Looking for a way to fill that blank wall but don't have permission to paint?

Created by Dane Holweger paint chip calendar A few weeks ago, I saw this paint chip calendar on my friend David’s blog Cheltenham Road and knew I had to make one! It combines two things that I love…stylishness and organization. And the fact that it utilizes paint chips? Even better. I mostly followed David’s tutorial with just a few modifications. That’s the beauty of this project…it’s totally customizable. Since I planned for this calendar to hang in my office, I chose paint chips that would coordinate with the room and with the pin board that hangs on the adjacent wall. Here’s my version. materials needed: poster frame, fabric, hot glue gun, 35 paint chips, paper trimmer, corner rounder, fabric glue, foam brush 1) Purchase a poster frame (mine came from Target…$9.99). 2) Remove the edges from the frame. 3) Cover the cardboard insert with fabric using hot glue to secure it on the back, pulling tightly to keep the fabric smooth. 4) Trim the paint chips with a paper trimmer (I chose to leave the paint color names but cut off the brand).

Leather Lanyard Bracelet Maeg-it Yourself & THE YESSTYLIST Okay, not the best shot of the bracelet, but I couldn’t resist! If you went to summer camp as a kid, you’ll totally remember making lanyard keychains with that brightly colored plastic lace {I had tons of them!} .So I thought, why not do it with leather laces? And I did. So I thought I’d show you how and if you like, you can buy one of mine because I’ve listed a few in my Etsy shop. * Leather laces * Chain * Clasp * Needle nose pliers/Scissors NOTE: There are tons of lanyard-making videos on youtube if these instructions are a bit confusing! * Cut 2 strips of leather laces. * To begin, find the middle of one of your laces and wrap it twice around your finger. * Getting the first and last stitches done are the most difficult, so watch these videos for help. * To secure the end knot, leave your last box stitch loose then with each lace, loop around your nearest loop/under/up through the center, then all the way around. * Using your pliers, open a link in your chain . . .
