I was given some bottles of seltzer and I do like the bottles. Their pretty glass, well bottles. And I've got no clue what to do with them. Any ideas?

i have access to at least two of these a week. there has to be something that can be done with them other than cleaning them out, and using them for rice, flour, cookies. i can even get sugar one that is yellow once a week (the guys tend to drink alot of coffee here) i have to...

I had this idea before, but the transfers I attempted it with were awful. However, I'm interested in trying again, and found on google, someone who was successful with the iron on transfers. In my experience, when i stretched the fabric, they pretty much ripped apart and...

I need something that I can give to people I'm not super-good friends with, work colleagues etc. It'd be nice if it was something I made but it doesn't have to be. I guess my best idea right now is some nicely packaged cookies, but something a little better would be good...

I'm looking for a pattern for a diaper bag. I definatly want to make my own, but all the patterns I find are way too plain. I can make a tote, no problem, but I want a pattern that looks professional. If anyone out there knows where to find one that would be great! Thanks Tara...

Okay, nightmare time. As usual, I waited till the last minute to make my plastic bag dress, and it hasn't worked, so I need something to wear! I don't have loads of money so can't buy a costume, and have very limited time. Any help, PLEASE. Edit: Cut Out and Keep saved me...

So, I got this bag from my old great aunt, and it's begging me to do something with it. The pink handles are outrageously cute, but the floral print is just..ick. Anyone have any ideas how to make it more..snazzy? [IMG]http://i34.tinypic.com/egr4nr.jpg[/IMG]

I want to be a jill a lope (jack a lope) for halloween. I'm trying to figure out how I should go about this. Paper mache seems too messy and a possible disaster. I'm open to it though. I was thinking I should buy rabbit ears and make the antlers to attach or should I buy a...

Hello Friends, I need to make some fairy wings for my Halloween costume and I am having trouble getting started. I bought some 16 gauge galvanized wire for the frame (I would like BIG wings) and the wire will not stay upright. I have since purchased a heavier gage wire and...

Okay, So, this is probably the weirdest request ever, BUT.. I was wondering if anyone out there would be willing to make a plush of Walt Disney the person for me. I just admire him a lot and the idea just popped in my head that that would be insanely cute. I'm low on cash but...

where do you gather your inspiration? I love looking up blogs, old magazines, design books and mother nature. But sometimes you hit a roadblock and are at a lost to what you can craft next. Ideas people, IDEAS. What can I do next?

My daughter will be 2 in November(20th). I have no clue what type of theme I want to go with this year. She isnt into cartoons or have a particular toy she favors more. This is what I did last year. I did a Monkey theme with the colors pink and brown. I also made some Ears out...

Ok, so. I've got a grand idea for an halloween costume, but I need some help finalising the deets... See I had to think of a costume idea for two (me and my tom, because we're a couple right, so we do things together) and it seems only fitting that we go as a blackjack and a...
