Sweet Crafts

Posted by Leah on Feb 5, 2010 in How To Do It

Valentines Day is just around the corner and that means time for cutesy crafts! I strolled upon a great craft site today that was featuring several Valentine crafts that are easy and cheap.

First is this quick and easy heart garland. All it takes is some pink or red construction paper, a needle, some tape, a pencil, and string. You’ve probably got those things lying around your house right now! Make some and hang it in your doorways. That’ll put you in the spirit. Or better yet, prank a friend and hang hearts all over their house! Believe me, it’s fun.

If those aren’t crafty enough for you, then try these flowery things. This page shows various flowers using felt, knitting, crochet, embroidery, and ribbon. So even if you can’t knit or crochet, you can still make a lovely flower pin to wear during this happy holiday. Or you can attach some of these floral beauties to stem and put them in a vase to brighten up your home during the cold winter months.

While you’re there, check out this site. It has lots of fun Do-It-Yourself crafts and other goodies. Enjoy your Valentines Day!

DIY: Not Your Ordinary Bookshelf

Posted by Manda on Jan 28, 2010 in How To Do It

It’s very exciting to find a new way to do an old thing – even over here in the art world, painting and sculpture have been done for hundreds of years just fine, but modern artists always find a way to give it a new kick. These bookshelves from Indestructables are more of a building project, but still something you can make at home!

This do-it-yourself project makes an eye-catching way to display your books without having to damage them at all – you can even swap the books out as you please! The shelf utilities elastic to hold the books in place, so there’s no worry that they’ll slip out. It makes for a neat trick though – and a great way to fool someone as a prank if they aren’t expecting it!

How do you display your books? Did you craft something to do it? Go ahead and leave a comment and let us know – we’d love to hear your responses!
