<p>From  one  &#8220;crafty&#8221;  person  to  another,  here  are  a  bunch  of  ideas  to  undertake  out  while  you&#8217;re  crafting  or  sewing  to  make  your  life  a  bit  easier,  and  to  save  a  bit  of  cash  and  time  in  the  process.</p>
<p>1.	Use  inexpensive  index  cards  to  staple  on  fabric  swatches  or  ribbon;  very  handy  to  take  with  you  to  your  fabric  or  craft  shop.</p>
<p>2.	Old  pillowcases  make  handy  cover-ups  for  children!  Cut  out  a  big  hole  for  the  head  and  two  littler  holes  for  the  arms  and  just  slip  over  their  heads.  They  may  even  embellish  them  with  tie-dye,  fabric  paint  or  iron-ons.</p>
<p>3.	If  you  use  rubber  stamps  for  your  projects,  clean  them  with  a  mild  detergent  after  each  use,  making  sure  you  keep  the  wood  constituents  dry.  Use  a  paper  towel  to  arid  the  stamp  and  then  store  them  with  the  stamp  side  down,  away  from  direct  sunlight.</p>
<p>4.	Large  bottle  caps  make  handy  disposable  containers  for  paints  or  glue.</p>
<p>5.	Use  a  toothpick  to  apply  glue  to  a  little  part;  less  &#8220;glue-y&#8221;  fingers!</p>
<p>6.	A  damp  Q-tip  may  pick  up  little  items  such  as  seed  beads  or  rhinestones.</p>
<p>7.	Keep  a  magnet  handy  in  case  you  drop  needles  or  pins  on  the  floor.</p>
<p>8.	A  coffee  may  is  great  for  storing  balls  of  yarn  when  crocheting  or  knitting.  Simply  punch  a  hole  in  the  coffee  may  lid  and  poke  the  yarn  up  through  and  out;  then  close  the  lid.</p>
<p>9.	Use  cardboard  emery  boards  as  sandpaper  for  little  parts  or  areas  where  regular  sanders  or  files  will  not  reach.</p>
<p>10.	Shred  your  leftover  wrapping  paper  to  make  beauteous  &#8220;stuffing&#8221;  for  gift  baskets  and  bags.</p>
<p>11.	Use  your  lint  roller  around  your  sewing  table  to  pick  up  bits  of  thread.</p>
<p>12.	Don&#8217;t  toss  out  that  old  plastic  tablecloth  when  you  buy  a  new  one.  Use  the  old  one  as  a  table  protector  when  crafting.</p>
<p>13.	For  more prominent  projects,  use  an  old  plastic  shower  curtain  as  a  drop  cloth  or  cut  it  into  littler  table  protectors.</p>
<p>14.	Tweezers  make  outstanding  holders  for  those  little  parts  you&#8217;re  attempting  to  glue  or  paint.  Less  glue  and  paint  on  fingers.</p>
<p>15.	Lubricate  the  tip  of  your  needle  before  sewing  by  pushing  it  into  a  sliver  of  soap.</p>
<p>16.	Keep  a  roll  of  paper  towels  on  your  worktable  to  clean  up  spills,  wipe  your  hands  and  even  to  use  for  creating  texture  in  your  paintings.</p>
<p>17.	Use  an  old  coffee  may  sitting  in  a  pot  or  pan  of  hot  water  on  the  burner  to  melt  leftover  pieces  of  candles.  Make  sure  you  handle  the  hot  coffee  may  with  oven  mitts.  Add  an  old  candle,  the  long,  tapered  kind,  to  a  cardboard  milk  carton.  Add  ice  and  then  the  melted  wax.  After  the  candle  is  set,  tear  away  the  carton  over  your  sink  to  drain  the  water  and  you&#8217;ll  have  a  distinguishable  &#8220;Swiss  cheese&#8221;  candle  to  use.  You  may  toss  out  the  coffee  may  after  it is  use.  No  worrying  when it comes to  cleaning  a  pot  with  wax  residue.</p>
<p>18.	Use  an  old  (or  new!)  fishing  case,  with  all  it is  a good deal of  compartments,  for  your  little  craft  parts.</p>
<p>19.	Hate  throwing  away  the  last  sliver  of  soap?  Break  it  up  into  pieces  and  place  in  a  rubber  baking  mold.  Melt  more  soap,  either  left  over  or  purchased  inexpensive  soap,  cool  somewhat  so  it  won&#8217;t  melt  your  soap  bits  and  pour  into  mold,  let  harden  and  pop  your  new  soap  out  of  the  mold!</p>
<p>20.	Tape  a  little  plastic  grocery  bag  or  a  little  paper  bag  to  your  sewing  table  so  it  hangs  over  the  side.  Handy  for  tossing  out  bits  of  cut  thread  and  fabric  scraps.</p>
<p>21.	A  little  metal  parts  cabinet  (the  kind  for  bolts,  nails  and  screws,  etc.)  is  great  for  storing  little  crafts  elements  and  sewing  items.  I  even  have  two  of  them  housing  all  my  earrings  and  necklaces  &#8211;  one  or  more  drawers  for  each  color!</p>
<p>These  were  just  some  of  the  handy  hints  I&#8217;ve  applied  over  the  years.  There  are  TONS  more  out  there  which  may  result  in  &#8220;Handy  Craft  Tips  Two&#8221;  &#8211;  hey,  you  never  know&#8230;stay  tuned!

