Greeting Card Holder

Greeting Card Holder

Since I work with Habitat ReStore so closely, I am always challenging myself to come up with upcycling ideas for some of their more commonly found items. Like these Christmas ornaments that I made for them a couple of years ago. Today, however, I decided to do the same with a vent register, which they always have in stock.

I was about to put them in the “re-donate” pile (which I am CONSTANTLY adding to), but thought better of it. If I found the picture frame, I could combine them into a framed cork board to use as home office decor!Read more ›

Magnetic Memo Board from a Cookie Tray

If your cookie tray starts to look old, rusty, or scratched up, they can be completely reborn into an organizer of sorts! I saw this idea first in GreenCraft magazine and wanted to recreate it right away. A magnetic memo board seemed like it would be SO handy for notes, recipes, etc.
