"Did you have a hard day at work. Kids fighing. Need some calm in your life. Why not whip up a DIY calming spray to spritz around the room. Lavender is such a calming spray and smells good too. You can also make a spray to keep colds away or bugs. I love my essential oils and these sprays are so easy to make. Just make sure you research if they are harmful to pets before using. You can alternate the oils to find one that is not."

"I would love to use makeup remover pads but they are so expensive and they have so many chemicals in them. This is a great way to save money and cntrol what you put on your face so it is a win win for me. You can get the cotton pads at the dollar store too. I use Frankensence on my face already so I have that on hand. You can also use tea tree too. Make sure they are pure 100% oils.What oil is your favorite to use on your face?"

"My daughter and granddaughter uses so much chap sticks and I am always concerned about what is in them so I am going to make some homemade ones. They love the candy ane ones that come out at Christmas so I think I will make pepprmint ones but I like the idea you can make different flavors.These are so easy to make and you can make them in tins or lip balm containers. They will make great gift ideas too. i think I will use beeswax instead of the petroleum jellyas I am not to found of the ingredients in it. Thanks for thegreat idea."

"Do you want a body oil that i somethinng none of your friends or coworkers have and love the smell of vanilla then why not try out this vanila clove body oil. People will be trying to find out who has it and where it came from. Make some for gift ideas too. So simple and easy to do and you can even add in some extra oils or carrier oils. I just love these homemade ideas."

"Making homemade soap is on my list to do and after reading this I have got to try it. It seemed like it would take a long time to do but now it looks so easy. I love to control what will be going on my family to keep chemicals off. You do have to make sure the oils are 100% pure therpudic grade and make sure you can use that certain one. I use On Guard every day and so does my grandkids but never used it in soaps. Great idea."

From the blogger: "This has to be one of the best IKEA hacks ever. Combined an IKEA crate with some IKEA casters and a pair of jeans to create this awesome ottoman. Not only is this a nifty piece of furniture with some super handy storage, but it can be personalized, too. You can stencil your family name on the side of the crate. This, combined with the upholstered denim seat, add to the lovely vintage industrial farmhouse look. This killer combination of extra seating and storage in one would look great in any den or teen bedroom as well as the main living room."

A few years ago I bought a lovely old crate with a view to finding a good use for it one day. Well it finally seems that the day finally arrived. I will use some hand designed mud cloth (a project elsewhere on this site) for the upholstery and it is going to be really good.

I like this DIY Denim IKEA Crate Footstool with Storage idea. I'm thinking of doing this project with a old milk crate I bought at a flea market. I have sanded down the crate and haven't done anything with it. This would work will and I'll have a nice storage/foot stool for my family room. I have a enough wood stain left over from doing the wood trim in my family room so now I can have a matching footstool. Thank you so much for sharing this free DIY idea that I'll be doing.

Very practical and creative idea for a foot stool! I love that it has caster wheels which makes it so nice to move around! Using denim is a good choice because it wears so well, but I could see the cushion done in any type of canvas fabric, or even fabric that is covered in an iron on protective vinyl which I have used successfully on bar stools. Great project!
