12 Wire Wrapped Word

Wire Wrapped Word: I live in an apartment with all white walls and quite a minimal style, but there’s one thing that I’m stuck with and can’t afford to change – the ugly aging beige intercom handset. I’ve given a lot of thought to how I can hide or disguise it, to no avail. So I came up with a solution: instead of trying to hide it, I decided to create this neon wrapped wire speech bubble to place right next to it. Now the handset doesn’t stick out like a sore thumb anymore, it’s become part of a fun art piece. This tutorial is quite easy: using fabric to wrap the wire is faster and easier than thread or yarn and wrapping the wire before shaping it makes it fast and not too fiddly. | Difficulty: Beginner; Length: Medium; Tags: Decorations, Scissors, Craft Wire, Stretch Fabric, Glue (via Tuts+)

However, there are some items that are used more frequently than others. For instance, I keep small nails and thumbtacks in my junk drawer and I use them almost every day.

Use a wooden craft store rack to hold headbands: My daughters have adorable headbands. Like 50 of them. The headbands make great (and easy) accessories when getting ready for school, but as soon as the girls get home, the headbands magically fly off their heads and land all over our house. Usually they’re strewn about countertops, dresser tops, and coffee tables. Along with shoes, these are the items most likely to result in a cranky mom. When they clean them up, they all go in a drawer in the bathroom, where they spend a few days trying to climb out and liberate themselves from confinement. Either that or they’re multiplying in there like little colorful bunnies, which would explain… Keep Reading (via The Palette Muse)

Clever DIY Crafts Ideas

CheerUp — Sat, 26 Dec 2015 00:30:06 +0000

Whether you’re aiming for efficiency, decoration, fun, or self-sufficiency, there’s a awesome DIY project just waiting for you. Here’s how to make some of the most clever DIY crafts we found.

1 Color Your Shoe Soles

Color Your Shoe Soles: Looking to spruce up your old black shoes? Check out my latest DIY project for colored soles. It is quick & easy, and the result is adorable! (via Fashion Lush)

2 Stool out of magazines

Stool out of magazines: As much as we’ve tried to thin down the magazines that come into the home, there will still be a few publications we truly like to have in hand and will continue keeping. We suspect that your house is similar, so instead of stocking your bookcases full of back issues, try putting them to use instead; as seating! (via Apartment Therapy)

3 Braided Hex Nut Bracelet

Mason Jar Spout (via The Cheese Thief)

7 Use Pull Tabs to Hang Pictures

Use Pull Tabs to Hang Pictures: When I was a teenager, we had a distinctly impolite name for a pull tab that had been removed from the can with the rivet ring still intact, said name being based on a persistent urban legend about the alleged redemption value of these relatively rare tabs. I can assure you, dear readers, that legend has nothing to do with the reason I am familiar with this handy trick for removing pull tabs with the ring intact every time. Turns out, a tab with an intact rivet ring is quite useful for mounting to wooden frames as a picture hanger. And I, you know, have to hang up lots of pictures. Seriously. (via Make)

17 Ping Pong Ball Cafe Lights

Ping Pong Ball Cafe Lights: Right now Edie sleeps with us in our bedroom.
