Equine Supplement Bucket to Trick or Treating Bucket
My kids actually go trick or treating several times each year. We own a camper so we camp seasonally and the season includes two early October Trick or Treating weekends. By the time actual Halloween comes along it is pretty much a non-event. Since they trick or treat three times at least, it is pretty inevitable that at least one of those days will be raining. Last year, all three days were raining and any candy they did get that wasn’t eaten on that first night had to be thrown out. It was all soak and wet right through the bag and through the candy. This year we are planning…

TShirt Scarf Project
One of the easiest ways to make a circular scarf is through tshirts – those without designs on them. You can make them any color, combine colors, wider scarfs, narrower scarfs, multiple layered scarfs etc… This particular one is actually two strips of the same color with staggered lengths. To make one of these scarfs you just need a tshirt – any color you want – without any type of print on it. You cut off the bottom sewn hem (don’t throw that away – there is a use for everything). Then (in this picture I used a man’s 2X size shirt – I will tell you why in…

Recycled Parts Become A Unique Wall Hanging
This piece of wall decor was created from items that I just couldn’t throw away. I am not a hoarder but I seriously have to think about just about anything I have before I throw it away and this was no exception. We had one of those small (cheap) wooden round tables that I used the legs on another project. You know the kind with the wafer board top that sells for about $14? I had the circle tabletop left. Then, a friend of mine gave me some metal pieces to some sort of table. I never could quite figure out how to turn it back into a table –…
