Fun Finds Friday

Aren't these embellished scissors the cutest? I think they'd be perfect for Mother's Day or as an end of school gift for teachers. Hop on over to Crap I've Made and let Char show you how you can make your own pair (if you have some basic supplies on-hand it'll only cost you $1!)!

I have an {almost} embarassingly large stash of corks (picked up at a thrift store last year, not from all the wine drinking we do lol), and I've been searching for a cute project to use them on. This adorable cork heart at Turning a House Into a Home totally caught my eye, and I can't wait to try it for myself. LOVE it!

I'm not sure why it never occurred to me to makeover our file cabinet, but this stylish facelift at Apartment Therapy makes me want to convince my hubby to drag our file cabinet out of it's incredibly tight strorage quarters so that I can try it!

I have to admit that I have a bit of an obsession with baker's twine...but I own none of it, because I'm also way too cheap to pay for string just because it's cute (hmmm, guess I had to draw the line somewhere, eh?). I stumbled across this post for DIY baker's twine at The Frugal Crafter and immediately fell in love. Genius!

Stepping Thru Crazy's zig-zag fabric bracelets are adorable, quick and easy to make, and can be made from repurposed fabrics...awesome! Take a peek over there, and check out Sarah's step-by-step tutorial to make your own!

Making a giant outdoor chalkboard has been on my to-do list forever, and I think it's time to finally make one of our own. My boys love chalk and chalk paint, but I get sooooo tired of cleaning it up off of our patio (and the picnic table, the chairs, the easel, the trampoline...) since they're a bit overzealous about it. I'll be using this simple idea from Angry Chicken to create our very own designated "Chalk Area!"
