Bleach T-shirt DIY

I made this peach heart t-shirt a couple of years ago. I remember wearing it at school (I'm a teacher) for Valentine's Day and no one commented on it. I asked a couple of my friends finally if they liked the shirt I made and they were floored. They just assumed that I had bought the shirt that way. They had no idea that I had made it myself.

The funny thing is that I made it from an old shirt. I was bored one day and wanting a project without having to leave the house to buy supplies. I looked in my closet and found the plain peach t-shirt that I hardly ever wore and decided the do something to it. I was so pleased with the results.

I just made a navy blue shirt in time for Independence Day and I video taped the instructions so you can all watch.

Go look in you closet. Do you have a plain shirt? I'm sure you have some contact paper and bleach somewhere in your house. Don't procrastinate! Make something today!

Buy 2 toothbrushes and each will last twice as long, same with the deodorant. Yuck! Anyway, there was this lady only wanting to spend $50 on her 10 year old son's birthday. Since I'm always looking for inexpensive ways to celebrate, I kept watching. What?!?! She had his birthday party at a retirement home for $30?!?! What about having it at your house or the park for free, hello people? Instead of the Elvis entertainer (who I'

DIY Jewelry Organization

I love my jewelry and use it as art on my wall. It helps me to remember what I have and makes getting dressed easier and quicker. Here is how I organize and hold my Earrings, Necklaces, and Brooches. Earring Holder A few years ago, while visiting my sister, I noticed her earring holder. She said she bought it from "a girl who make them." A few months later, I was needing birthday gifts for some girlfriends so I tried to remember what I saw at my sister's house and re-created it. Supplies: window screening from the hardware store - it comes in big rolls but you only need a little dowel rod 4 wooden dowel rod balls ribbon hot glue paint First, cut your dowel rod into 2 12 inch pieces, then take your dowel rods and balls and paint them whatever color you like. I spray painted mine silver. Then you need to cut your screening (use big scissors) to 12 inches by 18 inches. On the 12 inch side, fold down about 1 inch and glue down with the hot glue. Do th
