Materials: 
•  Roll of craft paper
•  Paper doilies
•  2 colors of glitter paint (acrylic paint will work too)
•  Glitter glue
•  Small container
•  Foam brush
Steps: 
• Lay out craft paper on a flat surface. Cut to desired size and place a doily on top.
• Pour the first color of paint in a small container. Dip your brush in and lightly dab over the open holes of the doily, using it as a stencil.
• Peel back the doily to reveal your pattern.
• Continue to randomly place the doily on the paper and paint until most of it is covered.
• To add an accent color, grab a new doily along with your second color of paint and continue painting until you've reached your desired look.
• Add dots of glitter glue to add dimension and extra sparkle.

Materials: 
•  Glass ornament
•  CDs (choose ones that are silver underneath and not blue/purple. It takes about 1½ to make 1 ornament)
•  Ribbon
•  Scissors
•  Glue gun
Steps: 
• Cut CDs into various small shapes and sizes. It's not the simplest material to cut through, but can be done with a decent pair of scissors.
• Glue a small dot onto the ornament and press a piece of mosaic on top with the shiny side facing up. Be sure to wipe away any remaining "spiderwebs" from the glue gun. I find it much easier to clean as you go then to wait until the end.
• Continue gluing until the entire ornament is covered. Tip: You can also place the ornament on top of a small cup to hold in place as you glue.
• Place some ribbon inside the ornament. Since you can see through the glass ornament, this will cover up the glue dots on the inside and the back side of the CD pieces. Tip: Use bright ribbon to add some extra color.

Use an old purse or wallet and hang it from your charger socket to store your charge-ables.
4. Soap Container Cell Phone Holder — When you’re done with a bottle of soap or lotion, transform it into the perfect cell phone holder. You’ll never lose your phone again!
Then I held my phone up to the bottle, starting at the bottom…..and decided how high I wanted the front of the holder to be.  Then I made a line with a pen across the front at that point.  Then I turned the bottle around and continued the line to the back but curved the back upwards.
 Then, I turned the phone holder with the front facing me, and applied a generous layer of Mod Podge to the front.
When you get to the back, overlap one of the edges over the other.  Make sure the fabric is smooth all the way around the bottle……and then cut a straight line up the back of the container, trimming off the excess fabric.
And that’s it.  Your phone holder is ready for use.

The only added step that you need to do to make stemware washable (hand wash only) is to spray 1 or 2 coats of clear sealant over the top of the glittered area (enter ‘how to glitter’ in the Search the Site section at the top of this website). I use a glossy top coat.  Tape plastic over the part of the glass that you don’t need to cover with a clear coat.
Make glasses to match your wedding colors, any holiday, or a whole set of just black or silver glitter for a posh look

A touch of lace on denim jeans is all it takes to create an original look. Lace inserts are a popular denim DIY. For this project, you will need an old pair of jeans, a piece of lace or fabric, some sand paper, matching thread, a sewing machine, scissors, and iron on transfer paper. Make sure you mark where you want the lace to be on your jeans. Turn the leg inside out. Cut out the patch and sand the edges for a more natural look. Use this piece of fabric as a template for the lace. source : theforgestyle

1 : Wind the wool around your hand until you have a big, thick bunch of wool, then wrap the end around the middle and tie off, leaving a long piece at the end.
2 : Cut through the loops of wool and fluff it out into a pom-pom. Trim to a nice round shape!
3 : Cut the card into a thin rectangle, approximately the length of your book, and cut two pieces for each bookmark.
4 : Put double-sided tape on one side of the card, stick down the loose end of your wool so that the pom-pom sits at the top of the card, then add the second piece card on top to seal.
5 : Decorate your bookmark in any way that you like – I’ve used masking sticker strips from Wholeport and Washi tape, but you could use stamps to decorate it, cover with patterned paper or add an inspirational quote, such as Dr Seuss: “The more you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go…” or Walt Disney “There is more treasure in books than in all the pirate’s loot on Treasure Island”.

Inspired by all of the amazing character and charm of her farmhouse, First Home Dreams simply used a bit of ingenuity and a cordless drill to create some lovely DIY bathroom shelves. By flipping the way the brackets were hung, she created a whole new vintage vibe for her shelving.

Worn leather and reclaimed wood are, in my opinion, a match made in heaven! Our next DIY shelf from Design Sponge used two thrift store belts, two pieces of recycled wood, and a handful of nails to make this masculine, rustic shelving unit.

Husband and wife team Subtle Takeover and Arrow & Apple built these breathtaking DIY honeycomb shelves to showcase some of their favorite items. Made out of fence planks and several drywall screws, I’m sure the carpenter’s rule of “Measure twice, cut once!” certainly applied here with all of those angles!

I’m glad paper ribbon is back! I have some stashed away, but I’ll need some fresh colors to make some flowers. Love it!

Because this project is rather easy and inexpensive, you could make a unique candle holder for just about every holiday and season. And, if you’re anything like me, there’s no need to go and buy the glassware. I have a ton of old glasses and mason jars that would work well for this project. You could also pick some up for just pennies at a thrift store. Hop on over to Makezine for the instructions!
