These actually are not coasters — they're tiny cork saucers to put underneath a plant pot. I found them in the garden center at Walmart for 99¢ each. A few dabs of paint, and they're quirky, creative coasters for your home!

This is one of my favorite things! I was inspired by a white version of this clothespin mirror by Tara Dennis. But I have a lot of paints in my stash and wanted to make a colorful version for my new apartment.
What do you think? What colors would you use to spruce up your space?
Last week, I got really obsessed with making t-shirt yarn out of old, need-to-be-upcycled duds. I also got sort of obsessed with these t-shirt yarn bowls by Francine Clouden on Kollabora. This is the result.
Make one of these wine bottle coozies, and you'll never worry about drippy wine again. They're easy to make, and they can be used as bowls, can coozies or other things as well. I was making a batch of bowls when my roommate mentioned that we could use one as a wine bottle coozie to prevent drips on our new, white countertop. Perfect!
Ch = chain
Sc = single crochet
Have you ever made bowls out of t-shirt yarn? I find that they're very sturdy — and the yarn is super fun to work with.
