I like to save my wine corks to make into keychains to give as little gifts or stocking stuffers. I have also made one for myself to keep our boat key on. Since the wine cork floats, it makes a perfect base to hold a boat key.

Tin Can Sewing Caddy

I made a sewing caddy which includes a pin cushion that's pretty enough to be set on a shelf, yet comes in handy while I'm measuring and cutting out patterns. Made with used tin cans it's a quick, easy project.

  • I started by painting the teapot green. Then I added some purple stripes to jazz it up.
  • A small mason jar became the vase that fit inside just perfectly. Love the flower spout, don't you?
