Wednesday, I mused on the ethics of cutting up cute stuffed animals to make new things (I don’t think anyone minds if I cut up the ugly ones. Teletubbies beware!)
Well, I sacrificed a toy dog and a stuffed bald eagle to make five bear ear headbands like the one you see above.
These are pretty simple. […]
I saw some very different Christmas stockings at the All Things in the West blog with it’s post called: Ho Ho Ho socks! (The picture featured above is from the blog post as well.)
Annie W. describes her stockings best, I think:
I made these today for the kids stockings! They turned out fun I think…=) They are made from an […]
Those of you who read my blog often (thanks to all 4 of you) know that I often shop at thrift stores for the materials they offer, an not always for the items themselves. My question today stems from a recent trip to the thrift store for “fur” material–I needed a fur-like material for some bear ear […]
Collages are certainly made from things that some would call junk. They range from the magazine cut-outs of elementary school, to modern and trendy artwork. I thought I’d feature a collage that features some of the junk creations I’ve had up on this blog over the past few months.
Regardless of what makes them up, I’ve […]
I always admired the people in high school that could make rings out of money–and not just because they had the spare cash to change into jewelry.
So, today, I decided to feature a junk-made version of the same sort of ring (very easy to make, actually) only made out of an old Wal-Mart receipt. (That […]
This week I saw that we were down to around 0 degrees (that’s zero) Fahrenheit, so I thought some junk warm-up tips from a post titled COLD WEATHER TIPS-II from the LINK9 blog.
Here are a couple of warm-up ideas:
Make a loose fitting bag from an old blanket or carpet padding to put both feet in when […]
As I mentioned on Monday (part 1 of this post), I attempted to make a false middle book out of an old English anthology I didn’t need anymore.
I used the past tense because I decided that my original idea wasn’t going to work. I know I normally don’t put up projects that don’t work, but […]
My wife suggested (and I think it was a great one) that I give you all a recipe for all of those leftovers you may or may not have from Thanksgiving dinner. (I suppose that many of you didn’t celebrate Thanksgiving today, but play along, if you like.)
Below is a recipe I copied wholesale from […]
This week’s Deep Thought is about gravy.
Really, who would have thought that animal fat and flour could taste as good as it does? I blame those darn Junk Creators! Instead of tossing out the fat (I know, they could have given it to their junk cousins the candle makers–lets not get nit-picky about details) they […]
I thought that we’d get a little summer into today’s post–especially since it snowed outside my home today. So, when the snow melts and the sun actually gets warm again, try making this idea from www.instructables.com and a post titled: Tennis Ball Squirtgun (the picture and original post were authored by -insertnamehere-).
Basically, -insertnamehere- cuts/punches a small […]
