    I am going DIY crazy. Not all wedding related.

     

    We have ZERO spare money not going to the honeymoon or car payments, etc, so I have been going DIY crazy.

     

    I have spent $0 on all this--it's all stuff I had (of course, it cost money in the first place).

     

    We have these Q-tips in a dumb box that I keep almost dumping into the toilet, so I cut up a powerade bottle and made a Q-tip holder. At first it didn't have the grommets in the back with the tie, but i realized if I dropped the lid in the toilet--well i hadn't solved the problem!

    My necklaces are getting all tangled--no jewelry box, so I made a necklace tree with 20gauge wire, a piece of a broken plastic hanger, floral tape, and cardboard. I have mod podge and want to decoupage the base so it looks less ... dumb.

    I am going hanger crazy. I LOVE everyone's hangers, so here's my

    "attempt #1" with 20 guage wire (i just stuck it on a plastic hanger for show) but it's too flimsy, so

    "attempt #2" is made out of 3 (yes 3) wire hangers. Then I drilled a clear plastic hanger and painted the wire with acrylic with glitter. However, I will hopefull find some money on the ground and buy a wooden hanger :)

    @Usuki:Thanks. :) LOL that was my and my SO's idea. I made the tree and it was great, and then I put the necklaces on had some structural... er... failure. So I had to reinforce it, and I was sitting in his room and he had a broken hanger right there, so I just added it in!

    I love the tree. Such a clever idea. I would love to see a picture of the finished decoupaged project.

    I agree - the necklace tree is awesome, and dammit - I'm stealing it! LOL  I have necklaces hanging from my side table and are all tangled.  I'm going to break down some hangers if i have to and I'll use my floral tape.  I'm a DIY freak about everything so I feel you!! they look awesome!
