Do-It-Yourself Fabric Cork Board, Easy Tutorials

Photo Courtesy: I Heart Naptime 

I love garage sales. That's a great place to find inexpensive frames. You don't have to love the painting, but if the frame is something you can recycle or up cycle then you might as well buy it.

JamieLyn at I Heart Naptime created an awesome looking fabric cork board. If you read over her tutorial its very simple to make. Click here to get to those instructions.

Here is a SUPER simple video tutorial. All you need is one of those cork boards you can buy at the local discount store, some fabric, tacks, glue and stapler.



If you make one let me know in comments below. I would love to post a photo on my Best Crafters Facebook page. 

Happy Crafting!

Recycle those Christmas Cards, and make them your own!

I don't throw anything away. I know there is always something to be made from the smallest item, even a greeting card.

I kept my Christmas cards from last year. Recently, I took out my rubber stamps, inks, glitter glues, scrapbook paper, and took a few pages from an old music book. I also grabbed a few stickers and gift tags. I  got some blank cards and started creating new Christmas cards from the store bought ones.

I made a few tags earlier. These cards are also one-of-a-kind.

Happy Crafting!

Quick Craft: Recycle your Christmas Cards into gift tags

Everyone knows I don't throw anything away. And if I can recycle something and give it a second life, that's even better.  I got a new "tag" puncher for Christmas. Then I noticed my pile of Christmas cards from my friends and family.  That's when I came up with the following video.

It's also the first time I have produced a video with my smart phone. I figured it's a quick video and I needed to get the idea out to you guys right away, before your toss the cards. Enjoy!



If you have other ideas for your Christmas cards, please leave a link or idea in comments.

Happy Crafting!

Recycle Keys into Stunning Necklaces

I swear I can't throw anything away.  And now that I've seen what people have made with old house and car keys, I won't toss another key out again.

I found these photos on Pinterest, but unfortunately those who repinned the photos did not keep a
link to the original jewelry maker.

So look at these keys and get some ideas.  They would make great gifts.  This project will help you use up that extra bead, and chain link.

Key, beads and leather cord....

...Key, beads, chain, charm 

Keys, old rhinestone earrings, rhinestone chain...

Now go get creative!
