This bugs my wife to no end because we're always scrambling last minute to find gifts (Thank you Amazon Prime 2-Day shipping).
I have a little date book with the birthdays in it but I never think to check it. The solution is a calendar of sorts. There is a board with 12 hooks underneath, one for each month. Hanging on these hooks are, for lack of a better word, small plaques with a family members name and the day their birthday falls in the month. The customization of this project is almost limitless, use different shapes or colors for each side of the family, or for each gender, and obviously the visual style and decorations can be customized to reflect your family. I have to thank my wife for the visual style you see here, she picked the colors and decorations, and her handwriting on the pieces.
How to Make a Magnetic Cosmetics Board. Home Decor Art: Quilting Hoop Wall Art with Scrap Fabric. SmARTaleck Studio: Storage - Love, love, storage. I've been stuck lately - hence the delay in posting. Hoping straightening up my studio would get me creating again I began by making a storage unit for my variety of miscellaneous pens that weren't organized. My current pencil/pen storage units sit out on my work table and are made of three cut up heavy card board tubes (I used a dremel saw to cut them). The tubes were left over from a large roll of copy paper generally used to copy house/engineering plans.
I built these in sections so they would interlock and I could take out one section at a time when I just wanted pencils or copic markers or my black line pens. You get the idea. Well...I didn't have a cardboard tube left to cut up and I remember having a talk with me, myself and I pointing out the obvious - that I had enough "stuff" and needed to think outside of the box to come up with something I could use on-hand materials for. I was surprised at how much it held. This was the "after" party. The Most Unexpected Way to Rock a Pair of Fishnets - Hello Brit - Living. It's true. Mason jars are everywhere. Whether it's mason jar rim bangles, pendant lights, coffee mug lids, or planters, pretty much everything comes in mason jar form these days.
But what happens when a mason jar hooks up with a pair of fishnets and a can of gold spray paint? Beachy golden awesomeness, that's what. We can't wait to try this out with vases, glassware (a la Candy Cane Cups), and obviously a fishbowl. Materials: - jars (mason jars, jelly jars, mustard jars, etc) - fishnet stockings! (or any netted material) - gold spray paint - tape (electrical + painter's) - string First, clean your jars. Cut a piece of netting so that it wraps nicely around your jar. To spray, you definitely want to get outside. Unwrap, and voila! Aren't they just darling? These ones remind us of a honeycomb. Next up, stripes. These are definitely the easiest ones. Lastly, we created polka dot jars using oil cloth and a giant hole punch.
Remove the tape, and there you have it! DIY Neon Nonslip Hangers - Hello Brit - Style. Spring is officially here!

Photo by Alexandra Grablewski. Japanese Washi Tape. Instead of our usual DIY this week, I thought I’d share a series of easy projects that I’m dying to make using the current craze sweeping the interiors world – Japanese Washi tape. Washi tape is essentially masking tape turned on it’s head by the clever Japanese and now produced in an array of wonderful patterns and colours, they can be layered up, written on and torn – you can use them to decorate anything! You can buy these in the UK from Present and Correct, at Pretty Tape on Etsy and from a huge selection at Happy Tape which ships from the US but is such a worthwhile addition to your stationary stash! I love this sweet entertaining idea below – plain coloured washi tape within a colour scheme is simply folded intermittently around string to create a striking alternative bunting effect. They are also used as the tops of tiny flags at place settings.

By Rohini Wahi. DIY Aluminum Lanterns using Upcycled Radiator Perforated Metal Sheets. I originally came up with this idea as a good way to practice before I made a pendant lamp for our home, using the cloverleaf pattern below, and I just had to share them with you.
Inspired by Moroccan lanterns, I used perforated metal sheets often used on radiator covers to create little lanterns and vases. You can also thread wire or ribbon on them to mark table numbers. They look as cute in daylight as they look when lit! - perforated metal sheets or upcycle them from used radiator covers (found in places like here) - tin snips + fine sand paper for metal - 20 or 22 gauge wire - flat pliers - spray paint Create templates on a piece of paper to play with the proportions before you begin cutting the metal sheet.
Once you have all the templates you’d like to use, outline them with a pencil on the metal sheet. Slowly cut your rectangles away. Thread both ends of your cylinder using 20 or 22 gauge wire and twist tight using pliers. View Step-by-Step Instructions. Pepper Design Blog » Blog Archive » Easy Envelope Pillows. Back with a quick example of how easy it is to make envelope pillows (no zippers, no buttons) out of cloth napkins and remnant fabric. I made four new pillows in a couple of hours last Saturday morning and featured them here in my Spring living room update. The truth is, I’ve had several of these cloth napkins lying around the house for months if not years! They were waiting for the perfect opportunity and new throw pillows fit the bill. These raspberry red velvet guys are from a yard of fabric from my local discount fabric shop. My two new cloth napkin envelope pillows are over here on this side.
When mixing so many pillows, I try to throw a couple over-sized ones in the mix (wish I had one BIG one), a few medium throw pillows, a horizontal size and maybe a little guy. But really, cloth napkins are pretty genius as pillow covers. I’ll go through all four pillows, but let’s start with the horizontal botanical print pillow. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. and over to the sewing machine we go. 6. 1. 2. 1.

Magnetic Spice Rack. It’s spring cleaning time, everyone! So what better excuse to sort through and organize your spices? Looking for spice storage can be extremely frustrating. (Too big! Not enough jars! Don’t even think of taking up my counter space!)
So I schemed up my own more flexible storage system. The problem I loved the idea of the magnetic spice rack for two key reasons. 1: It is an open system, so you could potentially add more spice jars as needed without having to overflow storage into a cabinet. 2: Magnets mean that you can put the spices on the fridge or wall, freeing up that most-valuable-of-all real estate, counter space. The solution I tried to keep this really simple. Before you start Selecting tins I like to have a wide variety of spices on hand.

More Spice Rack Ideas: Wall-Mounted Magnetic Spice Rack. Magnetic Spice Rack. I found this post at Bakerella over a year ago, and since then I've been determined to do this myself. There are a few problems, though.I have a very tiny kitchen, and not enough wall space for a traditional spice rackI have limited counter space, so a counter spice rack is out as well.
(and besides, most of them are positioned so that you can't really see what's in the bottles, which kinda defeats the purpose of this project.)Even if I did happen to find room for a traditional spice rack, most of them only hold 12 or 15 bottles. And I have WAY more sprinkles than that! While looking online for spice racks, I came across this: A Magnetic Spic Rack (image from www.silvernutmeg.com) This would be absolutely perfect for my really tiny kitchen! Here's what you need: 1 piece of 26 gauge metal in the size you want (mine was 12x24 inches and I bought it at Lowe's) Magnets - 1 for each case (I used 1 inch size from Lowe's, they come 6 to a pack) Super glue A close up of some of the sprinkles.
