Hi, I have a bunch of gold almost plastic-y fabric lying around that I don't know what to do with. Any suggestions? I LOVED the camera messenger bag but I feel like it would look stupid with gold fabric instead of silver. But do you have any similar ideas? So far, I know I'm...

As the title says I'm broke and I really don't like Valentine's day, but I still want to get my boyfriend something. Well, I should say make. I just want a little something that is really cute. Also, I can't knit, so something to do with sewing would be nice. Any advice is...

So I noticed that "tube crin" is in the list of items for projects. This happens to be what's in my hair. This leads me to believe there's probably somewhere cheaper to get it than the $13 or so for 10 yards that we've been paying from the place that sells it specifically for...

Digging through an old 1940's scrapbook I purchased at an estate sale. Among the postcards and greeting cards, I found several pages and well-preserved dried flowers still sealed in wax paper. Any suggestions what to do with them? The only one i have opened looked very nice!

Okay, so, I have a boyfriend, like many girls my age. But, here's the kicker, when Christmas comes along, we would have only been going out 21 days. I was thinking about making him a small, plush football, because he loves football, but, I don't know how to start that. What...

How about some sort of woven basket? they're handy and don't need to look "cheap". Or a shopping bag from former juice containers or coffee bags, I've seen them pretty expensive in stores.

My boyfriend is in need of a new wallet so I thought I'd buy him a nice one for Christmas. The problem is he's 28 and refuses to use any wallet that isn't Nightmare Before Christmas and the NBC wallets at Spencers and Hot Topic are pretty blah! So I thought I'd buy a leather...
