Drawers are such a challenge, aren’t they?  They’re great for holding all of those little odds and ends that would otherwise get lost around the house, but if your drawers are in disarray, items can still be just as difficult to find.  Over at the DSC Facebook Fan Page, reader Leslie asks:
Does anyone have any cheap/easy ways to organize dresser drawers? My drawers aren’t very …

Kid art is so precious, but sometimes it is hard to incorporate it into your decor. In a genius move, Jess from Mad in Crafts figured out how to make fingerpainting mod and modern-style song lyric wall art meaningful. And she made it dollar store crafty by using stuff she got at the dollar store to make it! Booya! I love the concept of this …

When it comes to handmade gifts, finding good crafts for boys can be tough.  There are a zillion cute little girl tutorials, but somehow the poor little boys get left out of the fun.  One sure-fire hit is always the classic toy car road, a place for the Matchbox collection to whiz back and forth.  Most kits of road sections, however, take up a lot …

With some recycled materials and fabric scraps (and a dollar store plate), you can make a charming and rustic Christmas tree this year! Over at A Little Tipsy, Michelle created a craft after my cheapskate little heart. I love the creativity of mounting the tree on an overturned plate, and using things from the recycling bin to make a fun little decoration. [how to make …

Sometimes it seems like I like to buy craft supplies even more than crafting with them. Anyone else out there do that?

This week, I present to you a …

We have a few boxes of ornaments we’ve collected over the years, and they don’t match but when you put them together they become a cozy collection of …

You know the scene: you’re loafing around in bed, catching up on your morning talk show TV, when something on the screen gets your attention.  I mean really gets your attention, enough to get you out of bed so that you can take a closer look.  The other day that happened to Kristen from Glitter ‘N Glue.  While she was watching GMA, Lara Spencer’s necklace …

Silkscreen printing is something that has long been on my crafty bucket list.  I’ve wanted to try is for as long as I’ve known what it was!  So when I was offered the chance to try out Plaid’s new DIY Simply Screen kit, of course I jumped at the opportunity.  Then there was the question of what to make with it.  I love the idea …

There are about a zillion ways you can decorate clear glass bulbs, but this one might be my favorite!  Inspired by the water marbling technique used on fingernails, Rena from The Cheese Thief used red and white nail polish to create a candy cane effect.  I love the idea of masking off a monogram or other shape on the ornament before dipping it to create …

You already know that I’m nutty about itty-bitty things.  (Exhibit A; exhibit B; exhibit C.)  So as you can imagine, I was absolutely delighted when I received a copy of Microcrafts: Tiny Treasures to Make and Share, a book complied by Margaret McGuire, Alicia Kachmar, Katie Hatz, and their talented friends.  It is a collection of 25 tutorials, all for teeny little things.
