Ribbon organizer
Easy way to organize your ribbon collection.... I broke a plastic hanger on the corner and put my ribbon wheels through the base...as it gets fuller it will look better obv but I just used a lot for other crafts recently but you get the picture! :) simply tape up the broken end if needed and pull away as you please for your crafting needs!

Tin can fun!
Quick way to up cycle tin cans, jars or containers. You can paint, and add jewels and such but for this little craft I used scrap book paper I purchased at the dollar store. Cut to size, apply glue to decorative paper of choice and roll tin onto glued surface. Smooth out air bubbles and voila!
Things you will need:
Scrapbook paper--size to jar or tin but usually half the size works.
Scissors
Glue stick
Can or jar
I am planning to use mine for my craft room but just showing the possibilities, i.s--flower and decorative use.

Personalizing with Yarn
Using regular white glue and any colour yarn you can make a personalized vase for any room in your house. Use liquor bottles, (ha!), tin cans, really any thing that can be found around the house! This took me 3 mins to do plus dry time. Glue dries clear so don't worry and make sure you wrap yarn closely.
Playing with Pastels
Used pastels to dye my puppy's Mohawk! blended blue turquoise and green, it washes out :) as my best friend Megan said "pint sized punk". Works best on wet hair but is much easier to run water over the pastel crayon itself, or have a little cup to dip in to. I've done it in my own hair as well! *Note: Red may not wash out in one wash on blonde/ light hair!
Sea Shell Wreath
I did this in less than ten mins. Bought the wreath at Walmart for 5$ and used seashells that I've collected from trips and a glue gun. If you don't have seashells you can buy them for cheap at most crafting stores. Would look perfect at a beach house but I dont have one :(. It tells a story of all my vacations :).
Hang Dry Flowers
Using ribbon or twine hang to dry for ten days until no moisture. Then use high shine hairspray after totally dry to give a nice sheer shine. Makes a nice decoration as it dries :).

Buttoned Mirror
Using an old Ikea mirror (1.99$) I had lying around, some white glue and a bag of mismatched buttons purchased from the dollar store I created a functional and unique piece of art. Will now do other colour themes with the other mirror I have! :) Looks great on the wall!
