Plastic Yarn Box

Has your mother, your grandmother or yourself complained about all of your yarn being thrown into a basket or just scattered randomly around a room in the house after a long craft session? Well, there's an easy way to fix that with a simple DIY project! 

You can make a super simple yarn box right at home, likely with things that you probably already have around the house. All you need for this project is whatever sized plastic container that you need to accommodate the amount of yarn you have and something to poke holes in the lid of the container with. You will poke the holes, then slide each end of the stools of yarn through the holes out the top. After you replace the top, you can now grab yarn out of the box very easily, without the clutter of loose yarn around your craft room and home. 

If you have a lot of yarn to include, you can color code the yarn in an order that you choose so you know exactly where to go for each color. You also may, if you have too large of a yarn box to remember, use a handheld label-maker to mark where in the box each type of yarn is placed to avoid confusion. The rest is up to you with regards to decoration, organization and style of your yarn box!

Storage to Seating

If you are a social butterfly, like many people out there, you may thrive in the atmosphere of hosting get-togethers at your apartment or home. However, two big issues can arise when you are the host of your social group. These are Storage of your belongings and Seating for your many guests. Well luckily if you have extra plastic storage totes sitting around your living space you can create one solution to two problems.  For this project all you will need is two plastic storage bins , a piece of plywood and a quilted bedspread. This project is remarkably simple as all you need to do is put the storage bins end-to-end and place the piece of plywood over them to create a flat surface. After the plywood place the bedspread over the top and either fold it under the storage bins or simply let it hang over the edges and hold it in place with decorative objects or walls. You can even put throw pillows on top of the bedspread if you are feeling extra fancy or some padding between the plyw...

DIY Water Feature

Have you been feeling like your landscaping is missing something? Maybe you need a water feature! A water feature will give your outdoor area some visual and audible interest. We are going to tell you how to make a small water feature that's inexpensive and easy to do. First, you need a clear or opaquely clear watertight plastic tote . The size depends on your preference, but we think an 80 quart tote will allow you a great look. Find the area where you want to put your water feature and trace around the tote. Then dig out enough dirt so that the top of the container is flush with the ground. Next, get some larger rocks and place them in the bottom to hold the tote in place. If you want (and this is actually very important), place a pump into the container. Keeping the water moving helps to promote aeration throughout the pond and discourages the growth of pests like mosquitoes and algae. Use some more rocks to secure the pump. Now, here's where your creativity gets to shine! S...
