Finally finished a project with my hubby this weekend. My necklaces were getting to be a tangled mess so we created this jewelry holder using cabinet pulls and a leftover piece of cedar board. Ed put a decorative edge on the board with a router, but simple reclaimed wood looks great as well.
1. Cut board to desired length.
2. Stain or paint desired color (I used Minwax stain in "ispwich pine")
3. Drill holes for the cabinet knobs. Usually 3/16 drill bit size.
I just threw away some egg cartons because I couldn't think of what to do with them and then I stumbled across these upcycled egg carton lights! See the complete tutorial at epsrit cabane for detailed instructions to make your own.

I'm digging this cute birdie garland tutorial over at A Little Glass Box. A little chipboard and scrap paper never looked so good. I'm seeing lots of garland decor lately for all seasons instead of just Christmas.
I don't know if this Disco Ball Helmut would be DOT approved for actual use, but it certainly looks awesome. Check out the full DIY article by Natalina on Instructables.
It's almost time for the Easter Bunny so I'd thought I'd share my "Hoppy Easter" tags. Just click the image to download the PDF. Then print on your favorite paper, trim and punch a hole for ribbon or thread.
Here's a fun piece I got to work on recently. It's a super simple magnetic memo board. You basically need sheet metal, some enamel spray paint, ribbon, buttons and magnets. Drill some holes, paint the sheet metal, glue buttons or doodads to your magnets, add a ribbon to hang and voila—you're done. I love styling photoshoots and I worked with photographer Mark Wagoner on this particular project.
