Bobby Pin Holder

I seriously have no idea why I didn't think of this before. I'll admit, it's not the cutest thing ever but it sure does come in handy when traveling. And to think, it's just an old Tic Tac container...sweettt http://www.simplyfrugal.ca/2012/01/organization-idea-bobby-pin-storage/

Orange Candle

So...apparently these aren't the best directions for this craft. I wouldn't recommend this anyways. It gets really messy. I think it would be more simple and less costly to go out and buy an orange scented candle. Again though, the link must have been deleted (Google more than likely has a better one anyways) :/ But here's the one that I have, at least it still has the picture... http://media-cache-ec2.pinterest.com/originals/96/41/c7/9641c74dfb76678b2127dbd2078b84a6.jpg

Button Bowl

Step 1. Grab a balloon & blow it up; Step 2. Glue buttons on it to form the "bowl"; Step 3. Let glue dry & remove bowl. I wouldn't recommend this craft. Yes, it's easy & a reliever of boredom but it can also be frustrating. I found the buttons don't always stick on the balloon or to each other. Then, when you take the bowl off, it tends to break easily :/ Here's the link I have anyways. http://bonkersaboutbuttons1.blogspot.com/2010/12/knoop-button-bowl.html

Melty Bead Bowl

Remember those plastic bead things that you used to make shapes & stuff out of?? Same concept, well sort of... I'll go ahead & say that I wouldn't recommend this but if you want to try it, go for it. I say that last part because they tend to end up breaking and I found that I didn't really have a use for the new "bowl". There's that & the fact that the link that I used to make mine was deleted. Here's the link to my Pinterest though, so you can at least see a picture. I'm sure you could Google this or find it somewhere else on Pinterest but all you really do is take the beads, pour them in a bowl that WON'T melt, & wait. Then take the bowl out, let it cool & there you go! http://pinterest.com/pin/3940718393824128/

T-Shirt Make Over

Take an old t-shirt, cut the sleeves off & around the neck, grab some ribbon, & ta-da...here's a new shirt to slip on for working out or a swimsuit cover up or whatever your heart desires I suppose. I've tried this & another t-shirt makeover & found that they don't work so well for me. If you do well with this type of craft or have an old shirt laying around, I'd recommend it. For me though, I'll stick to using shirts from high school. Again, there wasn't a link with actual directions so I'll post the link that has a picture of it. http://media-cache-ec1.pinterest.com/originals/28/77/26/2877268a1b9e3b7f14c53b4cfb0f9c04.jpg

Picture Frame Dry Erase Board

Picture frame, cute paper, dry erase marker. Yep, that's it. Doesn't work so well for me b/c I like to make lists and see what I've crossed off. Other than that, go for it! There isn't an actual link to this craft but if you'd like a picture, here ya go! http://media-cache-ec5.pinterest.com/originals/28/28/41/28284113810cc7fd748c1ee9b42aa185.jpg

Paper Clip Bracelet Helper

Basically, you're supposed to be able to use the paper clip to help you put your bracelets on. It didn't really work for me but if it works for you, go for it! http://lifehacker.com/5690114/use-an-paper-clip-to-put-on-bracelets-the-easy-way