The one that arrived was blue and had the recycling logo on it (as described). It is perfect for what I needed! It holds the plastic grocery bags as a liner very nicely..</p>

In fact, it&#8217;s the only reason I bought it. I wanted to teach my son that recycling is important and this one was the one to do it. But when it came, it was just a normal bin with the recycling logo.  It&#8217;s a dollar or so more than the other plain bins so I&#8217;m kinda upset about it.</p>

It is a little had to punch through card stock &#8211; kids may need help &#8211; It does make some beautiful punches and they are great for confetti</p>

Very heavy, which I guess to some is a plus, but for kids, no.  The butterflies are very, very small, smaller than expected.  But I purchased it at 50% off, so its a keeper&#8230; seldom used, but a keeper.  I probably will be very hesitant buying Martha Stewart again unless I can find one that can be used on card stock.  In the meantime, I have other brands that do a great job and will probably go back to the &#8220;other&#8221; brand.</p>

<p>From  one  &#8220;crafty&#8221;  person  to  another,  here  are  a  bunch  of  ideas  to  try  out  while  you&#8217;re  crafting  or  sewing  to  make  your  life  a  bit  easier,  and  to  save  a  bit  of  cash  and  time  in  the  process.</p>
<p>1.	Use  inexpensive  index  cards  to  staple  on  fabric  swatches  or  ribbon;  very  handy  to  take  with  you  to  your  fabric  or  craft  shop.</p>
<p>2.	Old  pillowcases  make  handy  cover-ups  for  children!  Cut  out  a  big  hole  for  the  head  and  two  littler  holes  for  the  arms  and  just  slip  over  their  heads.  They  may  even  decorate  them  with  tie-dye,  fabric  paint  or  iron-ons.</p>
<p>3.	If  you  use  rubber  stamps  for  your  projects,  clean  them  with  a  mild  detergent  after  each  use,  making  sure  you  keep  the  wood  constituents  dry.  Use  a  paper  towel  to  arid  the  stamp  and  then  store  them  with  the  stamp  side  down,  away  from  direct  sunlight.</p>
<p>4.	Large  bottle  caps  make  handy  disposable  containers  for  paints  or  glue.</p>
<p>5.	Use  a  toothpick  to  utilize  glue  to  a  little  part;  less  &#8220;glue-y&#8221;  fingers!</p>
<p>6.	A  damp  Q-tip  may  pick  up  little  items  such  as  seed  beads  or  rhinestones.</p>
<p>7.	Keep  a  magnet  handy  in  case  you  drop  needles  or  pins  on  the  floor.</p>
<p>8.	A  coffee  may  is  great  for  storing  balls  of  yarn  when  crocheting  or  knitting.  Simply  punch  a  hole  in  the  coffee  may  lid  and  poke  the  yarn  up  through  and  out;  then  close  the  lid.</p>
<p>9.	Use  cardboard  emery  boards  as  sandpaper  for  little  parts  or  areas  where  regular  sanders  or  files  will  not  reach.</p>
<p>10.	Shred  your  leftover  wrapping  paper  to  make  finelooking  &#8220;stuffing&#8221;  for  gift  baskets  and  bags.</p>
<p>11.	Use  your  lint  roller  around  your  sewing  table  to  pick  up  bits  of  thread.</p>
<p>12.	Don&#8217;t  toss  out  that  old  plastic  tablecloth  when  you  buy  a  new  one.  Use  the  old  one  as  a  table  protector  when  crafting.</p>
<p>13.	For  more spectacular  projects,  use  an  old  plastic  shower  curtain  as  a  drop  cloth  or  cut  it  into  littler  table  protectors.</p>
<p>14.	Tweezers  make  great  holders  for  those  little  elements  you&#8217;re  attempting  to  glue  or  paint.  Less  glue  and  paint  on  fingers.</p>
<p>15.	Lubricate  the  tip  of  your  needle  before  sewing  by  pushing  it  into  a  sliver  of  soap.</p>
<p>16.	Keep  a  roll  of  paper  towels  on  your  worktable  to  clean  up  spills,  wipe  your  hands  and  even  to  use  for  creating  texture  in  your  paintings.</p>
<p>17.	Use  an  old  coffee  may  sitting  in  a  pot  or  pan  of  hot  water  on  the  burner  to  melt  leftover  pieces  of  candles.  Make  sure  you  handle  the  hot  coffee  may  with  oven  mitts.  Add  an  old  candle,  the  long,  tapered  kind,  to  a  cardboard  milk  carton.  Add  ice  and  then  the  melted  wax.  After  the  candle  is  set,  tear  away  the  carton  over  your  sink  to  drain  the  water  and  you&#8217;ll  have  a  distinctive  &#8220;Swiss  cheese&#8221;  candle  to  use.  You  may  toss  out  the  coffee  may  after  it is  use.  No  worrying  in regards to  cleaning  a  pot  with  wax  residue.</p>
<p>18.	Use  an  old  (or  new!)  fishing  case,  with  all  it is  galore  compartments,  for  your  little  craft  parts.</p>
<p>19.	Hate  throwing  away  the  last  sliver  of  soap?  Break  it  up  into  pieces  and  place  in  a  rubber  baking  mold.  Melt  more  soap,  either  left  over  or  purchased  inexpensive  soap,  cool  more or less  so  it  won&#8217;t  melt  your  soap  bits  and  pour  into  mold,  let  harden  and  pop  your  new  soap  out  of  the  mold!</p>
<p>20.	Tape  a  little  plastic  grocery  bag  or  a  little  paper  bag  to  your  sewing  table  so  it  hangs  over  the  side.  Handy  for  tossing  out  bits  of  cut  thread  and  fabric  scraps.</p>
<p>21.	A  little  metal  constituents  cabinet  (the  kind  for  bolts,  nails  and  screws,  etc.)  is  outstanding  for  storing  little  crafts  parts  and  sewing  items.  I  even  have  two  of  them  housing  all  my  earrings  and  necklaces  &#8211;  one  or  more  drawers  for  each  color!</p>
<p>These  were  just  a heap of  of  the  handy  hints  I&#8217;ve  applied  over  the  years.  There  are  TONS  more  out  there  which  may  result  in  &#8220;Handy  Craft  Tips  Two&#8221;  &#8211;  hey,  you  never  know&#8230;stay  tuned!

