Be Inspired: Two Sweet DIY Projects

on January 12, 2009 at 12:00 PM

I love Ez's blog Creature Comforts, don't you? Her blog always leaves me coming back for more (and did you know Ez blogs for Cookie's Nesting now too?)

Ez had two über-sweet things this past week that I just gotta share:

DIY Paperback Apple from Creature Comforts

Isn't this DIY Paperback Apple sweet? Now I can't stop seeing 25-cent garage sale paperbacks turning into apples, lots and lots of golden apples.

(Ez found the Paperback Apple tutorial at Cheeky Magpie, via Fresh Tea)

Feather Collector from Creature Comforts

As a self-proclaimed birdophile, this idea for keeping a feather collection "just so" made me a little giddy. Okay, now who has a great source for test tubes? Do tell!

(Ez found this idea in the BROOKLYNrehab shop)

Actually, I do have great sources for test tubes.

http://www.sciplus.com/

They sell surplus stuff, so have great prices, and seem to keep test tubes in stock. The also sell corks, but the price of cork of OUTRAGEOUS, even surplus.

These people were reasonable, too, and when three of the test tubes arrived shattered, they gave me a ten dollar credit! But now I can't seem to find the ones I got before.
