"I use the coconut oil to make my essential oil blends or for the ones that are considered hot oils or when using on kids. I also used it for my dry skin and hands. I also use in my hair every so many months. I did not know you could use for so many things. It makes me love it even more."

"Wow what a great idea and another good way to recycle mason jars. There are all good ingredients in this liquid soap so I will be adding this to my list.I love making my own so I know what is in it and I think I will make some with lavender oil and maybe some with frankensence oil. This handsoap will make a good hosewarming gift too."

"WOW take a look at these cute sling back flip flops made with hot glue and knit fabric and so simple to make. Why pay the high prices for these in the stores and settle for what is left when you can make them the way you want and design your own. You can even dress up ones you all ready have. What great gifts these will make for your family and friends too. I never knew they were so easy to make."

"Are you that person that loves to decorate with fun things around the house then you have got to check out this uphostered chair with colored jeans. Is this not super cool. You can reuphoster one you have around the house or pick one up at yard sale or thrift store cheap the same as the jeans. This is a good tutorial to show you how and it is super easy."

I love this! I have an ugly straight back chair with a nice design but ugly upholstery, and I've been wanting to re-do it. Great guidance!

Great idea and instructions! I recovered 6 dining room chair seats and also 4 bar stools! For the bar stools I actually used large cotton napkins and sewed them together making sides and then ironed on vinyl sheeting to keep them waterproof. For the chairs I made self cording! Came out great! Thanks for sharing !

I need to reupholster my kitchen chairs, so finding this couldnt have come at a better time. I have done this before, but it was many years ago. A refresher is always nice. I already have my vinyl and my tools. Now I just need to find my motivation and I will be all set!

Our dining chairs have been needing recovering for over 2 years now. I thought it would be very difficult to recover ourselves and its costly to pay someone else to do it so we have just lived with them as they are and tried not to look at them. Now that I see how simple it is and that you dont have to be a carpenter or an upholsterer to do it yourself I will be going to buy the fabric as soon as the store opens on Monday morning!
