FYI: TAKE THE CHEMICALS OUT OF YOUR HOME (THE GREEN GAL; GABRIELLE)

These all work...honest! If anyone in your home has allergies or breathing problems, consider going the chemical-free way.

Here's a some more tips to add to the list: vinegar and a stiff brush will clean grungy grout; clean and sanitize wood cutting boards with vinegar, then rinse with water; pour vinegar into vases and allow to sit overnight to remove water lines and scale; a cup of vinegar added to the washing machine at the beginning of the cycle will help remove stains. BTW: I'm talking white vinegar here...save that balsamic for the strawberries.

Click FYI (above) to see what and how.

TUTORIAL: CORN HUSK ROSE (ARTS, CRAFTS N HOBBIES; IRAM)

Using corn husks as a craft supply dates back to the first crafter who had access to corn husks (At least I think that's right!) If you're fresh out of corn, not to worry. Check out the Mexican food section in the grocery store...sometimes crafts stores have bags of them too. The husks can be easily colored by dipping into die reinkers that have been diluted with water.

Now I'm not a Circut owner, so I can't say for sure that this works...but it surely looks like it will! Don't know if the other electronic cutters can do the cutting, but it's worth trying...as long as the instructions for that machine don't say, 'No way, no how.'

Click TUTORIAL (above) and crank up that Cricut!

VIDEO: FLEECE FLOWER PIN (STAMP WITH TAMI; TAMI WHITE)

If the thought of stitching anything gives you the chills, Tami provides a warm solution in this video. Easy as pie, quick as can be, and terrific results....plus fleece is often overlooked as a flower supply, so these cuties are not the usual. Good all the way around.

Click TUTORIAL (above) and start that album.

TUTORIAL: MINI FELT PINWHEELS (PAPER N STITCH; MAYI CARLES)

The tut shows these cuties as hair adornments...but, I don't think the rules will be broken if you add them to paper creations. No reason that flowers, buttons or bows should have all the fun.

SEWING MACHINE TIPS: ADJUSTING THE TENSION OF A SEWING MACHINE

Certain electronic machines automatically set the tension for the type of fabric and stitch being used. But for other machines, chances are this info will be included in your owner's manual. If you don't have a manual, and the tension in your machine is not pre-programmed, this generic info should provide the anwers. Only tid bit I'll add is to place a piece of fabric on the feed dog, lower the needle, and lower the presser foot before turning the tension knob.

Click SEWING MACHINE TIPS (above) and stitch away!

Great way to get rid of that stack of 'Why Did I Buy This' paper you chucked in the back of the closet a few months (years?) ago.

Click TUTORIAL (above) and fly away....

TUTORIAL: MINI RIBBON ROSES (ARTS, CRAFTS N HOBBIES; IRAM FARTASH)

Sometimes we forget the old-fashioned way to do stuff. This technique for creating ribbon roses has been around for ever and ever.

All sorts of ways they can be used, the least of which is on a pony tail holder.

TUTORIAL: SILK RIBBON ROSES (SCIENTIFIC SEAMSTRESS; CARLA HEGEMAN CRIM)

It's impossible for silk ribbons roses to look anything but gorgeous. Carla shows how to create them lickety-split. Suppose you're wondering if rayon seam binding (either DIY-colored or purchased in colors) would work...yep! But, those roses won't look as soft as the silk ones due to rayon having a slightly stiffer hand than silk (BTW: hand indicates the way fabric drapes over an outstretched hand).

Click TUTORIAL (above) to see and to be impressed.

TUTORIAL: DECOUPAGE PLATE (ANNEKATA)

Beauty time! Plates like this add a certain pizaaz to tables and shelves. They don't require a lot of time, and no special tools or skills are needed. One suggestion...create a photo collage and scan it to use on the back of the plate. Neat gift for a birthday or anniversary.

FREE DOWNLOADS: TEMPLATES (MAKE IT AND MEND IT)

You don't have to be told that old cards are the only supply that can be used when using these templates... that boatload of cardstock you've got stashed CAN be used for stuff other than cards!

Click TUTORIAL (above) to see how it's done.

RECYCLE: POSIES (BOLD NEIGHBORHOOD)

You can use new paper or fabric for these cuties, but leftover odds and ends work just fine. Use the fusible web on paper too...same as with paper, except no steam (regardless of what the directions on the package say). Fusible web works great with paper, and it's fast, fast, fast. No templates, dies or punches mean no size limitations. How 'bout that!

Click EYE CANDY (above) and enjoy the view.

RECYCLE: BOOK PAGE SUNBURST MIRROR (CREATIVE JEWISH MOM; SARA RIVKA)

Here's one way to give new life to that old text book that was chucked in the garage eons ago...pretty snazzy, if you ask me. If you prefer a bit more pop and glam, spray paint will make that burst burst in a big way.

Click RECYCLE (above) and dig through that pile of stuff in the garage.
