Frame Key Holder Time for my first official DIY post ever. Let me start off by saying I do not consider myself to be a crafty person, though I aspire to be one, ha. I have a mom who can do about anything crafty there is to do. Growing up, she managed a fabrics and crafts store, taught craft classes, sewed tons of our outfits, fixes band suits in high school, took in and hemmed prom dresses, etc etc. If you don’t believe me, she has a quilting blog to prove it! That being said, I hope at least a little bit of that is in my blood, and that someday it will come forth. But we will start simple. Very, very simple with a frame key holder, inspired by Pinterest. DIY Frame Key Holder Things you will need: A frame. What to do: Take your frame and plan out where you’d like your hooks to be placed. Yes, it’s that easy! To some, they may not even be considered a DIY project due to it’s level of non difficulty, but it was a definite start for me. Now I need to get pinning and find my next project!

DIY & Crafts How to make your own curtains: 27 brilliant DIY ideas and tutorials I used to own a condo built in the early ’70s. It had an 8′ sliding glass door in the living room and, in many ways, that was great. (I happened to be first floor, so moving the furniture in through a 4′ opening? I can’t remember if the idea came to me in advance or if I was wandering around Kmart and saw the Martha Stewart fleece blankets on sale, for like $20 every size. The only downside was that they shrunk a teeny bit each time they were washed (once or twice a year) and by the time I moved out, they were not quite touching the floor, but considering that I got probably 6+ years of use out of $40 in fleece blankets, I can live with the shrinkage. If you’re cursed with an energy inefficient window/sliding glass door, I encourage outside-the-box thinking — fleece blankets, vellux blankets, affordable comforters that tie in with your decor, etc. may be cheaper (and possibly work better) than insulated curtains. For a nicer look, I’d suggest using a much wider blanket (or use two).

The one I tested only called for: baking sodastarch of your choice - I used corn starch, because we had somecoconut oil You basically mix these up and either chill it for a stick deodorant or put it in a container for more of a lotion-style situation. The mixture ended up way too crumbly for my taste. 4 Ingredient DIY Deodorant 2 tablespoons baking soda2 tablespoons corn starch3 tablespoons coconut oil1 tablespoon olive oil This chilled nicely into the mold, as pictured at the top there, and is nice and creamy at room temperature.
