What you'll need: Magazine pagesScissorsBone folderThin wooden skewerLow-temp glue gunWhite craft glueEye pinBlank cardstockClear acrylic sealerJump ring A note on glue: After much testing, I've found that my low-temp hot glue gun works well for this project. As an alternative, you can glue your coils with white craft glue, but you'll have to hold the work in place for a few minutes to let the glue set. First, you'll need several magazine pages.

Kako staviti externe kompijuterske uredjaje ispod stola
It happens to the best of us: we get seduced by some sleek ultramodern furniture design and forget to factor in what it will look like when we add cables, cords and other peripherals that have become essential in this age of electronic and digital technology. This idea solves the problem from the other direction: rather than boasting an initially simple design, it relies on your actions after-the-fact to transform a messy desk into a brilliantly clean workspace. Van Mardian may have been the first to publicize this simple DIY desk organizing idea, but many people have since (and likely before) come to the same conclusion: a simple piece of composite pegboard mounted underneath a work surface makes it easy to use wire, zip ties or whatever other fasteners you may have handy and attach all your necessary-but-ugly essentials so they are not seen from above.

Jamie’s Gift Bag: Make Your Own Terrarium
Winter can get super depressing. The gray skies and cold air only incentivize building a nest of blankets and ennui and holing up all day to watch Law & Order on Netflix Instant. Sometimes I think about ordering one of those lamps that is supposed to improve your mood by mimicking the sun. It’d probably be a good idea, but in the winter I get so preoccupied with the gross weather that I usually can’t do much more than walk from my bed to the kitchen to refuel on snacks. This makes it hard to order the lamp. Seasonal depression aside, I’m always a fan of things that make winter feel springy. What you need: 1. 5. How to do it: 1. Water your terrarium whenever the soil starts to look dry.
Book Art- How to Fold a Book into a Word.
I recently saw the following instructable on how to fold book pages into a number and it caught my attention. Instead of just a number I wanted to do a word or image. I love reading and thought this would make good gifts for friends. In particular is a couple with a huge collection of books that hosts monthly game nights. They make everyone feel welcome and I thought this would be a great gift for them. The instructable said to draw the image on the book; my problem is a word or image might get complicated and I am horrible at drawing. The beauty of this project is its simplicity. **NOTE** When trying to find instructions for book folding I found the above referenced page in French, did not see the translation.
All Wired Up: Old Beads Made New: | The Design Tree by Greentea Design
Chokers and bracelets get old and unstrung; earrings get lost. It’s a fact of life that I have a lot of experience on. I’m pretty clumsy, and absent-minded too, which doesn’t bode well for accessories that come in pairs or come in strings. I have a box of these lost and lonely little rocks and resins to prove it. I’ve forged a certain affinity for wire a while back — when I thought I wanted to be a sculptor. Just want to share: A dusty old wire and resin project from years ago.

Icy Earrings From... Bubble Wrap?!
I've been experimenting with fused bubble wrap this past week, something I've wanted to try ever since I spotted this awesome bubble wrap pendant over on Craft:. Here's what I came up with: Snowflakes! In June! There are lots of fused plastic and bubble wrap tutorials out there you can Google, but fortunately the process is really simple: just sandwich your plastic between two sheets of parchment paper and iron the bejeepers out of 'em. The resulting fused plastic is relatively smooth, but has a nifty crackly look to it, almost like frosted ice. Maybe in small quantities it's more pearl-ish. Anyway, after brainstorming a while I decided to take advantage of the icy look with snowflake earrings. They're pretty shiny when the light catches them, which adds to the ice illusion. These were made with four layers of fused bubble wrap, but I'd advise only using three layers if you try this yourself, since my poor punch almost didn't make it through the thick plastic.
