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

Katar — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 14:00:28 +0000

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 neighbor's lawn - it's 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:

DIY Flower Girl Basket Tutorials

Katar — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 14:00:21 +0000

I think it’s TOTAL CRAP that vendors are charging around $50 for flower girl baskets. It’s a FREAKING BASKET, that’s used for less than FIVE MINUTES, that you throw flower petals out of, which will probably stain the basket anyways. Awesome.. NOT!

I REFUSE to buy one! It’s dumb! I got some awesome baskets at Joann for $3 each (I’m having 2 flower girls) and I am going to revamp the heck out of them! They will be 508,432 times awesomer than the $50 ones, and I bet I’ll end up paying less than $10 for the materials, for BOTH!

Anyways, if you feel the same way I do, I’ve gathered a bunch of tutorials for making your own from scratch, or revamping a plain ol’ basket like I’m going to do. I’ll be sure to post my outcome and tutorial when I finish them, so you can see what I did! Yay!

Update: I finished the flower girl baskets and wrote a tutorial! Click on the photo to see what I did!

Wire Hangers: What Can I Do With Them?

Katar — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 14:00:10 +0000

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!
