DIY Flokati/Shag rug

This is an oldie, but goodie. I made this tutorial when I first started blogging and had a rather crappy camera. Regardless, it is still one of my favorite creations! Easy, but time consuming.

No Sew Linen-looking Bed Skirt from a Drop Cloth

Make a seriously simple bed skirt with a drop cloth! It's already hemmed so all you need to do it cut and tuck. I made one to match my drop cloth upholstered headboard with the left over material in about 5 minutes!

How To Make Garden Treasure Jars

inside. Use them like little time capsules or part of a treasure hunt. And, of course, the covered jars look like pretty jewels in the garden.

1. Cover any used jar (keep the lid) with flat-bottom marbles (also sold as 'florist stones' or 'glass gems'). I use GE Silicone II sealant (clear, waterproof) as an adhesive.

2. Mount the lid on a post or dowel.

3. Attach the jar.

Notes and tiny treasures can be added at any time.
