The circles can be as big or as small as you want, but keep in mind that the bigger the circles, the quicker you'll finish (learned this the hard way :)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_PXTD06AQWiI/TJd3J3tm7SI/AAAAAAAAAKo/1PeaXjHpi60/s1600/petal.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="98" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_PXTD06AQWiI/TJd3J3tm7SI/AAAAAAAAAKo/1PeaXjHpi60/s400/petal.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">STEP 2: Once you have your circles cut, you can start making your petals/ruffles. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">How-to: Fold a circle in half, then fold the half circle to make a quarter. Using a dab of glue at the fold, hold the petal together.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_PXTD06AQWiI/TJo1-AWCDfI/AAAAAAAAAK4/Guo4jG0TAl8/s1600/IMG_7079.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_PXTD06AQWiI/TJo1-AWCDfI/AAAAAAAAAK4/Guo4jG0TAl8/s400/IMG_7079.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">You can make all the petals at once, and get them ready to glue on your surface, or you can glue as you go.

</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I was waaaay too lazy to cover the other side, but here's what I learned doing this: 1) Use larger sized circles! It'll make it go a whole lot faster! 2) Don't space the petals too close together, again, so it all goes a little faster 3) Use lighter/less weighty fabric 4) Don't lay down the petals in the same way/direction. Alternate it, so you have a fuller effect at the end. All in all, a fun diy, if a little time consuming. I'll def be trying this again soon!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: auto;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I am ALWAYS looking for interesting ways to store my jewelry so it doesn't all end up in a huge heap on my dresser. I kept thinking of something portable that I could hang inside a closet door or on the wall, something with handles for necklaces and holes for earrings, and I knew I would have to make it myself.... so I googled 'necklace holder' or ''earring organizer' or something one day, and came across a LOT of fellow crafty gals with similar ideas. I loved the concept of using a photo frame because that solves the portability issue and you can determine what size works best for you. Soooo, I decided to create my own version of the photo frame - jewelry holder/organizer. Instead of using mesh like a lot of the diy's I came across, I decided to use cork, and it turned out fab, if I do say so myself :) </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: auto;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: auto;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;">Advantage to creating your own jewelry organizer? </span></span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: auto;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: auto;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">You can customize it to suit the type of baubles you own. If like me, you wear a lot of hoops and dangling earrings, you need something with enough room to both store and showcase your pieces, so you don't end up wearing the same pieces over and over again cos you can't see what you have</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: auto;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: auto;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I got the photo frame at the Game (Palms Shopping mall), I've had the cork sheet about 3 years or more from Pearl Paint, and I got the mini hooks/screws at the Game as well. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: auto;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: auto;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Added bonus - it took less than an hour.

The glass isn't going to be part of the finished product, so i'm saving it for another DIY project. At this point you only need the mat frame.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_PXTD06AQWiI/TICJk2HT_rI/AAAAAAAAAH8/gY0SWFf5Q1Y/s1600/mat.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_PXTD06AQWiI/TICJk2HT_rI/AAAAAAAAAH8/gY0SWFf5Q1Y/s400/mat.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">STEP 2: To 'pretty-up' it up, I decided to wrap the mat frame with decorative paper (the paper I ended up using is different from the one pictured above). So placing the mat frame on my paper (both face-down), I cut a .75 -1 inch border around the frame.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_PXTD06AQWiI/TICJmfbbk4I/AAAAAAAAAIA/nqddPuZA7bs/s1600/mat2.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_PXTD06AQWiI/TICJmfbbk4I/AAAAAAAAAIA/nqddPuZA7bs/s320/mat2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Step 3: Secure the mat to the decorative sheet with a little tape, to stop it from moving around</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">and draw an 'X' using the opposite corners of the rectangle on the inside of the frame</div><br />

This 5-minute DIY is all about up-cycling. While clearing out a drawer the other day, I came across this black see-through sleeve - the packaging of a watch I bought ages ago. I figured it would make a nice mini wallet, and decided to jazz it up and make it more fun to look at. So with some trimming, a hot glue gun and a large flat-back stone, here's what I did:</span></span></div><div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(105, 15, 165); line-height: 18px; font-family:Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif;font-size:-webkit-xxx-large;"><div style="text-align: center; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">STEPS:</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">1.

Glued it on.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">4.
