When I found fifteen square stepping stones buried beneath the soil froma checkerboard garden project of mine from years ago, it reminded me of
the wonderful creative things I used to do when I worked at home. The gardens were
beautiful, things were in bloom, and weeds were in short supply.
While strolling through a second-hand store, I happened upon a vinyl doily
for a mere fifty cents. Meh, I thought. Went home, plopped it on the dining
room table and sort of forgot about it. A few mornings later, hubby and I were
having coffee at the table. Where I sat, I could see where the plain stepping
stones were. My gaze shifted to the doily, then to hubby, and then...
a Eureka moment arrived!
Put on your work duds and let's make something nice for the yard!
Material needed:Stepping stones - Choose a stone color that is in contrast to your paint color A lace doily, or better yet, a vinyl / rubber doily (See step 6 for other options) Outdoor / Exterior Spray paint - You'll want the paint to stand out. Choose lighter or darker than your stone Outdoor / Exterior Clear spray sealer A large piece of cardboard. Even poster board will work just fine. A pen, pencil, heck, even a crayon will work A pair of scissors or a serrated knife. A scrub brush A source of water (bucket of, or garden hose) One can of spray paint is typically enough to spray six or seven stones.
Take into consideration the size of your stone, and the amount of paint
required to cover the areas without 'lace'. While paper doilies are available,
they would not be a wise choice, as the slightest breeze or even the spray
of the paint would move the doily around.
Though most doilies are crocheted, it is easy to find vinyl table covers, place mats
and other items to use. Please don't use an heirloom treasure your grandmother
made by hand! Be sure to choose one that will give a pleasing result with a lot of
coverage. If you have a large project in mind, consider table covers by the yard, which
are found in many box stores.
This is more of a new years treat, but since I was making tortillas, I figured I could make a few buñuelos. The difference between wheat tortillas and buñuelos is that the buñuelos are pan fried and sprinkled with sugar. Buñuelos are perfect when you are craving something lightly sweet. 
Using a pastry blender mix the flour, salt, and coconut oil evenly. This will create a mixture that looks like brown sugar. 
This weaving tutorial may take you back to second grade, but it also opens up a world of possibilities. Using this same method and different sizes, you can weave potholders, washcloths, scarves, small rugs, etc. I didn't purchase anything to make this woven scarf. I recycled some leftovers, including the wood and fabrics, then went to town with my idea! 
Making a weaving loom is super easy! Take your board and lay it across a long table or even on the floor. Hammer 5-7 nails, in a row, across each short end of the board. You can space out the nails about 1-2"-1" or just eyeball it. Perfection is not required here. And, the more nails you use, the wider your scarf will become (and the more fabric and yarn you will need). 
An easy to make, inexpensive, weather resistant Trellis that can hold two standard planter boxes.
1- six foot length of 2 X 6, I used pressure treated, but use what you can get.
Records don't just hold music—those album covers and sleeves are often beautiful artwork, and that artwork deserves to be seen. Unfortunately, many record-as-art projects can damage your walls, or hurt your records. This method does neither, and is flexible enough that you can change your wall art whenever you want.Album covers can make beautiful art, and this method is an affordable way to get those records (or at least their sleeves) out of your bookshelf and up on the wall. Plus, the J-Trim used here is less than $10 for way more than you'll need ($7 for 12 feet, in this case). Plus, if you have painted walls, you can paint the J-Trim to match. The example in the photo above is a little blurry, but you can see more examples in the link below. Just draw out where you want the J-Trim, make sure it's straight, mount the J-Trim to your wall with a pair of screws, and you're done. It's not the most gorgeous setup as-is, but we're willing to bet you could class it up a little with some paint or clever trimming.We've shown you how to build a vinyl art wall before. While using L-hooks screwed into the wall is a little less conspicuous than this method from reader Ryan, who used some inexpensive J-Trim to accomplish the same goal, this method makes it a little easier to remove the albums you're tired of looking at and slide in new ones, and also doesn't risk damaging your albums by resting them on hooks. Of course, if you have more to spend or want to put your albums behind glass, you can also pick up album frames at your local department store or even at IKEA.Mounting Vinyl Records on My Wall | Shred Rexx's DIY Corner
