DIY T-shirt infinity scarf

So simple and so cute!

All you have to do is cut any adult/juniors sized t-shirt.
Start with cutting off the bottom seam and then a straight line just below the arm holes.




Give it a little tug to make your cut not so noticable.

 
And walah! You now have yourself a new infinity scarf. Simle as that!

DIY Under Kitchen sink spruce up

After seeing this post on pinterest I knew this was an easy project for me that I had to do. Since we were putting in a new sink this weekend I thought what better time to do this being with the sink out I had more room to work. So I headed to Menards and they had basic peel and stiles for $0.49 each making my project a whopping $3.00, score!!


The before: A little scary!



And After: Much better! I am very pleased with the results, even though I am probably the only one who will enjoy seeing it, meh oh well at least I like it then! :)

Baby Boy Bowtie

Scrambling to find something quick for our Easter pics I turned to Pinterest and found a tutorial here for this cute bowtie. Using leftover fabric from a previous project. Super easy and cheap considering all you need is a 5x5 piece of fabric and was able to finish the whole thing during naptime. Here is the finished bowtie!
 
Can't wait to see my little man all dressed up for Easter pics :)

ETA: Look how precious he looks with his bowtie :)

Hot curling iron holder

Using pot holders found at the dollar store I sewed along the side and the top to make a pocket. Since my pot holder was kinda dull I also sewed a strip of ribbon to give it a little extra sprucing up.
 
So perfect to be able to put away when it's still hot and get off the counter.
 
Such a simple project after purchasing a quilting needle this took about 5 minutes. What do you think, will you make one?

Metal Cardboard letters

Pinterest approved. I'm cheap, did you notice that yet?!

>I took an old box and cut out my own letters for our kitchen "YUM" after cutting them out
>I made a design using elmers glue, which did not make the design raised up enough so I went over the same design with hot glue, much better!
>Then I folded tin foil over each letter, and
>finished it with Oil rubbed bronze spray paint. Love how the silver in the tin foil popped out.

 I didn't pay a dime for this project, because I already had tin foil and spray paint on hand.
 
I could have made them thicker but I wanted to hang them without having to use nails or anything that could/would damage the walls, so I hung them with 3M tacky compound. 
Sorry for the blurry pictures.
