• Sewing needle and thread

1. Collect your fabric and sew start together to begin your rope.
2. Start to braid your rug as you go decide if you want a round rug or an oval one and sew as desired, this will make it easier to work with.

Make your rug as big as you wish it to be. Place your rug(s) where ever you wish.

Day Four

Good idea for kitchen twine or thin yarn for projects.

Day Three

Nifty storage ideas for bedroom, desk, and electronic devices.

Day Two

I found this online and thought to myself: "Self that is one heluva good idea you must share this. It could save a lot of looking for containers to store stuff in the kitchen." My only tip to go with this picture is after you cut the tops off the bottles burn the edges carefully to keep the tops from cutting the bags. Another way to "soften" the edges is take an emery board to them and lightly file the edge. Hope this helps.

What you need:

• Empty pop bottles
• Snips, to cut tops off
• Emery board for softening cut edges
• Bags for storage
• Anything you wish to store

What you do:

1.  Cut the tops off the pop bottles.
2.  Use your emery board to soften the edges.
3.  Use these tops when you want to store things like beans (fresh or dried), put food stuff in bag, squeeze out the air if using fresh items, put the bag through the bottle neck and fold the sides down. Screw cap on and put your storage item away.

Day One

How to make a light out of bottle caps

 Recycling at its finest

What you need:

• 215 bottle caps, the screw on type.
• hot glue gun and glue
• lamp with a click type on-off switch

What to do:

1.  Arrange bottle caps in squares 6x6 caps per side.
2.  Fill in the sides as in picture above.
3.  Insert lamp on side that has only 35 caps.
4.  Construct lamp sides as in the above picture.

Viola you now have a new lamp that you created all by yourself.

Found these online and just have to share with everyone.
