Project: Origami Easy Traditional Origami Balloon

Hey everyone! Husband here with another Origami project for you to try your hand at! Even though Katie and I are in the midst of moving, I still managed to create something I think you’ll really enjoy.

They’re great to toss around, cats love them and everyone will totally think you’re the COOLEST. Just kidding, I wasn’t cool at all 🙁

That said, I’ll still show you how to make one… Onwards! Continue reading Origami with The Husband: Easy Traditional Origami Balloon

Project: DIY Mini Sketch Book (or Notebook!)

A few weeks back, I found myself in one of my greatest inspiration stores. Nope, not the fabric store, or the craft store, or even the art store- Home Depot! Seriously, I love it there. We were visiting my Dad for the weekend and painting my childhood bedroom a sunny shade of pale golden yellow. While browsing the paint aisles, I decided to grab a few different paint chip swatches, knowing when I had the time I would be able to find a fun little project to use them for. Well, now is the time! Continue reading DIY Mini Sketch Book

Hey guys– since it’s Thursday, I wanted to do a throwback of sorts! I’m not sure how many of you remember these little guys, but Origami Fortune Tellers were ALL over school when I was a kid. There is even one featured in the intro to the show, Community (bonus points if you knew that already). If you’ve ever wanted to make your own, now’s the time to learn and I’ll be more than happy to share my secrets! Continue reading Origami with The Husband: Fortune Teller

How To Turn Your T-Shirt In To A Pillow

Project: How To Turn Your T-Shirt In To A Pillow

The other day, I caught the Husband trying to throw out an old t-shirt of his. It got a small bleach stain on it which is pretty much the end of an article of clothing. Still, I rescued it from garbage can heaven and gave it two new reasons to live! Half the shirt I used to make t-shirt yarn, while the other half was used to make a pillow! My sister also loves the same silly anime things that Husband does (sorry, I just don’t see the appeal!), so I knew she’d love this pillow for her bed. It was very easy and I’m thinking of making a few pillows for my bed now too, using shrunken Woot tees and old band shirts! Continue reading How To Turn Your T-Shirt In To A Pillow

How to Clean a Hairbrush

How to Clean a Hairbrush!

You are supposed to clean your hairbrush once a month, but it’s one of those things that I completely forget about until I notice a golf ball sized amount of hair in it. Then I pull out the hair, throw it in the trash, the cat fishes it out to play with it and I’m completely disgusted that I let it go that long between cleanings (Yes, that really did just happen. Yes, it really grossed me out too.) Cleaning your hairbrush is a super simple process, so why not take a few minutes and care for yours now! Continue reading How to Clean a Hairbrush
