Beat the Heat with an Easy to Make Fan

Beat the Heat with an Easy to Make Fan

Here’s a fun, easy gift idea that even toddlers can make. Mom, Dad, or Grandparents will love having something made by their little one. And it’s perfect for hot weather. Older kids can get in on the act, too, and create their own masterpiece. Materials Small Cutting Board with Handle (I found mine at Dollar Tree) Sticker Book or Sheet Full … [Read more...] about Beat the Heat with an Easy to Make Fan

Duct Tape Checkbook Cover

By Noreen 12 Comments

Duct Tape Checkbook Cover

By Noreen Doll. A duct tape checkbook cover is easy to make, especially if you use your old checkbook cover for a pattern. Most of the checkbook covers you get (for free) are made of plastic and don't last very well. So I decided to make one for myself using duct tape, which is very durable. Since it isn't any more difficult to enclose aluminum foil in the … [Read more...] about Duct Tape Checkbook Cover

One Sheet Folded Gift Pocket Book

One Sheet Folded Gift Pocket Book

By Noreen Doll. This folded pocket book is so much fun to make that I had to find ways to use them so I can make more! One way to use it is to make it a one sheet folded gift pocket book, which has 8 pockets. To use the book one can put folded money or gift cards in some of the pockets and messages in the other pockets. For instance, one could put folded … [Read more...] about One Sheet Folded Gift Pocket Book

Aluminum Security Credit Card Holder Tutorial

Aluminum Security Credit Card Holder Tutorial

By Noreen Doll. From what I've read, hackers can now use a hand held device to read your personal information on your credit cards even while the cards are tucked away in your wallet. I've also been seeing aluminum wallets for carrying credit cards, to thwart the ability to read the personal information on them. Being a crafter, I wanted to create my own … [Read more...] about Aluminum Security Credit Card Holder Tutorial

The Best Back Scratcher I’ve Ever Had!

The Best Back Scratcher I’ve Ever Had!

By Noreen Doll. The best back scratcher I've ever had is a metal pasta spoon. I've mostly lived in a dry climate, and when we run the heater in the house during the winter my skin dries out even more. As a consequence, my back would often itch. It's very difficult to reach your entire back with your fingers, and the itch always seems to be just out of reach of … [Read more...] about The Best Back Scratcher I’ve Ever Had!

Jeans iPad Carrier

Jeans iPad Carrier

By Noreen Doll. I created a fun jeans iPad carrier from an old pair of jeans. It was quick and easy. I made the carrier a few inches longer than the iPad so the top would fold over. By folding the top over several inches, there is no need to add a fastener. There is room inside to carry a few other small items, as well. I wanted it large enough in case I might … [Read more...] about Jeans iPad Carrier

Decoupage Tile Coasters

Decoupage Tile Coasters

By Noreen Doll. Decoupage tile coasters are fun to create, and they make great gifts. I made about 10 sets of these for family members and friends and I tried to reflect their interests in the sets I created for them. I used napkins, wall paper samples, and designer scrap booking paper, and all of them turned out really well. Fabric can also be used. You can use a … [Read more...] about Decoupage Tile Coasters

Stamped Tile Coasters

Stamped Tile Coasters

By Noreen Doll. I love the country look of these stamped tile coasters. When I bought this country stamp set from Rubbernecker Stamps, I couldn't wait to use them. And they were so quick and easy to make, as well as inexpensive. They make a lovely gift for almost anyone. When I made this set for a gift, I liked it so much I ended up making another set for … [Read more...] about Stamped Tile Coasters

Camo Wrapping Paper

Camo Wrapping Paper

By Noreen Doll. Here's an easy way to make your own camo wrapping paper - and recycle as well. Save the crumpled brown paper that is packed in boxes you've had shipped to you. Use green and black paints to create camouflage wrapping paper. Notice that you can barely see the twine bow. That's because it is camouflaged, which makes it perfect for this wrap! What … [Read more...] about Camo Wrapping Paper

Military Themed Catch-All

By Noreen 5 Comments

Military Themed Catch-All

by Noreen Doll. A military themed catch-all is a great gift idea for a guy. A teenaged boy I know needed something to empty his pockets into, and to hold other items he used on a regular basis. Because he has a strong interest in all things military, I decided to create a military themed catch-all for him. He had several military catalogs and magazines that … [Read more...] about Military Themed Catch-All

Photo Gift Ideas

Photo Gift Ideas

Photo gift ideas are the nicest gifts to give. Everyone loves photographs, and almost anything you do with a photo makes a good gift. Photos can be used in ways that are useful, such as on coasters or magnets, or they can be used for display in fun photo holders or on holiday ornaments. You can even use photos to make your own books or recipe albums. A child's book … [Read more...] about Photo Gift Ideas

Photo Tile Magnet

Photo Tile Magnet

By Noreen Doll. An old family photo tile magnet is easy to make and a great gift idea! A few years ago I attended a family reunion with a large group of relatives I had not previously known. It happened that I had a photo of our common ancestor that no one else had, or was even aware existed. I wanted to take some small gift to each family as a remembrance of the … [Read more...] about Photo Tile Magnet
