Quick craft ideas

On July 29th, 2010 by .

With everyone still watching their pennies, we thought we would suggest a few quick and affordable craft ideas for around the home…

Jar Storage
Tie ribbon around an assortment of glass jars and fill with cutlery in the kitchen.

Light-up Bottle
Feed a string of fairy lights into a large glass brewing bottle for an alternative light source.

Art from Anything
Frame antique maps, sheet music, vintage handkerchiefs, poetry, postcards and envelopes.
Floating Bottles
Securely tie the necks of small glass bottles with twine or ribbon, fill with water and cut flowers from around the garden, hang from hooks indoors or off branches in the garden.

    Great tips, I particularly like the bottle light one but what to do with the plug wire?

    Hi Victoria,
    I would suggest placing the bottles on a side table close to a plug socket and feeding the plug out the back so that it’s not visable.
