How to hide a protruding object

Step by step directions using a old frame and hardware to conceal a protruding object on the wall. (We converted part of our garage into a office/mudroom so we decided to hide the garage door opener since we don't use it)

  • Get creative with your recyclables!!!
  • Purchase some inexpensive figures and mini trees found at most craft stores and even the dollar store. 1
  • fill the base of the lid with white glue and let set a few minutes until it becomes thick and tacky.
  • also place some glue on the bottom of the tree, giving it a little twist as you push down to remove any air bubbles.
  • Do the same thing with the base of your animals or any other small trinkets you would like to place inside the jar.
  • Test the opening that you have the items positioned so the jar lip will clear and you can get eh lid back on the jar.
  • add another layer of glue and add faux snow and sparkly glitter to the inside of the base. Let the jar sit out a few days so the glue dries and moisture doesn't get caught in the jar when you put the lid back on.
  • once dry, screw the lid back on and give it a slight tilt so some of the glitter and fine snow particles coat the inside a bit.
  • Use different sized jars for a different effect, or cluster them for the full impact. You can enjoy your new decor, or give as teacher or neighbor gifts! 1

  • Mix 4-5 drops of your essential oil into a half-cup of water.  Add 2 drops of vodka to the water. The vodka serves as an emulsifier and helps keep the water and oil mixed.
  • Pour the mixture into the jar or vase.
  • Add reeds and get ready for the scent to flow.  It does take a few days for the reeds to absorb the oil and release its scent.

I finally decided to make my own diffuser. I had most of the materials from another diffuser kit I never used. I wasn't too happy with the smell it came with so figured it was a perfect ...»
time to give it a go. I will NEVER buy an expensive diffuser kit again.

Turn that unwanted twin bed into a useful bench!

I absolutely love this idea. Your children are growing up and it may be hard for you to throw their old bed. Rather than stowing it away in an attic, because you just can't part with ...»
it, re-purpose it into a fabulous bench! This can be done with any size bed, but is probably easiest with a twin. Use the headboard as the back of your bench and then cut the footboard to make the both sides. Build the bench part in and . . . voila! A great re-purposed heirloom.
