For parties I love those helium tanks that you can purchase and create your own balloon design from your home. I have used that for several functions.The problem was the empty tank. I decided to turn my tank into art! With spray paint and craft paints, I made a character piece for my yard.

A helium tank that has been painted and decorated as a Jack-'o-lantern.

Keep Wool Yarn From Tangling
Keep Wool Yarn From TanglingMy wool is always getting tangled when I knit. Cut a pop bottle in half leave a strip of plastic for hanging. Tape your bottle onto a chair; mine is on a walker. Put your wool into the bottle, the bottle will be upside down, and pull through the top part of the bottle. It keeps your wool tangle free.

A pencil Christmas tree decorated for fall.
Fall Decorated Artificial Pencil Christmas TreeAs a retired couple, my husband and I were on a budget and this year we need to purchase an artificial tree, but we could not afford it. My daughter gave me two, three foot pencil trees that are normally used for Christmas; they have a burlap base.

A wreath base made from a recycled record album cover.
Recycled Wreath BaseAs a crafter, I am always looking for ways to incorporate green crafting into my crafts, using recycled materials whenever I can. Recently I realized that one could turn old vinyl record jackets and an empty packaging box into a sturdy base for a wreath. A great money saver!

Joining two strands of yarn together.
How to Join Double Strands of YarnIf you are wanting a separate length of each yarn, you can fold over each one, and attach at the end of each one, the middle point of the other. This means you have just two tails, the "end" and a loop in the "middle" instead of four tails.
