Creep out your friends with a pair of felted Eyeball Earrings from Knit Knit.

WTF Zup have posted 25 amazing everyday do-it-yourself inventions which are very very clever.

Our favourite invention is the chopstick helper, where they've taken the wire clasp from a peg and attached it to a pair of chopsticks. Perfect for kids or newbie noodle eaters.

Glinda has added an excellent how-to for making a Button Necklace to Cut Out + Keep.

She was the first member, who wasn't me, to post a project and, luckily, she didn't find too many bugs or problems with the adder.

We want to make it perfect before we launch it properly, so if you have a project, with step-by-step photos, that you would like to add to the site, send me a message.

Thanks so much to Jess on How about orange.. for pointing out this fabulous Hollywood Hair Makeover from Instyle. Upload a photo of yourself and then try out different celebrities' hair to see which one you suit, it's quite addictive.

Tired of the people you live with not pulling their weight?

Chore Buster is a website that allows you to type in all the chores that need to be done in your house and the people who should be doing them. It will then create a weekly chart, stating what chores need to be done, by which people on what day. It will even e-mail out a list of weekly or daily chores to each person. It's time to make things fair again!

I think Barbie would just die for this Heart Shaped Sink. It would look so pretty in a pink bathroom, with some heart shaped soaps and sponges. What do you guys think? (Via Tendir.)

The Skull Toaster has to make the punkiest breakfast around.

Not only does it look great, but it burns skulls in to the bread. Rocking!

We had readers post photos of their outfits in the Fashion Issue of Snippets, but there's a whole community where fashionistas can show off their wardrobes. StyleMob allows you to browse through the members photos, rate their fashion sense and post your own photos. It's a great place to pick up fashion tips and find inspiration.

(Thanks to Roma for pointing this out on the board.)

I've had so much fun running Cut Out + Keep over the last 3 years, adding projects and writing my craft blog. It's amazing how much it's grown and I've been so lucky to have had it all to myself.

From now on, Cut Out + Keep is going to be all about you. Within the next couple of weeks, we are going to launch the Project Adder, which will allow you to post your own creations, with photos and step by step instructions. However, before we can launch it properly, we need to get some willing volunteers to test it out. So, if you have a how-to project, with step by step instructions and photos, that you would like to add to the site, send us a message or an e-mail and we'll get you all set up.

Time to get crafty people!
