     The challenge is getting creative with what you already have to make what works best for you.

Here are a few of my successful project so far.

 Leftover wood & hooks for some much needed storage.

        

Dollar store trivet for earing storage.

 Folded fabric to make a ring organizer. 

A dish & small doweling glued & strapped together with copper wire makes an excellent jewelry holder.

Finding another use for shelf brackets. It turns out they are perfect for hanging cloths.

      

             
Using left over peel and stick wallpaper to line the back of shelves & the inside of drawers.

 

Embroidery thread makes these earrings super light.

  

Wood, paper, mod podge & an idea.

      

A dollar store frame & 2 sheets of cork.

.    

 Wall art made from the leftovers from previous projects.

                  
Two small rugs made into pillow covers. I didn't have any material that I could use but I did have lots of elastic.

Using clear hooks & a small doweling for jewelry storage on the side of a dresser.

Taking a plain rug & adding some interest with embroidery thread.

                        



                         
                       A decorative way to hide an inexpensive dollar store battery light.


                        

                        
                                        Making two dollar store drawers into one.



                       

                       

                                           Using doweling to hide and organize.

    There are times too when you need to figure out how to solve several issues at once and do it on a budget.  This is where Pinterest has helped me to come up with some ideas of my own.

Window pet perch & storage.

   

End of the bed storage bench with pet bed.

Hidden litter box because it's not a pretty addition to any room.

Small bathroom storage with feet.

Partially supported on the bed frame & attached to the wall. This extra storage was amazing.

   

Latter on I added another row of storage.

                                            

 Hidden pull out storage in front of headboard.

Customized puppy pen.

Temporary safe puppy space.

Removable window air filter.

Taking an old planter and making it into a sturdy umbrella holder.

 And finally there is just the fun stuff like Holiday crafts. Most of them turn out really well (and yes sadly there are some that don't) but I thought I would share some of the ones that did turn out.  

Using leftovers from the dollar store & 2 old dryer balls.

A dollars store outdoor lantern with lights & Christmas decorations. (I was originally going to paint it white but ran out of time.)

Scandinavian inspired ornaments.

                         

                                      

                      Covering a wreath with an old sweater, adding lights and a little decoration.

                          

                Adding a personal touch of homemade ornaments to a simple Christmas swag.