<p><strong>Creative  Presentation  Ideas  &#8211;  It&#8217;s  Showtime!</strong></p>
<p>Listed  beneath  are  just  3  of  the  100  <strong>creative  demonstration  ideas</strong>  you  may  use  to  make  your  <strong>presentation</strong>  unforgettable.  You  may  use  these  originative  making something publicly available  ideas  when  speaking  to  potential  investors,  at  management  forums,  group discussion  lectures  or  with  your  colleagues,  employees,  or  any  other  presentment  you  have  to  make.</p>
<p>Each  originative  idea  is  described  in  the  following  format:</p>
<p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Basic  description  of  the  originative  formally presenting something  idea</strong></li>
<li><strong>What  for?</strong>  major  gains  of  the  idea,  or  how  it  may  be  used</li>
<li><strong>Variations  on  the  originative  idea</strong>:  how  you  may  adjust  the  idea  to  dissimilar  settings,  goals  and  audiences</li>
<li><strong>Comments</strong>:  things  you  must  pay  attention  to  when  using  the  originative  idea</li>
</ul>
<p>Well,  here  comes  the  initial  originative  activity of formally presenting something  idea:</p>
<p><strong>Creative  Presentation  Idea  #1:</strong></p>
<p><strong>Description:  <em>Do  <u>not</u>  use  titles  in  your  slides</em></strong></p>
<p><strong>What  for?</strong></p>
<p>
<ol>
<li>Tell  the  viewers  that  you  left  out  the  presentment  titles  on purpose  in  order  to  see  if  you  could  deliver  your  main  points  clearly</li>
<li>When  using  the  making something publicly available  as  a  learning  aid  in  a  workshop,  if  your  audience  is  required  to  finish  the  titles,  they  will  have  to  think  regarding  what  you  are  instructing  and  actively  participate  in  the  discussion</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Variations</strong>:</p>
<p>
<ol>
<li>Leave  the  titles  out  for  only  numerous  of  the  slides  &#8211;  perhaps  the  ones  that  will  be  applied  for  a  review  of  the  formally presenting something  so  far,  or  to  trigger  a  discussion  on  a  arguable  issue</li>
<li>Write  only  half  of  the  title,  and  ask  your  audience  to  finish  it</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Comments</strong>:</p>
<p>
<ul>
<li>You  may  use  a  printed  &#8220;complete&#8221;  version  of  the  activity of formally presenting something  for  yourself,  so  you  may  see  the  titles  you  meant  to  use</li>
</ul>
<p>The  originative  ideas  I  suggest    are  of  dissimilar  kinds  and  levels.  Some  are  crazier  than  others.  You  will have to  choose  the  one  that  best  suits  your  formally presenting something  needs.  Do  you  want  to  make  a  actually  <u><strong>bold</strong></u>  statement?  Here  is  a  more  outrageous  idea:</p>
<p><strong>Creative  Presentation  Idea  #75:</strong></p>
<p><strong>Description:  <em>Present  the  activity of formally presenting something  blindfolded!</em></strong></p>
<p><strong>What  for?</strong></p>
<p>
<ol>
<li>You  could  unquestionably  demonstrate  your  cognition  of  the  subject  and  a  good  memory  skill  as  well  as  self-confidence  by  using  this  idea</li>
<li>Use  it  to  add  a good deal of  humor  to  your  presentation:  after  you  put  the  blindfold  on,  measuredly  make  a heap of  funny  errors  when  referring  to  the  slides,  and  only  then  show  them  that  you  know  what  you&#8217;re  talking  about&#8230;</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Variations</strong>:</p>
<p>
<ol>
<li>Put  the  blindfold  on  for  just  a  short  portion  of  the  presentation,  when  you  want  to  make  a  dramatic  effect</li>
<li>Provide  blindfolds  for  the  participants,  so  their  sense  of  hearing  will  be  intensified  and  you  could  test  <u>their</u>  memory  after  a  few  slides!</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Comments</strong>:</p>

