DIY Necklace and Earring Displays

Figuring out to set things up for craft fairs can be so difficult, not to mention expensive. If you want to cut costs and use recycled, thrift store or home made stuff sometime it can come off looking or not well presented, and if you buy all of the professional display stuff you fork out a ton of money, and look like most of the other jewelry sellers out there. So what are you to do? Easy head on over to Beth Millner's Blog and check out her tutorial for her necklace and earring displays. They are handmade, but they look so professional!

DIY Bean Bag Chair

How many of you had a bean bag chair when you were little. I know I did, I know I also used to get into trouble with it. They slide quite nicely down halls with hardwood floors. Run...jump...slide....crash. Now that reminisced, don't you want one for your self or your little one. Well the folks over at Michael Miller's Making it Fun have just made it a little easier. They have a complete tutorial for making your own. No worrying about finding the right color, or wondering what's inside. You get to choose your fabric and the stuffing! Have fun!
