Easy Accessory Holder

     It really doesn't get much easier than this craft.  The cost is minimal too.  If you're looking for a way to store your accessories, this may just be the craft for you.

Materials:
*Coat hanger
*Shower curtain rings
*Washi tape (optional)

Directions:
*To jazz up a plain coat hanger, wrap in washi tape, if you'd like.
*Clip shower curtain rings around the coat hanger and hang your accessories from these rings.  That's it!
*Depending on the weight of your accessories, you may want to use a nail to hold it up, but I've actually gotten by just fine using a thumbtack.

Easy Duct Tape Bookmark

     Don't throw away those old envelopes.  Turn them into bookmarks with a little duct tape.  If you liked my monster bookmarks and heart bookmark tutorial, this craft may be right up your alley.

Materials:
*Duct tape
*Envelope
*Scissors

Directions:
*Cut off a strip of duct tape and place it diagonally across one corner of your envelope.  This should be fairly straightforward if you're using solid colored duct tape, but if you are using patterned duct tape and want a particular part of the tape on the bookmark, it gets a little trickier.  I left the very tip of my bookmark untaped so I could fit the whole owl on there.
*Trim off excess duct tape, making sure not to cut open the sides of the envelope.
*Cut the corner of the envelope off along the bottom edge of the duct tape to create your bookmark.
*For a double sided bookmark, add a second strip of duct tape to the back of the bookmark and then cut off the excess tape.  You can use the same duct tape as you used for the front side or you can mix things up by adding a different color or pattern.

Bobby Pin Duct Tape Bow

Materials:
*Duct tape in two different colors/patterns
*Bobby pin
*Scissors

Directions:
*Cut off a piece of duct tape as long as you would like your bow to be in the color that you want your bow to be.

*Fold tape in half.

*Cut off a piece of duct tape in the second color as the first and then cut off a strip of that piece about 1/2" in thickness.

*Place this strip along the center of the strip that is to become the bow.

*Cut off another strip, also about half an inch in width, and set it aside.
*Pinch the duct tape in the center as demonstrated in the picture below to create the bow shape.

*Wrap the strip of duct tape around the center.

*Cut off a shorter, thinner strip of tape and secure the bobby pin to the back of the bow.  Make sure it is well secured (or perhaps use glue or some other method of adhering it.  I tried glue first, but could not get it to work as I wanted it to, so I went with duct tape), as the last thing you want is duct tape stuck in your hair.
