DIY Continuous Ink Printer = Unlimited Free Printing Instead of paying for absurdly priced printer cartridges, build yourself a Continuous Ink Printer (CIS) which can be made by hacking an old printer to suck ink from external reservoirs. You can get the raw ink for dirt cheap so it’s essentially like unlimited printing for free (besides the paper). So now you can actually print your collection of pirated books! A CIS is relatively easy to create, just take an Epson Stylus 760 (a surprisingly hard to find printer) and make a few modifications to it. More Printer Hacks:
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. I’ve skimmed through quite a number of websites that’s dedicated to the craft of wire jewelry, and found a ton of ideas and inspiration. All I needed were the most basic materials and tools. Quickie pendant The sites I mentioned above also provide not just inspiration, but a lot of very useful tips and a bunch of awesome projects that users can download for free. Pendant with a "woven" cage. The finished pendants! These are what the pendants look like when they're strung up.
Black Labels, Bright Lights: 5 DIY Wine Bottle Lamp Projects Admire the label art, open the bottle, drink the wine, put a stopper in, then consume the rest later … and then what? While a true collector might still keep the empty glass around, most of us then dispose of the leftover container and move on. Here are some illuminating reasons to think twice before recycling them right away. More than decor, candles can add nice mood lighting to a space – particularly when filtered through dark greens and browns of a glass wine bottle. Lamps are an obvious choice for useful and display purposes, and by preserving the full bottle intact they can also let the labels remain (or add your own drawing or image) if you prefer to have a bit more decor than a simple colored glass object. Wine bottle lights like these are also quite attractive hanging from the ceiling, providing soft lighting like an antique chandelier – just be sure to attach them tightly as they would also surely hurt (and possibly shatter) were they to drop.

My Flour/Sugar Drawers (Note: If you missed the KitchenAid winner results, you can find them here.) When Marlboro Man and I kicked his parents out of their house on the ranch so we could live there instead, I didn’t want to do a thing to the house. It was 30 years old, lived in, exceedingly comfortable, and I loved everything about it. The ceilings needed a fresh coat of paint, though, so after we kicked his parents to the curb, we decided to have it painted before we moved in. The day after the painter started, Marlboro Man said, “Why don’t we just go ahead and re-do the kitchen as long as we have this mess in here?” Six months later, we moved into the house, which by then had a brand new kitchen. And okay, we didn’t kick Marlboro Man’s parents to the curb. I asked my mother-in-law to help me figure out the design of the new kitchen because she’s good at that type of thing and she’d lived in the house for thirty years and knew all about the air and the light there. I’m happy with the way it turned out.

Fancy Fabric Embellishments: Stuffed Yo-yos for Pinning or Wearing - Quilting Daily - Blogs I have quite a stash of hand-dyed silk ribbon, beads, buttons, and trims that I could use to embellish a quilt. The trouble is, aside from my small fabric collages, I haven't been making embellished quilts recently. Then I remembered Michelle Muska's Embellished Stuffed Yo-yos from the first season of "Quilting Arts TV." Michelle makes the yoyos out of scraps of cotton, velvet, or silk.

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.
