Fashion DIY: Hawt Summer shoes

First up: Summer T-shirt Sandals





For this project you're need:
- flip flops (preferably used)
- scissors
- piece of chalk or marker 
- craft knife
- heavy duty waterproof glue
- recycled t-shirts
- screw driver
- flat butter knife or thin plastic ruler to stuff fabric into the soles. (Not shown)
- clamps (or heavy books)

Grab your stuff and head over to annekata for the full tutorial!

"Tyler," you may say, "I'm sorry but that looks like waay too much work. And I didn't happen to have any waterproof glue or clamps hanging around, sorry."

Ok, ok. It's alright dear reader. For the lazy (ahem sorry, "time conservative") of those among us I've provided a quicker solution:

Tackalicious shoes

For this DIY creation all you need is a couple of boxes of thumbtacks and a pair of cheap wedges from Walmart or Payless. Before you know it, you've paid only about $25 (maybe less) and have created a $150 pair of shoes eerily similar to "The Tick" by Jeffrey Campbell on Karmaloop.

Stick to it 'till the weekend and enjoy your Thursday, all!

Creative Yarn Storage Solutions

Yarn has a habit for taking over living space. Here are some simple, creative solutions to that pesky little problem.

 One storage solution is to use wine racks, as seen on Prudent Baby

The next is to store yarn balls in a large glass jar as on The Loopy Ewe

Or you could use coffee cans like on the Lethal Blog

You could also make these interesting water jug containers for your lovely yarnies. You can find the tutorial here on Instructables.

Molly Knight Crafts uses a hanging closet shoe organizer to store her yarn.

And Knot What We Think uses a China Cabinet
