Bandana Dress w/Straps AND Adding Glitter to a T-shirt/Material

I love anything bandana and this style of bandana dress is no exception. I'm going to have to make one for my daughter! While this green is perfect for St. Patrick's Day, it would look adorable in any color. Thanks to Living With Punks for the great tutorial.

When I saw this idea linked up to last week's party, I knew I needed to save it. This awesome tutorial from ICandy Handmade shows how to add a glittery graphic to a t-shirt. I think it would also work for other fabrics too. What a great tip to know!!!

4 Reader's Submissions

.

I get a lot of submission for awesome projects. I love it and I hate it. I love it because there is no way I can view all the amazing blogs, ideas and projects out there. I hate it because I can't possibly feature them all and I feel badly about that.

.

Here are a few of the submissions I've received lately.

.

Turn those plastic Easter eggs into beautiful speckled eggs for your spring decor. See how The V-Spot made these faux robin's eggs.

It's not too late to make a Lucky in Love shirt for you or a little one using this idea from My Own Road. Or you can save this idea for next year!

Born Again Crafter created this awesome wreath using old book pages. It only cost her $.45 to make! What a steal. See the book page wreath.

HoneyBear Lane turned an inexpensive store-bought clock into a Crate and Barrel knock-off clock. Love the colors and the big numbers.

Decorating with 2x4 Projects (5 of them!!!)

There are so many cute 2x4 projects out there right now. I thought I should have them in one post altogether!
