Washi Tape! Are you like me and just can't bring yourself to spend a lot of money on things that even though they are really pretty, will probably just sit there for ages without use?

5 Home Habits That Save Money There's no denying that times are tough, people are losing their jobs, and spending is down. In this type of economic climate, evenings out are replaced with time in. While we need our homes to be havens, we also have less money to spend on them. Click below for the 5 money-saving home habits we came up with, along with ways to implement them... Cooking at Home: To save the most, cut back on ordering in or going out to eat. Repurposing and Reusing: Before you buy something new, try "shopping" within your own home. Cleaning and Organizing: A chaotic, messy apartment is loaded with spending traps. Thrifting and Scavenging: You know those people who always have a story to tell about how they scored an Eames chair on Craigslist for $20 or a set of antique silver at a garage sale for pocket change? Sewing: We learned the basics of sewing in our Girl Scout Troop, and those skills have paid off much more than the training we used to earn our horseback riding or campfire badges.
DIY Washi Tape Laptop Keyboard | her new leaf Look whose little old MacBook got a facelift this weekend! I spotted this idea from minifanfan on Making It Lovely last week and just had to give it my own spin. I purchased my Japanese washi tape from Le Box Boutique on Etsy. There are hundreds of washi tape sellers but I chose Le Box because they allow you to purchase tape by the foot rather than having to purchase the entire roll. I chose these ten patterns but only ended up using eight of them on my keyboard. I first thoroughly cleaned my keyboard with rubbing alcohol to remove any dirt or oil that might keep the tape from sticking. I originally wanted to do all the keys, including the small keys in the top row, but the tape seemed to have a harder time sticking to the small keys. This project was a bit tedious but simple – perfect for a few hours in front of the tv. What do you think? Tagged as: craft, diy, tutorial
Fun DIY Tips and Tricks (13 pics) Once again, some great ideas. LOVE the cat bed! (source: vitaminha) Mini Marquee Sign with Lights We made this giant marquee sign last summer and I loved making it so when I saw these Mini Globe Lights I knew had to make a mini version. I actually made this project last month but forgot to take photos. So when I pulled them out of the bag the letters were a little bent after being ignored. They are made out of paper so if they are on a shelf they’ll be fine but from experience I just don’t recommend cramming them in a paper bag. This would be cute for a birthday party or even a Christmas party. . Click through for full instructions and photos! (p.s.: The letters don’t light up separately, it’s just a photoshop trick. Materials Needed: Scissors, Quick Dry Tacky Glue , X-acto Knife, Whole Punch, Cardstock, Free Template, Ruler, Mini Globe Lights Step 1: Download and Print the free template onto cardstock.
