If you have yet to discover or explore the magnificent pinterest, I invite you (er, well you’d have to ask me to, but I totally can!) to go on a quest in search of ANYTHING. I dare you to find something cool. Because that’s what pinterest is all about, sharing cool stuff without all the drama blah blah blah of facebook. It’s a place to enjoy fun ideas with friends and then bug them later about if they actually made that melted crayon art for their kids’ room. One thing about pinterest is how much crafty stuff you can find. It’s truly insanity. And people pin it, with the most sincere intentions of actually doing it one day. Occasionally that happens… Some of the best stuff is turning “trash” into new treasures. I thought I would share some pretty nifty projects I found. I keep them stashed on my Re-Use board, a place dedicated to giving new life to old things via some good ol’ DIY.

Who hasn’t thought these would be way cooler in a non-ketchup-mustard combo?!

If you actually go to the board, you’ll see I had quite an obsession with pringle can projects…

Though, I would hope you wouldn’t just have a diapers box laying around.

I know… Soda. So uncrunchy. Grab some Kern’s for this one, not perfect, but you’ll feel an insy bit better.

The link to this one has been lost, but it seems rather self-explanatory to me!

Looks easy enough, but if you want a how-to I sure hope you have a webpage translator….

The only issue I see with this: where in the heck do you find this kind of light bulb anymore?!

Now this one is my absolute favorite!
