Here is another peek at my craft room overhaul. I wanted to be able to see all of my buttons in a way that was cute and vertical, since horizontal space is quite the commodity. I thought of a tiered cake stand, and decided to hit the dollar store for supplies to make my own.

Tie dye has come a long way in simplicity and technique over the years. Until this project, I hadn’t played with tie dye since childhood, and I remember it being a huge mess. Wasn’t there something about boiling water, and dying in the washer? Isn’t that only for t-shirts? That is why I was a
