DIY: Pinterest Inspired

I mentioned once *here* how I had a small goal to create each project I pinned to my "Next on the Project List" board on Pinterest. Well here's the start of it-- plus a few foodies I pinned and tried. Make sure to click on the title of each project for a link to the tutorial or original inspiration!!

{p.s. Did I mention that every one of these projects so far has been made out of things we already had laying around the house not being used?! except for the crayons cause I bought a new box of them. but they were only .40!! haha}

The first {which I've already blogged about *here*} is the Tie necklace

Peppermint Patties

{yes this photo is from last winter but I totally made these just a few weeks ago cause we love 'em;) I just forgot to photograph them this time around;)}

The Resist Dye Tee
I have no idea what the design on this t-shirt is supposed to be! I just started squeezing glue and this is how it ended up;) This tutorial was awesome though and very simple. An great way to get some extra use out of those stained white tees or tanks you have shoved into the back of your drawer!

Photo Frame Dry Erase Board
I wanted to try out this idea but didn't really need one for myself... it just so happened that we were having a mini-Mary Kay party that night and I had the perfect paper! So I threw this together as a thank-you to the consultant.

Parmesan Tomatoes

Forgot to photograph these yummies as well {photo via eatingwell} but definitely made and ate them. so good. so simple.

Melted Crayon Art
Just another one of those things that looked super fun {who can resist those colors?!} and only cost .40 so I just had to try it! Abigail helped me with this and it really *was* fun! We decided to go for more of a blended and blown look with ours.

envelopes made from: doilies, maps, brown.paper.bags, {and have yet to find the right book pages which would be available for my creative use;)}
I found & used THIS template which makes 5.5"x4" envelopes

 I only had rectangle doilies avail to me so I used the template-- but I can't wait to use round doilies sometime. much simpler!

 None other than an old map of Tennessee we had laying around:) Would love to try this with vintage or world maps.

Who knew Ruche would have such fabulous brown bags... which would in turn make fabulous envelopes?!!!

and nothing like a little Starbucks bag repurposing:)

Yarn Braid

Analiese let me try this fun idea on her hair and she absolutely *loved* it!!

Okay. That's it for now:D

What are some small {or large} projects you've done recently?!!
