suitcase vanity & towel holder
When I visit a friend’s home, it’s the little details filling the house that stand out and make me feel welcome. In my own home, I want to find ways to make my guests feel special. Baking cookies or having a favorite drink on hand is easy. What is not so easy is the tiny size of our guest bathroom. The small space makes it difficult to have extra little items on hand for guests. To add a bit of storage that is both pleasing to look at and practical, I attached a thrifted vanity suitcase to the wall to serve as a towel holder and small cabinet.

15 DIY crafts you need to make right now
It's cold, it's raining and quite frankly, it's utterly miserable outside at the moment. So stay in! But then it hits you. It's not that great inside either.

Instead of spending your time sitting around moaning about the weather, why not spend your time doing something useful? Why not spend your time crafting some of these?

How to Make a Suitcase Table
As a crafter with a collection of supplies, tools, and general knickknacks, I am a person in need of some storage space. I'm not a huge fan of plastic bins and labeled boxes because they just seem so classroomy to me-- I like my storage to double as decor. So what better way to store things than with vintage suitcases? I already keep a lot of my supplies and out-of-season clothes in my stacked suitcases, and I have a stash of fabric and beads in the suitcase table my parents made me for Christmas, but I wanted to try to make a suitcase table on my own. (*On my own: Defined as getting directions from my dad and grandpa. And before I begin, there are a few shortcuts that you can take to make a suitcase table of your own.

How to cut glass
I posted a picture about 1 week ago on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter of me cutting glass using just string. I got LOT’S of requests for a tutorial on how I DID THIS! So here it is. FINALLY! I want to warn you. It’s best to triple your yarn because it will burn longer! Soak it GOOD! I like to tie my yarn where I want my glass to “cut” then quickly pour polish remover over the string again. Get a big bowl with ice and water ready. VERY IMPORTANT! Slowly turn your bottle. You can’t let the flame go OUT then dunk it in the ice water. YAY!!! I reallly hope you enjoyed this tutorial because I had ALOT of requests for it! © Copyright jaderbombllc, All rights Reserved.
Scrap Project Roundup
I have been trying to finish up all of my Holiday crafting, so I got behind on my scrap fabric projects last week. To make it up to all of you, here are a bunch of super cute scrap fabric projects I found on Pinterest! Above you will see a fabric scrap Memory game, found at Babble. This is a great wall art project using fabric scraps and embroidery hoops, from The Purl Bee. Here are some garden flags from Design Sponge. A fantastic fabric mosaic, as wall art, by Cart Before the Horse. This vintage chair rehab with scrap fabrics is absolutely gorgeous! You can also use your scraps to make a cute pillow case, like this one from Cluck Cluck Sew. What are your favorite projects to do with scraps?
