Upcycling DIY home decor, woodworking and Crafts
I love the time of year when I can get busy outside with bigger projects that require cutting wood and good ventilation. That brings me to DIY headboards. There are some amazing creations out there using everything from barn doors to framed photos and salvage items galore. Get creative and make a masterpiece headboard to fit your style, without breaking the bank!

FEATURES:
Artsy Vava created upcycled pickle jars and I am crushing big. This belongs in 50+ Mason Jar Crafts – I don’t care that it is a pickle jar!
I am loving on this quote wall art DIY at the Bold Abode. Go on over for the full
step by step.
As far as craft book and magazine organizing goes, it doesn’t get much more frugal than free. For this organizers, I simply collected boxes on various trips to local hardware stores. They gladly gave me them for free. If you don’t see empty boxes while browsing the aisles, simply ask an associate.
Here are what mine looked like before spray painting them…
I used Krylon Dual in white and coated each box. Then I added adhesive scallop border to the upper row. Eventually I plan to make some cute labels. I love how it came out. Now I can see all of my inspiring books and publications without digging through piles of randomness!
Today’s Dr. Oz show was packed full of simple, doable ways to propel the body’s metabolism into high gear. Turning 35 soon, I was all ears. I have noticed I can’t get away with as much midnight ice cream as I use to enjoy, and that is just not o.k. Three ways to easily increase body’s ability to burn fat caught my ear, and that is what I am sharing with you today. Every little bit helps, right?!
This is packed with powerful antioxidants to blast belly fat and rich in metabolism-boosters vitamin C and limonene.
This bubbly tea is available at natural food stores and contains oolong tea which helps protect your liver so it can concentrate on metabolizing fat
The wine helps you relax and boosts metabolism for up to 95 minutes. Adding ice chips to your red wine makes your body to burn extra calories since it takes energy to warm the drink to body temperature. The mint’s scent has been shown to stave off late-night hunger.
I have been loving felt ever since putting together 60+ felt projects. Here are a couple of coin purses made from old sweaters, with Sizzix cut wool shapes needle punched for embellishment.
These projects are super easy, and what better way to use old sweaters? I have scoured tons of garage sales lately and found some great wool sweaters for next to nothing. All I did was cut the shapes I wanted with sizzix and poke my needle felting tool over and over until the fibers mixed and the shapes were connect to the purse. EASY.
I was inspired while doing my 60+ Projects to Make With Felt post. Check it out for tons more ideas. You will be amazed!
Yeah, so today’s tie dye from Tulip is super easy and mess free. However, if you have a nosy beagle, make sure you keep the trash from your project out of his reach. I had a super fun day of tie dye creating, which you will see in a future post. I woke up this morning and put the pieces together.
Any guesses on how long it will be before he is no longer teal?
This week’s 50+ is all about paper jewelry. It is amazing what you can do with some paper and creativity. These projects are fantastic for Mother’s Day gifts, or any occasion where custom handmade jewelry is in order. Enjoy!
There are so many amazing projects from you all, it is hard to pick just a few to feature. I love it!

Nicole at Shabby Beach Nest made this brilliant “I’m Bored” jar, free printables and all. I love it!!
This Martha Stewart Mother’s Day project by AKA Designs is fantastic, don’t you think? I want it.
At I Should Be Mopping the Floor, learn to make this cute pencil vase, and fill it with flowers for a sweet Mother’s Day gift!
I was asked to make wall art incorporating the name Morris, and I remembered a photo letter art project from around Christmas time by Shanty 2 Chic. Here is my version, inspired by the lovely tutorial from Whitney! I made it using a piece of hardboard left over from another project, 6 Dollar Tree frames, some spray paint, E6000, 2 washers and a rope for the hanging mechanism. The photo letters are available for free on Flickr (thanks Whitney).
To finish, I drilled 2 holes on top, glued washers over them and ran canvas rope through for the hanging mechanism. I am digging the industrial look of the final piece. This is the first time I have ever used the Krylon Stainless Steel spray paint… love it.
