The Multi Mom: 10 Cool Things #1

This is the first time that I'll be listing the top "10 Cool Things" that I had added to my Facebook and Pinterest pages within the last week. However, because this is the first time I'm doing this, I'll be listing more than just 10, obviously, since I've been adding pictures for a while, now. Why did I decide to call it that? Because I hope to AT LEAST put up 10 cool things a week that I've found around the internet. I figured that 10 isn't asking a lot of my time, and gives you a nice variety in the process ;-)

And of course, if you want to get these up-to-date, instead of waiting until the end of the week, you can always follow me here:

Take different kinds of picture frames, add a fancy background, and then glue on painted letters of your family name. I definitely plan to do this one over our shoe rack!

Put rubber bands over your vases and spray the outside of them with some frosty glass spray paint. VERY classy!

Use teabags and other natural materials for fabric dyes.

Put glass marbles into the holes of a fence. Dazzling!

Super cute idea :-D Especially as a momento for vacations involving nature, just jut because! Take some stones of various sizes and make little feet with them.

I've got to try making this some time. What a way to upcycle a bottle into a nightlight, and it's super easy to make, too! Just take a clear bottle, glue glass gems to it, and add lights inside.

A great way to make custom candles! Draw a design onto tissue paper, cut out the design, place it onto a candle, cover with wax paper, and heat up with a blowdryer. Peel the wax paper off. If the design doesn't stick, recover it and heat it again. When you are done, you'll have these charming custom-made candles!

Put "peel and stick" tiles under your sink cabinets to help prevent leak damage. It's also much easier to clean up spilled household chemicals this way, rather than having them soak into the wood.

Turn an unused closet space into a reading nook! Add bedding and pillows for comfort, crown molding for decoration, and you can create this lovely setting, made perfect for relaxation and escaping to worlds unknown!

I absolutely LOVE this "family tree" idea to display your family photos! I definitely want to try it out in my home some time.

Using rain gutters, you can create shelves that are perfect for holding books. Add a little bean bag or small chair, and you have an instant reading corner!

Need an easy way to organize your markers? Pens? Pencils? Maybe even crayons? Use an idea like this, that has glasses on a wine rack. Afraid your child might get hold of the glasses and break them? Some stores sell plastic cups that look like these, as well.

Store sheet sets in their pillow cases. That way, everything is in one place, and you don't have to hunt down all the pieces of the set!

Start the year with an empty jar and fill it with notes about good things that happen. on New Years Eve, empty it and see what awesome stuff happened that year!
