Old Picture Frames: What Can I Do With Them?

I have TONS of old picture frames – TONS. I am pretty set on making sure my frames in each of my rooms match. A lot of times I just spray paint the old frames so that they are all the same color – so that usually works out! However, I have frames with missing glass, latches, and huge chips. There’s a ton of stuff that you can do with these – which brings me to the purpose of this post!

Leaves and Tree Branches: What Can I Do With Them?

I am all raked out.

I’ve recently raked leaves at a park for community service, at my parent’s cottages, at my fiance’s parent’s house, and of course, at our house (which took several hours and basically an entire weekend!)

Our house right before Halloween

Our neighbors lawn - its hard to tell from the photos, but those leaves were piled inches high!

This weekend, we even went back to my fiance’s parents house to finish up the raking job that we started! There are TOO MANY LEAVES! So what can we do with these leaves, you ask? Sure.. you’ll probably use yard waste recycling, but why not pick out the awesome ones to craft with!? I’m sure while you’re raking, you’ll find some tree branches mixed in along the way, so put them to good use as well! Here are some tutorials:

Wire Hangers: What Can I Do With Them?

Spoon gets all of his work shirts dry cleaned every couple of weeks, and when we get them back, there’s a white wire hanger on each one. We have accumulated more wire hangers than the clothes we have, so I started thinking about what could be done with them.

So far, all we’ve done with them involved cutting them and bending them to make stakes to hold down our Halloween decorations into the ground. They worked really well and none of our stuff blew away. Yay!

But hey – I still have a TON left, and more are coming. I did my homework – here are some fun and awesome things that you can make or do with your wire hangers. Yay!
