"I love my essential oils and use them every day. This DIY Facial Serum really does work. I have been using it for about 3 months months now and it has helped heal my skin. My fine lines look smoother and some are gone! You only need a few drops at a time and a bottle of this mixture will last. Love this, thank you for sharing this facial serum recipe."

"I have always wanted to put a door organizer in my kitchen but I do not like the plastic ones. This wood version is a great one and I like that you can make it to size you want and paint too. This can even be used under bathroom sinks or craft room. Super easy to make too."

"Do you hate to throw out those old fans that do not work and need some storage baskets in a craft room or garage then here is a very inexpensive one. I would paint it and you can even use an odd hanger from a planter. You can do 1,2,3 or whatever amount of baskets you need. Neat idea."

"This outdoor bench to put on the deck is a great alternitive then the store bought pieces. I have wanted somrthing like this because it uses the space wisley and everyone can sit together, You can make it all around the deck or just a little and you can control that. I love that it slants on the top. I would make some pretty cushions and pillows to put on the bench too."

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!
