Hanging Hemp Lamps
Balls of wrapped hemp to use as lamp shades on hanging lamps. I'll probably figure out a way to do this on standing lamps when I try it out.

Make a wishlist scroll for your kids to hang on the tree. No tutorial, but it won't be hard to figure out.

Just a bunch of everything
I found this because I found a craft on there and it said there were 141 posts on crafts! I decided I would just look at all of the craft posts and go from there.

DIY notepad
I will absolutely be making this next, especially because it's so cheap to make. It's a do it yourself notepad, and I have a lot of magnetic strip left over.

Little Black Dress
This is an item on etsy, but I want to make this out of a sheet because of all the extra material. Anywho, here's the idea.

Wreath Tips
This is a little tip for making wreaths. I won't use coffee filters because I think that looks weird, but I want to make a ton of wreaths... at least one per season.

Chalkboard Menu
I have actually made chalkboard things before, and I have a canister of chalkboard spray paint in my apartment waiting to be used. I don't think I'll use an actual piece of furniture, but I like how cute this looks. :]

Cute owl canvas
This is an item on etsy, but it makes me want to paint cute things like this. I think I might make some of these for christmas. And the nice thing is, with mostly shapes and outlines, there's little need for artistic ability.

DIY Dry Shampoo
I've never tried dry shampoo, but I know the premise. I think this would be really cool to make, but I'm worried about finding the ingredients because this recipe is organic. I'm going to try it sometime though. :]

These are a bunch of ideas for building under your stairs. Hopefully, I will be able to build my dream house and do whatever I want with the bottom of the stairs.

DIY Decoupage
Do it yourself decoupage because modpodge can get really expensive... especially when you keep losing it like I do. I have at least three bottles in my apartment. Now, I'm just going to do this. :]

Creme Brulee Cupcakes
My boyfriend and I love creme brulee so much, his parents bought me a torch. These cupcakes still require the torch, but I think they sound absolutely delicious.

Balloon Spider
The actual link to this is expired, but the image is still on pinterest. If it goes away, this is basically what it is: In the corner of a room, place a black balloon up by the ceiling and secure it there. Use that party paper tape that normally goes around doors and borders for the arms and legs. I think it seems pretty cute. :]

Baked Mac and Cheese
My boyfriend and I will be making some version of this... probably when my parents visit. I think it sounds delicious, but I'll be making some yummy changes. :]

I want to make this for when I have my family because I think this is a really great way to make a family game more interactive. :]

Cookies and Cream Brownies
For a second, I thought this was a soap bar because I've seen a lot of cookies-and-cream-looking soaps. But food is definitely more amazing. I can't wait to try these.

Edible Acorns!
These are absolutely adorable and are probably going to get made for Thanksgiving as finger food. :]
It says for peanut allergies to use ritz bitz. Ritz bitz still has peanut butter in the middle, but I'm not sure how artificial the flavor is. I suggest using something else instead, like a nilla wafer (even though that might be too big) or just plain mini crackers. OH! Or the vanilla cookies they always have in vending machines!

Cheesecake filled Strawberries
I'm posting this mostly for my boyfriend, but I have a feeling that I could mix in a lot more powdered sugar so I could like it too.

Lasagna timpano
Or what I will call, Lasagna cake. I think it looks delicious, but I REFUSE to read all of the directions given because the blogger doesn't know powerpoint 101. But I think this would be something amazing to make.
... just kidding. My computer hadn't loaded the white background so it was impossible to read, but now I see it isn't bad. Still gonna have my own take on the recipe though. ;]

Stumbled upon this, and I can't wait to try it, especially because it's such an easy tutorial. I'm thinking a Tardis is in the works...

Kiss Pies
These remind me of the cupid's pillows recipe that my boyfriend and I love, except no fruit and extra sugar! I will absolutely be making these VERY soon. And by very, I mean hopefully within the next month. :P

I just found this on pinterest. I'm not sure I like the website, but I'm definitely interested in using it the way I use stumbleupon. :]
Anywho: the link.

A Fair Warning
I feel the need to warn people. The stumbleupon I use to find tutorials and craft ideas, here, does not distinguish. It's tutorials, ideas, images, items for sale, and all other kinds of randomness put together. As of right now, I'm not distinguishing. I will go back later and do that for you because I know how annoying that is.
But FAIR WARNING: As of right now, they are not labeled as tutorials or as ideas.
HOWEVER, if you pay attention to the crafting blog, you'll notice when the ideas pop up over there. I'm either rewriting the tutorial as I do it myself, or I'm making a tutorial modeled off of something I saw.
I noticed this as I was adding the links, so I figured I'd warn you so you didn't get your hopes up too much. Comment on either the crafting or the findings blog if you want to see a specific craft. Or take the poll if there's one in there that you really like. :]

Internet Findings
I made this blog because my bookmarks are getting a little crazy. Yes, I know I just said that. Don't believe me? Here, let me show you just how insane this is.
How about now? Yeah, and you can't even see the long stuff in those. The top one is about three times the length you can see, and the bottom one... well there's some in each of those little folders. Understand the craziness? Okay, moving on.
I got tired of not knowing what the links actually were, not being able to sort them (my computer wouldn't let me sort the insanely long list), and then having too much once I had sorted them! Some belong in more than one folder, some don't really belong in any folder, some repeat others... It's just one big mess that I'm tired of trying to deal with.
And I even try to make it harder on myself. When I'm bored during the downtime of tutoring, I end up going on a stumbleupon my friend showed me and looking at all of her lovely links. It's bad. I end up getting more links to save for later, and my bookmarks seem to double every time.
So this is my solution. I'll be putting all of my links on here and commenting on the really cool ones I notice. Feel free to just look at my posted ones or to browse for yourself. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do... but don't procrastinate with them like I do. It's not healthy. :P
