I had a bug in my bonnet (I’m not so sure if it was a bee) the other day to do something with plastic bags–so I found a couple of sites that got me off and running.
The first was a site that told me how to make “yarn” from plastic grocery bags. It isn’t […]
This men’s bracelet is made from rubber disks and ornament hanging wire. (It’s also available to purchase at my online store.)
The pattern here is pretty simple to make. I used an old rubber hose I found on the ground. (Yes, I cleaned it first!!!)
I took my leatherman to it and made 9 disks by cutting […]
Today’s post is mostly a tip or two about when the best times for dumpster diving seem to be:
After the snow melts–This is more of an observation about how snow plows can do your collecting for you. All winter, the plows push snow into huge (well, sometimes, depending on the climate in your area) piles. […]
The thought has come to me recently (moments ago, actually), “Did Junk Creators invent dumpsters?”
My answer has got to be “No.” Some of you may be surprised about this, considering I have posted before about the fun and profit (some probably have more fun and/or profit than others in a dumpster) of dumpster diving. I […]
This post came from a Phil Collins fan blog post titled: Be all ironic with Contexture’s 45 cassette-tape Nano case.
The reason this was featured on the Phil Collins fan blog was that the particular Nano case was made from a Phil Collins cassette tape. I believe the company that offers these for sale has multiple artists’ […]
Finally!!! This is the last post in the longer-than-expected instruction set for putting a new cover on an old book.
I hope you can see the above pictures–the finished product turned out much differently than I had planned, but I think it looks better (in some ways) than I had planned!
Before we finish the long awaited […]
Just a reminder–Today, Saturday is Friday. (I explained what I mean Thursday of last week.)
Today, I’ll show you how to make the leather cover for your book. It looks like I will have 4 parts to this instructional set, after all. Next time we should be able to glue the cover onto the press-board/paperback book we […]
Just a reminder–Today, Friday is Thursday. (I explained what I mean yesterday.)
Today is a list–one close to my heart–of my top 5 favorite projects (that I made myself) posted so far!
Rubber Covered Journal–With Belt! This one is up because I was so pleased with how it turned out!
Scrap Leather Beads This one has such potential […]
The posts for the rest of this week will be skewed a bit. There are several reasons for this change: 1) Tomorrow’s post is a group sort of post related to b5media and we are all doing list posts, which fit better with a “grab bag” post than with a “how-to” post, 2) I have […]
Today, I’d like to jump back to an old theme and talk about great Junk Creators.
As I understand it, pillows have been stuffed with such soft things as feathers (Junk Creators must have gathered them from domesticated birds. Wouldn’t it be interesting if, originally, pillows made from wild feathers were more in-style and/or expensive?) The […]