<li>Take  care  not  to  offend  persons  with  disablements  (e.g.  blind  people,  etc.).  Use  this  technique  when  you  are  sure  you  may  do  so  tactfully  and  with  good  taste</li>
</ul>
<p>As  you  might  have  noticed  by  now,  these  originative  demonstration  ideas  do  not  rely  on  an  unbelievable  noesis  of  Power  Point,  or  on  unreasonable  production  expenses.  Actually,  in  a good deal of  of  the  ideas  you  don&#8217;t  even  have  to  use  Power  Point  at  all!.  Here&#8217;s  one:</p>
<p><strong>Creative  Presentation  Idea  #31:</strong></p>
<p><strong>Description:  <em>Have  a  painter/caricaturist  assistant  -<br />
<br />drawing  images/cartoons  on  a  flip  chart  as  you  explain<br />
<br /></em></strong></p>
<p><strong>What  for?</strong></p>
<p>
<ol>
<li>This  would  make  your  presentment  &#8220;live&#8221;  on  the  go.  Instead  of  using  slides,  the  sketches  would  visually  convey  the  major  points  you  are  attempting  to  get  through.  For  example  &#8211;  when  you  talk  regarding  the  tough  task  lying  ahead,  a  simple  drawing  of  mountaineers  climbing  up  a  steep  mountain  would  etch  that  effigy  in  the  viewers  mind.</li>
<li>A  caricaturist  could  add  a  touch  of  humor  to  your  formally presenting something  with  amusive  images  and  hints</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Variations</strong>:</p>
<p>
<ol>
<li>If  you  have  the  talent  &#8211;  you  could  draw  the  sketches  yourself  as  you  speak.
</li>
<li>If  there&#8217;s  an  electronic  drawing  pad  &#8211;  you  could  use  it  and  show  the  drawings  on  a  screen  as  they  are  drawn.</li>
<li>Alternatively  &#8211;  ask  a good deal of  of  the  players  themselves  to  aid  you  and  draw  those  images  on  the  flip  chart  as  you  speak.</li>
<li>You  could  prepare  and  give  the  players  a  comic  book  with  the  primary  things  you  talked  about.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Comments</strong>:</p>
<p>
<ul>
<li>Make  sure  there  are  sufficient  flip  chart  pages  you  could  use,  and  that  every one  may  see  them  well.
</li>
<li>Rehearse  the  formally presenting something  with  the  painter  and  the  list  the  major  subjects  you  are  going  to  talk  when it comes to  so  that  s/he  would  have  time  to  think  regarding  how  to  make  significant  and  applicable  drawings.</li>
<li>Here  are  a  few  pointers  on  where  to  find  the  person  to  draw  for  you:  look  for  high  school  or  college  art  students  who  wish  to  exercise  and  demonstrate  their  talent  for  a  little  fee  or  free  of  charge;  ask  around  for  other  workers  that  have  that  talent  and  are  more than willing  to  give  a  hand.  Of  course,  if  the  making something publicly available  is  worth  the  investment,  you  may  always  hire  a  professional  caricaturist.</li>
