Polaroid wall art! Very easy to do. Pick your favorite photos and upload them on PicMonkey. Then, edit them by clicking on the frames option, "Polaroid Frame" and changing the degrees of the photo to 0. Repeat for all of your photos, then print and cut them. You can buy mini-clothespins at the dollar store and metal clips at most craft stores. Have fun, send me a photo of your own wall art! I'm working on mine now. :)

Cheap, easy and make great gifts! Buy mugs from the dollar store or the thrift store and use ceramic markers or another form of pottery/ceramic/glass paint or marker.

What a fun DIY project! A summer to do list. Easily change this into any other time of list, such as: Goals, ideas, etc!

All you need is a tall frame, scrapbook paper or other and a *reusable marker* (the ones to write on whiteboards) to write on the glass. Full instructions can be found here: http://eighteen25.blogspot.ca/2010/06/summer-to-dos.html

Decorative arrows! I fell in love with these. Perfect for the Hunger Games lovers. Every arrow can be unique! Mix and match washi tape, fabric scraps or paint with an assortment of feathers (real feathers, felt, printed or drawn). For the full tutorial click here: http://modernkiddo.com/?p=4117#

Am I the only one who remembers how much fun playdough was? I could sit at the table for hours making animals, houses, using cookie cutters... I'm sure if you made a fresh batch and had a few friends over, you'd all turn into 6 year olds again heheh :)

A DIY project for the home. Find a piece of wood for every shelf cube, making sure it covers well. Find your favorite record covers or print out your own photos to glue on to your shelf doors (you might want to try Mod Podge glue). Buy door hinges and attach the now photo covered wood to the shelf!
