As part of the Home Depot ProSpective campaign we got jackets! Not just any jackets, but heated jackets that run on batteries. 

We thought we'd have a little fun with this "tool" hence the "fashion show!" We felt just a little self-conscious walking the sidewalk runway outside my house! But it was super fun so we had to do it. 

Enjoy!

Can you use a stand alone sign in your home? Perhaps for a special menu, welcome, wi-fi password notice for guests? In this post, we're sharing how we created a couple of scroll saw projects for an event display. These were specific to our needs, but can be adapted for use in your own home.

When Surebonder asked us if we would like to participate in challenge as a way of promoting their new cord-free detail hot glue gun, we couldn't say yes fast enough! We've worked with Surebonder on a number of occasions and use their products in a lot of our projects, so we knew this would be a good fit!

For the challenge, they sent us a curated box of "stuff" which we had to use at least seven of the items in some creative way. Below is the assortment of "stuff" we received! We decided to make the pallet wood the star of the show and developed an idea from that.

​Are there any Harry Potter fans out there? Steph and her friends are so when they took a trip to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, they needed holsters for their wands!

Steph found a picture of a holster and asked if I could make it. Since I already had leather working tools, I said I'd try. 

Using the picture as a guide, I sketched up a design in a word processing program and then made a full size model of felt. That worked, so it was on to creating in leather. 

Take a look at this Fast DIY from Workshop Wednesday.
