Tutorial - Laundry Room Makeover

Spruce up your laundry room and add storage space

Tutorial at Grandmas House DIY Blog

"Our laundry room is basically a large closet off of our dining room/entry room in our home. Is having the laundry room in our dining room ideal? Of course not, but with an old house sometimes the only options are really not all that great. But, I digress, so far it hasn’t bother Joe or I at all, the dining room is big enough and our laundry room/closet is plenty big enough so it hasn’t at all been a problem. We have a scratch and dent certified new LG washer/dryer combo, just in case you were wondering why there was only one machine that looks like a washing machine in the picture".... Read more

Tutorial - How to Make a Recycled Lid Organizer

Uses pretty shelf liner paper and a recycled box

Tutorial at Borei Design Blog

"I am currently trying to go through my entire house to clean, purge and organize. The food storage container cabinet was my first stop in the kitchen.  This cabinet was really, really bad....I mean try to cram stuff in real quick and slam the door before everything falls out, bad.   I started by dragging everything out on my kitchen floor.  I then went through each container and anything that was broken, seriously worn or missing a lid got tossed.  I then washed all the "keepers" and was left with this"....

Simple, inexpensive, space efficient solution
 
Tutorial at Happier than a Pig in Mud Blog

"I've been looking at these flexible hoses for a while now and was even more interested when I saw there is/was(?) a bucket that hangs over the faucet to store it in. The bucket only seems to be on Ebay these days and sells for big bucks. I knew there had to be another idea... Now, in a perfect world this little basket would be white. But this is ~my~ world and sometimes I just have to make do for now".... Read more

Tutorial - How to Make a Crochet Hook Holder

Holder is made with a bamboo sushi rolling mat

Tutorial at Petit Bout de Chou Blog

"I must say that as a craft lover I can sometimes get a little bit overwhelmed when it comes to buying new tools or craft supplies... And after a few years of crochet in Hong Kong, I have just realised that I have many crochet hooks all over the place! It was time for a little re-organisation of this mess and I thought it would be a great occasion to share this quick and easy DIY with you.  The good thing with this hook holder is that it is not only super cute, but also very quick to do and cheap!

Tutorial - Goal Setting for 2016

Free yearly and monthly goal setting printable

Tutorial at AKI 1 a.m. Blog

"Some of you might argue the following list of my personal goals for 2016 is more of a resolution list, and you would not be wrong. But I find calling them goals motivates me further since ‘goals’ are more result oriented. In comparison ‘resolutions’ are just decisions that most of us end up breaking, at least I don’t find it impelling enough to stay persistent. Anyways, whatever you may want to call it, I feel even more answerable for achieving them since it is posted on the blog now".... Read more

Tutorial - Recycle a Fruit Box into a Filing Box

Easily done. no specialist skills required

Tutorial at Hands On Workshop Blog
 

"Now that I’m half way through the year, I’m tweaking and adjusting my office ‘systems’. I’ve discovered that I really like storing my paperwork and tear sheets (pages of mags or print outs) in hanging files. It’s a really easy way to find things, they don’t get squashed, different size bits of paper all fit in, and you don’t have to punch big holes in the document.  The only trouble is, that I don’t have room for a filing cabinet and most of them are pretty darn ugly. But….I found that if I adapted my “Aussie Farmers”  boxes (it’s an Australian grocery delivery service), I could make a neat box for my hanging files".... Read more

Tutorial - How to Make a Covered Hanger

Wrap a few in tissue paper with a lavender bag for a thoughtful hand made gift

Tutorial at Hands On Workshop Blog

"These Covered Coathangers look really pretty and they’re super practical too. NO sewing involved. Coathangers are an ingeniously simple design. Perfect for hanging business shirts, but not so perfect for many women’s tops and dresses. Strappy tops and light Summer dresses have a habit of slipping off just after you’ve hung them. You hang up the item again, and it slides off a second time. The coathanger is left swinging on the rack, almost daring you to do it again".... Read more

Tutorial - How to Make a Yarn Box

Keep your yarn untangled and clean

Tutorial at Akamatras Blog

"Fall is the part of the year when I enjoy crocheting the most! It's always nice to have time to sit on your couch and crochet a warm blanket, a beanie, or a couple of dozes cup cozies! Only this year I am not alone. Nope, this year I have company near me on the couch! A little furry mister called Mini the cat. I've wrote all about him here but I am not sure if I stressed out how much of a yarn thief this little guy is! He is going into battle as I write these lines with one of my crochet bows! I mean he LOVES to play with it!  However I have a business to run and I can't have cat hair all over my crochet items".... Read more

Tutorial - Woven Ribbon Recycled Can Pencil Holder

Uses leftover ribbon and recycled tin cans

Tutorial at Purple Hues and Me Blog

"Recycled tin cans are the perfect size to contain pens, pencils, markers and other office supplies.  There are so many ways to design a recycled tin can into a pen and pencil holder - just google tin can pen and pencil holder and you'll see literally hundreds.  I've done a lot of woven ribbon items lately and thought why not try it on a tin can.  Besides, I needed to make some pen holders anyway.  I have too many pens and other writing and drawing instruments and really need a place to store them instead of my usual ziplock bags"....

Tutorial at Plaister and Disaster Blog

"Now that I have totally freaked you out by showing you the horrible, terrifying pictures of my garage, I thought I would pop back in to share a sweet little craft project to assure you that there is still beauty in the world.  However, like most good projects, this one will also get ugly before it gets pretty.  I’ve been wanting to experiment with cement for a long time, and this weekend I finally got to try it out.  Since I was a total novice, I thought I would start out easy and use some silicone ice cube trays which are very easy to work with"....

Tutorial - Repurpose a Spice Rack for Craft Storage

Quick fix for craft tool organization

Tutorial at Nanny Craft 4 U Blog

"Some time ago now, I picked up this Spice Rack – nothing exceptional but I was sure I could make good use of it, so today I am going to re-purpose a spice rack. I thought I would get Poppy to paint it white for me, so while he was off doing that I got thinking!  After searching through the kitchen cupboards, I discovered that I could fit four glass tumblers neatly in the rack.  I thought of covering them with fabric or even contact but was looking for a faster, more simple solution – why not try aluminum foil"....

Tutorial - How to Eliminate Electronic Cable Chaos

Affordable way to corral electronic cables

Tutorial at Cute Simple Stuff Blog
 

"Hi everyone! Hopefully I am not the only one who gets frustrated because of how chaotic having a bunch of cables on the same place (usually next to a computer) can be. So I wanted to try this hack/idea I saw online. Its using toilet paper rolls. Yes, kind of upcycling those. Thought the idea was genius, keeping in mind this if for a period of time, because of the nature of the materials. So far, my cables are looking good, and I am a much happier person because I can just grab them easily".... Read more
