This weekend I also did an upcycle on a Banana Republic collared shirt from Goodwill

I bought these buttons from Walmart

I had to clip off the backs of them so they would lay flat. then I used jewel washable glue, so hopefully I can wash it and they stay. Fingers crossed

Finished project! I really really like it.

diy laundry detergent

I've been "going organic" and I blame my sister in law for rubbing off on me. To me honest, it's fun!

I decided to make my own laundry detergent with her recipe!

The recipe is 2 cups grated soap. 1 cup washing soda. 1 cup borax. Use 2 tablespoons when washing.

grated soap! I used Dove "summer care" I didn't hurt myself either. (shocking)

I needed an air tight container with a handle, so I bought a pitcher.

I really like it! It smells good, and it will be cheaper in the long run.

bracelet holder

Also, this weekend I put together a bracelet holder that I desperately needed. I'm not one to buy bracelets. Mostly because I don't have anywhere to put them. We are pretty tight for space in our apartment.

It was very easy to make and took about 10 minutes.

I used the only wrapping paper I had. Paper towel cardboard, a cd thingy? tape, scissors, and glue.

This part took the longest. 

Then a quick glue job!

TA DA!

SPRING IS HERE

 It was a beautiful day here in Iowa yesterday and instead of enjoying the great outdoors, I have been inside all day. Crafting that is. However, I did get to drive with the windows down on my way to Hobby Lobby!

I decided I needed some Easter/Spring decor to get into the season.

I usually make something unhealthy/delicious on the weekends!

I call this Peanut Butter Cereal Treats (clever right)

 I also made another duct tape rack for my boyfriends mom. She brought over a sample of her wall paper for me to match it. I found the perfect colors!
 Hope she likes it.
