Cut out a stencil of anything (birds, silouette, tractors, cars, numbers, letters, stripes, artsy design, etc.), tape it on a shirt, spray around it with bleach, take off the stencil and you have a beautiful new fancy t-shirt.

Can't Get Enough of Washer Necklaces

I've finally made some washer necklaces myself and it is so fun! Look at this variation by Crafting Chicks. They metal stamped the back, added a bead in the middle and used wire for the "string." Way too cute!!! These washers were made by Adventures in Crafting. I like how she used what looks like some ink to distress the sides. It gives them more of a vintage, shabby feel. New techniques to try next time I make some!!!

Notebook Purse

This is Simply Cute!!! Alter a notebook into a purse-type looking carrier. Take notes in style at a convention, school, church or wherever you may be going.

Amazing!!!

Spray Paint Live Flowers & Plants

At least once a week, I ask myself, "Why didn't I think of that?" Here is one of those brilliant ideas! Everybody seems to be spray painting furniture and other accessories these days. Why not spray paint live flowers and plants growing in your yard? That's right, when perennials or other blossoms go brown, spray paint a beautiful color that will stay until you cut them down.

Or decorate a table by placing other treasures on top of it. This idea was found at Creative Jewish Mom. (Unfortunately, the link doesn't go straight to this post for Aug 12, 2009.)
