Ribbon Bookmarks and Paper Clips

I love this idea and it is so easy to make.  Just take your ribbon and tie around a cute paperclip.  This would be so cute to give as a gift and you really cannot get something much easier and cheap. Great idea and so easy to do.  Who wouldn't love getting a bunch of these to use around the house?

Mod Podge Paper onto Plates

This is such a cute idea and I could think of all of the party and holiday plates you could make with this method.  The best is that you can get these clear plates at the dollar store or you can get them really cheap at IKEA.  The paper is really cheap as well.  These would be fun to do for a birthday party, Halloween, Christmas, or as a gift for someone.  The only thing you have to be careful of is, making sure these do not get water on them, once the water gets on the paper it will ruin it.  These have to be spot cleaned with a paper towel so they do not get ruined.  Other than that, these were easy, quick, cheap and fun to put together.

Painting a Cookie Sheet

I know mine did not turn out nearly as cute.  This is such a cute idea but would take some time and the right paints.  I love that theirs is shiny and not flat like mine.  If you take the time to really pattern this out it would be really cute and a really cute gift for someone.  I just am thinking of all of the cookie sheets I could get at the thrift store and give them new life.
