  • A small but attractive shed set along the side of a house. With some shelves, it can store quite a bit, all with easy access. Can also be placed next to a fence.

Small storage for along the side of a house

This small shed provides extra storage along the side of the house without encroaching on yard space. #shed #outdoor #organizedhome

I bought this beat-up cedar chest for peanuts. I wanted to do something a little different so I tried a new technique. It turned out better than I envisioned. That doesn't happen very often!

  • I needed a way to organize my ever growing collection of baker's twine.
  • I wanted to display the twine in a mason jar and be able to pull it through the cut-outs in a daisy lid, but I had to find a way to keep it from getting jumbled up inside.
  • I picked up some 6" long bolts, some hex nuts, and some washers at the hardware store.  Then I put the bolt through the top of the daisy cut out lid.
  • Then I alternated spools of twine and washers...
  • ...until it looked like this!  (I screwed the nut on the bottom to keep the spools secure.)
  • And here is the finished product!
  • It's as pretty as it is neat and efficient.
  • If you'd like to learn more, including where to buy the lids, check out my post at: http://www.acasarella.net/2013/03/mason-jar-twine-holders.html. 3

A fun way to organize your craft room!

Learn to make these cute mason jar twine holders. It's a great way to organize your craft room using items you already have (plus a few extras from the hardware store). ...»

Update: I would like to address the two biggest questions I've received regarding this project:

Question #1. Where did I get the daisy lids? I have included three links on my blog where you can purchase them. One link takes you to gold ones, one takes you to silver ones, and another takes you to a link selling the lids with the jars. http://www.acasarella.net/2013/03/mason-jar-...

Question #2. Does the thread get tangled as you pull different strands through? So far the answer is no. And by "no" I mean that you can keep pulling strands through the lid and they all come out smoothly and uninterrupted. They do, however, seem to get twisted around one another. The twisting does not seem to be an impediment, though, as the strands still come through the holes just fine.

I don't know if this is because of the washers I put between each spool or if there's some other reason it's working for me, but I have almost completely unraveled a few of the spools in order to test it out. I hope it works as well for all of you!

Upcycle: Plastic Soda Bottles

Next time you go to toss your Pepsi bottle in the trash, consider this: The average plastic bottle takes 450 years to degrade. Instead, give your old plastic soda bottles a new lease on life.

1) Make A Funnel. Set your bottle on a table vertically, then cut it in half right around the diameter of the bottle. Turn the top half upside down, unscrew the top, and you have a funnel. #Love2Repurpose ...»
