Craft My Ass off

Basically my crafting bucket list, maybe I'll get around to making these, maybe I won't. Things I want to make, things to improve the house, & things to enjoy (and share with others!) Also, please note that I do not take credit, or claim that any of these are my own, unless otherwise stated. I try to always include the correct content source, as many of these crafts have tutorials & I want to give credit to the talented creators. Feel free to ask for a tutorial if there is not a click through link.

It’s wine o’clock (somewhere) — which means it’s time to share a wine-related repurposing find:

Empty wine bottles made into bird feeders.

To DIY, see ChickenStreet’s tutorial here.

It’s wine o’clock (somewhere!) — which means it’s time to share a wine-related repurposing find …

Today, it’s a DIY project: Attach corks to the cover of an electric fan, to make a mobile or a lamp.

With the addition of a lamp cord set (mentioned previously here), such a creation could be used as a lighting fixture or “chandelier,” as maker Mox & Fodder says.

For tutorial, see Mox & Fodder’s post here.
