How to Make an Inexpensive Light Tent

I have always wondered how some people get such great pictures of items. I found these instructions for making a light tent. I may just have to give this a shot!

Re-cycled sweaters

Did mention my interest in making things from old wool sweaters? I like what this lady did with her old sweater. It's very pretty. She has a couple more pictures showing additional hats and a picture of her pattern. She references this lady's site also.

Modular Bookshelf

Some people are just sooo creative! Take a look at what this gal did with these old drawers.I saw this 'after' picture first and then saw the drawers second and had to do a double take! Wow! Had NO idea that they weren't a set of shelves made of boxes or something similar.

If I'd known you were coming I would have stitched a cake!

Felt Food! I've been interested in Felt lately for some odd reason and this one caught my eye. I never would have thought of felt food for kids and this is definitely food for thought (pun intended!). With 5 grand-daughters so far, this might come in handy! Way cute!

Eazy Fizzy Bath Bombs

Now this is the BOMB! (Bad I know!) But really, this looks like fun and it does look like a quick and easy gift. Plus did I say that I know I will feel like a real Chemist doing this??

Flowers anyone?

I saw these cute fabric flowers and at first thought they were cute but decided I probably wouldn't make them. But then later that night I could see all kinds of potential!.......baby hairbands, girls camp craft. So I came back and found them before I lost them! (You know that's why I started this so I wouldn't loose things again!) The tutorial for making these are here.

Here is another idea using silk flowers and buttons with the fabric.

She has a very cute etsy shop which include these cute items also:
