DIY Desk

I was just inspired to build my own desk (and scour Craigslist) because of this post. :)

DIY Party Blowers

When you have that perfect party theme & decor, just any old party blowers will never do! So, make them yourself! :)

Monogrammed Hand Sanitizer

I think that I may have just found (at least part) of the kids teacher gifts this year.
AND, even if you dont think of yourself as uber crafty... Im pretty sure that you will be able to handle this one. :) These will also make great hostess gifts or gifts for co-workers.

DIY Chalkboard Paint

Who needs regular old black or green chalkboard paint when you can have ANY color you can think of?!

Well, naturally, Martha has a way to make even pink chalkboard paint possible.....

$10 Pottery Barn (Knockoff) Ledges

Well, what could be better than getting the Pottery Barn look for your home at a fraction of the cost? I'm thinking that there is just about nothing that could be better :)

The Knockoff

The real deal

While the Pottery Barn ledges are quite a bit deeper.... I think that the price for these knockoffs more than makes up for it. By creating the Knockoffs, you will be saving about 110%..... can't beat it, right?! Didn't think so. 

I would have to go to the store and do some figuring (yes, I am a visual person... I would need to stand in the lumber aisle to figure this out), but I am pretty sure that you would be able to make these deeper than the instructions say.

DIY Adjustable Waistband

As soon as I saw this I had to share it with all of you.

My friend Angel and I have been talking a lot lately about adjustable waists on kids clothes and how wonderful they are... when you can find the cute clothes that actually have them... and usually the very inexpensive clothes tend to not have them. So here is your remedy.. make your own. 
You will need a sewing machine for this one... or a LOT of patience to hand sew button holes. :)
