I have been sewing and crafting for several years, my children are grown so now I have lots of time to be creative. I enjoy photography, cooking, cake decorating, painting and sharing my projects with others.

This is a wonderful idea! Between the different color combinations and quotes or poems, the possibilities are endless. Applying a bit of super glue on the end of the string is great advice too!

I really like this idea. I think plastic canvas (made for yarn projects) would be good to use instead of the plastic piece, it's flexible, inexpensive and cuts easily with scissors.

We made a Festivus pole very similar to this one. During the rest of the year you can add some coat hooks to the top of the pole. Attach them with poster putty, then tightly wrap a couple of zip ties around them. It will be very handy and functional.A very Happy Festivus to you and yours!

I live in a small town in New Mexico, had never heard of this until I watched an episode of "Flaked" on Netflix. I followed the directions and it turned out good! I made a holder for my jar.
