I've seen these flags all over the place...like Etsy and Pinterest. They are adorable and if you need a lot of them, the price can add up. They are awesome for everything from cupcake toppers to sandwich markers to marking off items in the fridge. Because washi tape comes in SO many colors and patterns, you can customize these any way you want. I have bought these in the past for parties I'm ...

Please note I received samples of contact paper from Chic Shelf Paper. All the patterns you see here are available ...
An Organized Entryway With Custom Totes
Entryways are the eyes to our home. They see everything and anything that comes or goes from your home. Not only are the the last thing you see before you start the day, they are the first thing you see when you arrive home. An organized entryway can really set the tone for your entire home and your entire day.
Okay so this project can be customized to your needs, tastes and kids. I'm ...
Marker Organizer (And More)
So as you've seen lately, I've been crafting a lot with leather (and faux leather). I was thinking about something else to make and I wanted to make something for markers. Now you could also use this for makeup brushes, paint brushes, or even pens and pencils!
What you'll need:
A piece of leather (mine was faux and about 12x10 inches)
A sharp craft knife
A safe surface to cut ...
Organizing With French Fry Containers (Yes, you read that right!)
I'm always looking for new products to help you get organized. I was recently at Michael's craft store and I found these french fry containers. I was curious how I could use them so I picked up a pack. There were 10 in the package and it cost about $3. Here's what I came up with...
My first thought was that these would make great containers to give kids craft supplies in. Instead of ...
Make Your Own Hand Soap
Usually when I say I'm making my own detergent or hand soap, someone rolls their eyes at me. However, this isn't just about what goes into your hand soap, it's about saving money. This is SO easy to make and SUPER inexpensive.
So what do you need? A gallon of water (I used distilled but you could filter your own) and a bar of soap. I prefer castille soap.
The soap cost me $1.50 ...
Organizing & Crafting With Elastics

Wait till you see what you can do with it, and how much money you can save!

Make Your Own Cord Organizers
Organizing cords can be difficult. The fact that cords come in many shapes and sizes, you need to carry some with you and they get tangled easily, and you have a recipe for an organizing nightmare. I wanted to give you some ways to organize the cords you use frequently and use on to go.
I'm going to show you a two different organizers, but I'll start with the easier of the two. ...
Diaper Wipe Container Organizing
Have a baby at home? If you do, you have lots of those diaper wipe containers. Despite not having a baby, I buy those wipes for my dogs, clean up after a workout and to clean up sticky messes on the go. This post is all about reusing, repurposing and recycling what you've already purchased and have on hand.
For this post, I wanted to have lots of matching containers. A dear friend ...
Make Your Own Painted Bead Keychains
While this isn't strictly an organizing project, it CAN be used to color code keys, bags or even jackets. Use one color bead for a certain family member or even for a certain type of key....for example...teal beads mean car keys and so on. It's an easy craft that kids can do and it's not expensive. These key chains make great zipper pulls or bag accessories as well.
What you'll ...
