Lace it up, baby tie it in a knot" - Hello by Karmin

Ever wonder how you can spice up your boring old lamp? Ok, maybe your lamp isn't as boring as mine, but you still want color right? Or a little pattern/texture? Don't know how to decorate that shade without something permanent? Here's your solution!

Find some string or something long. You can encircle your lamp shade like I did in the 1st picture or find a necklace or another form of attachment like my room lamp in the second picture. I used a broken flashy heart necklace. Then just start braiding, twisting, or whatever. Yea, I could've done swirls, but hahah I didn't have string enough! Have fun!

Ferrero Rocher Figures

"Hal
hallow
halloweeee
halloweeen!!
HALLOWEEENIE!
Give me beer give me beer!
No, not the beer, give me some
Ferrero brand soda in a Rocher brand glass."
Listen to the cries of the Ghoul
When that's all well and done,
The goblin in the hood
the Ghoul with your kids,
will settle with a goblet
and rest on Halloween!

Its past halloween, I know. I missed it becuse as a commuter in college, I'm not surrounded by 50 thousand halloweeners. My world doesn't consist of halloween spirit. What I did on halloween? I was a bum avoiding my neighborhood until after 10pm. I stayed in the library with some friends and had our own fun. Not that I'm against the holiday, just too busy for it.

And don't ask how I made mr. goblin because I honestly don't know. The pop bottle, I just squished a wrapper up, and the glass in the back is two wrappers layered.

T-shirt Head band

The headband,

such a simple yet useful tool in our society.

A fashionable yet practical tool

holding hair back for years now

and for years to come.

Men or women,

in sports?

Many varieties for sale.

in fashion?

Many varieties still.

 

Anyway, I just wanted to share this inexpensive, fun, useful, and green way to make something beautiful. It's from strips of an old t-shirt that I didn't want and I KNOW no one would want - not even a homeless guy (or girl, whatever). Yeah, just cut up an old T-shirt and have fun with it. I actually didn't even know I was making a headband....hahaha, i was too lazy to make more braids for something bigger. Have fun!

Origami Jewelry

 

Why do we wish upon a star?

What makes a star any more powerful than ourselves?

Is it their innocence? Their beauty?

How about its universal wisdom?

Everynight, millions look up to them, wishing, thinking, thanking.

They spill out their hearts to the stars, because only they won't judge.

They look to the stars for help, guidance.

These tiny pieces in the mystery of life

provide a very real bit of magic

Proof of something greater.

                  Earrings 

                            Rings and Necklace

                                    Necklace                      .

 

I have a bunch of origami stars, two finished stacks of them, and I have no idea what to do with them except have them look pretty - that is, until now!

 

I don't know why I didn't think of iut before, but I was looking for a gift for a friend one day and realized she may want earrings, then I saw earring bits in Michael's and it just clicked! So here are a few creations I came out with.

Ferrero Rocher Deer

We meet again, young ones!

So what have we got today?

deerie?

Rumple, this is no place for your little deeries,

but this is a place for the Deer.

The magnificent creature,

agile and swift,

powerful and wise.

Silently, they watch the horrors of this world and yet they

with their strength,

remain innocent.

I present to you,

the Deer.

 

You all know what a Fererro Rocher is. You know their wrappers are foil and are unique with their little embedded squares. They're shiny and captures light well, as does their little stickers. But I always hated wasting these wrappers which probably cost more than the chocolate itself. So what do I do with them? I collected a bunch and created a little decoration. I've decided upon creating a foil deer out of Ferrero Rocher wrappers. I may poke a string in him to make an ornament later in the year, but for now, here's what he looks like.

 



Penny table or floor

Hello,

My first post will be on something I found the other day that blew my mind. I've been gathering pennies over the last couple of years and I never knew what to do with them. Well, now I DO!

If you're like me and you 1) LOVE anything shiny and 2) you're a big packrat and 3) need something to do with your stuff, here goes!

I'm planning to do this, and I'll post a pic later. Credit goes to the people with the link from above :)
