i recently discovered a new found respect for headbands. they can instantly take your bed head to a casual, comfy and guest-appropriate look. i can’t believe i haven’t been relying on them longer (haha)! this easy diy from fine and feathered especially caught my eye. no sewing needed!

now maybe i can put some of my many fabric scraps to good use. and i’m sure my post-gal will appreciate it, too!

visit fine & feathered to see more of this diy, & make sure to check out her other’s as well!

aren’t we always trying to find ways to use up our scraps? that last 4 inches of lace that we simply can’t throw away?  visit a few of these ideas below and you’ll be scrap-free in  no time!

utterly engaged just released their 3rd issue, and this month they featured a great diy tutorial on beautiful gift wrapping and card making.

some extra inspiration? flickr photos show us the results of a pretty cool ‘lovely package swap‘. what a great idea!

i always try to use recycled, or otherwise landfill-bound goodies to wrap my gifts with (sorry everyone)- but by adding some fresh fabric scraps and some yarn or stickers- you can literally turn drab into fab!

do you have any ideas? share with us any tips or pics! hope to see you back here on monday! xo, bonnie
