"I am helping my son and daughter-in-law to paint their kitchen cabinets and they have alot of them and it is taking FOREVER to finish. I will use a paint sprayer for now on but I was afraid to try it and now I see this tutorial and for now on this is the way it will be done. I never thought it was that easy to use a paint sprayer. Any other projects will be done this way because you can save alot of money doing it yourself. Check out this tutorial if you are not sure how to use one."

"I have never heard of using vingar to stain new wood but it sounds good when you want that aged wood effect but do not want to risk using wood that may have termites or not strong fro aging itself. This blogger gives some great pointers that she figuredout when doing it herself and how different vinegars give it a different look and this is great to know when wanting a certain look. If you are wanting that look then you need to check out this tutorial."

"Oh Wow you have got to check out this tutorial on making a twine wrapped storage box using a diaper box. This looks so neat. I love it and you can use other size boxes too to make it whatever size you need. All you have to have is the box,some fabric(which I am sure you have in stash pile )and twine which you can get at the dollar store. These will look great anywhere. They can cost alot in stores so why not DIY some yourself."

"I need something long to put some of my sewing supplies in as my sewing machine is in my living room and I keep all my sewing and craft supplies there and it looks a mess. I was going to build one with wood but I like this idea alot better. I want to make a llong one that is not wide and I can control the size I want. You can even use a fabric from another project. Great idea. Since it is going to be long what can I use instead of interfacing?"

"Have you ever wanted to do your own nail art to save on the money you pay to go to a salon but they seemed like it would take a long time then check this simple geometric design that is so easy anyone could do it. I love that she used a light color of pink on the base coat to make nails look natural. You can go one step further and add a rhinestone in the middle. So fast to do too. So save yourself some money and do it yourself."

You can never have too many storage baskets lying around your home. But I can promise you, you've never seen a storage idea like this one. This Repurposed Fan DIY Storage Basket will not only hold your belongings, but it'll hang from the ceiling! This storage basket won't take up precious counter space like many others do and will look very unique hanging from your ceiling. If you're not a fan (pun intended) of the color fan you're using, take some spray paint and transform it into a metallic color. Happy crafting!

I was just about to throw out a broken fan when I decided to do a quick online search to see if it could be reused. I'm so glad I found this! I think this basket would work perfectly as a place to store fruit in the kitchen so it doesn't get crushed by other things. Thanks for the idea!

I don't know about this idea. It really looks junky. Maybe it would work in a garage but I don't know about someone's home. It would not work for me since I am short and don't like to do a lot of climbing. I will show it to my significant other and see if that would work for the garage. It could hold some odds and ends.

I wish I had that fan I got rid of a little while ago! This is a great idea and even if you didn't hang them, they could be used for storage containers. It would be fun to paint one an appropriate color and use it as a decorative container for odds and ends or seasonal decorations like pine cones or plastic Easter eggs.

I love this idea. I've got several torn up fans in the garage,(I never throw anything away!) but I'd never thought to make storage baskets with them. This is why I love this site and the sister sites. So many wonderful, fun and easy crafts, and this is definitely one I'll make soon!
