Instructables: step-by-step collaboration
Think DIY nirvana -- a place where you can pick up tips from other do-it-yourself enthusiasts and post photos (and tips) about your own project successes. I learned about this site from the Fix Chicks who -- themselves -- are always a great source of ideas on anything reno or fix it related. You may want to read their smart and fun review of Instructables.com (currently the lead item @ www.thefixchicks.com).

Who knew fruit could make an adorable pair of footies, let alone hand-painted, vintage one-of-a-kind stilettos? Reclaiming the crafts of the handmade from the 80's makes me feel like I'm furthering the DIY movement of today. If that sounds beyond you, I apologize. Head to your nearest artist supply, and don't scoff until you produce something decent. Like these banana shoes, by who cares, they pwn.

Here is a design to get you in the mood for spring, even if you don’t have real flowers blooming yet. This kit comes with tulips, daisies, bluebells, and even a few butterflies to flutter around your spring flowers. The stems are apple green and include a shamrock for those that want a bit of the luck ‘o the Irish thrown in. The flowers come in your choice of blue, red, or pink and you can even mix and match the flowers—your choice. For those that don’t specify a flower color, they will toss in whatever color is plentiful at the moment. The stems measure 8” overall, and the design itself can extend further depending on the butterfly placement. At the very least you’ll have plenty of extra flowers for practice before you’re done. The best part is that it free and automatically included with every design ordered between now and the time they decide to create a new promotional item.

MAKE, the mag for the do-it-youself gurus. I used to subscribe to this mag, but I will admit it takes a handy woman or man to truly enjoy some of the projects. Great ideas, and great fun.

Carve a special message, or an unspecial one, into this wooden postcard and send it along. It is a novelty idea and a fun keepsake for whomever receives it. Plus, carving stuff is fun.

This has a bunch of great projects in it that I can't wait to try. Also, for no apparent reason, recipes for homemade bath and body products. Random, but much appreciated.

How many crappy apartments have you wanted to decorate, only to look at your lease agreement and realize that any changes made to the apartment will result in the loss of your deposit and the beheading of your grandmother? Mozaikits are a more affordable, more flexible option for decorating with vinyl decals. They come in 3 color packs (greens, reds, and blues) and can be used as squares or cut into tiny snowflakes or hearts or leaves or any other nifty little thing you can think of.
