I find myself window shopping (and quite a bit I might add) at random craft stores for random items and random projects.
I spy a chalkboard with coat hooks and think, "This would look perfect in my entry way!". As I turn the beauty over and find the price, that thought is instantly replaced by, "Pshaw! 35 dollars! I think not! Why, I can make this myself!".
And it's not just the wonderful chalkboard with coat hooks. It's the florescent blue cake stand for my cupcakes, or the colorful pinwheels for my lawn, or the bedazzled napkin holders for my table settings.
Ladies and gentlemen, I think I may have a problem.
And that problem is, I think I can make everything myself.
Each post from here on out will have my trials and tribulations of the multitude of projects that I believe I can tackle. I'll try my very best to inform you of the following:
a) Original concept
b) Tools and supplies
c) Cost breakdown
d) Time it takes
e) Whether it's easier and more economical to just buy instead of DIY
I leave you with the ability to post comments and suggestions. Suggestions mainly describing what I can do to make these projects easier and more cost effective!
Enjoy.
