I’ve been meaning to make a dollar store phone charging station for awhile now. I was going to design a project that looked more like this, but when I found an endcap of metal desk organizers at the dollar store, I knew they would work for different kind of docking station. You can make this station slash organizer for less than five dollars, and it will take you about an …

So does anyone else out there do seasonal craft projects and then practically forget to post about them until it’s too late? No? Guess I’m the only one. Here’s a quick and simple favor for St. Patrick’s Day, using stuff from the dollar store. You can make one of these for less than fifty cents. I made this with the little metal buckets from the wedding aisle at Dollar Tree, …

I love my scarves, but it can be hard to find just the right one when they’re wadded up on a shelf. Enter the scarf organizing hanger, which provides space for at least a dozen scarves so you always know where to find your favorite accessory. Not a scarf-wearer? You can also use this organizer for belts or ties. This is an easy project that will take you about twenty …

Morning, everyone!  Your very own crazy crafter, Jess from Mad in Crafts, here.
Are you cheap?  I am.  I have a little panic attack anytime I see a price tag in the triple digits.   Do you like pretty things?  I do.  When my house is clean and decorated, sometime I just sit and look around at it all.  Partly because I know it will be many moons until it’s actually clean …

I invited one of my favorite crafty artists, Christine from Jane Avion (remember her fabulous feather tree?), to create a tutorial for you, and she came up with this adorable oven mitt owl. Whooo doesn’t love owls? (ba-dum-dum!) Go visit Jane Avion for more great projects like these pretty moth closet sachets, dollar store bling necklaces, and luggage tags.

I’ve seen this yarn-filled glass bulb project around, but I can’t remember where I saw it a couple years ago. I was so inspired by that post author (whoever you are!) that at the time, I got three boxes of these glass ornaments with which to make this craft. I was kidding myself because I was 9 months pregnant, it was Christmas time, and we were moving on December 26th… …

This is Amy from Mod Podge Rocks, and I love my dogs.  In addition to loving my dogs, I love glitter, picture frames, and, of course, Mod Podge!  I decided to combine all these things together and show you a last minute gift idea if you’re currently seeking something speedy to throw together.  This took me less than an hour before I had a finished product.  Now someone I love will receive a delightful …

Here we are, just mere days before Christmas. You have your gifts wrapped, your dinner planned, your stockings ready to be filled. But, oops! You forgot to put together something …

A monogrammed drawstring loot bag is the perfect gift for anybody who’s expecting to get a lot of schwag for the holidays (or just to keep all those little stocking stuffers together in one place). Last year, I made eight of these for my family members in less than two hours for all of them, the day before Christmas – that’s fifteen minutes per bag. Assembly-line them if you’re making …

Reader Amy of Gabriel’s Good Tidings makes these cool gift card wreaths out of zero-balance cards. She collected a bunch of used Starbucks cards and made a colorful and festive wreath (that her local Starbucks is now displaying!) There are all kinds of other cards in your life you could use for this project: Metro Cards, or business cards could make a cool office display. I don’t think I have …
