Anyone who knows me knows that most of the time, I tend to back away slowly from DIY projects. Don’t get me wrong, I would LOVE to be a handy crafty person able to turn a toilet paper roll into an organic douche slash musical wind chime, but unfortunately for me, I am not blessed with the DIY gene. I’ve made a mess of opening perforated envelopes, so having a glue gun near me will only result in a tragedy that would probably involve gluing my pants to my eyebrow.

However, since Pinterest came on to the scene, it has sparked my interest in DIY projects because there are so many cool things that look SO EASY. I don’t know if this is a good thing or a bad thing but stay tuned to the local news. If you hear of some woman accidentally killing a small woodland creature while innocently trying to make her own soaps, I’ll save you the suspense – that woman will probably be me.

I’ll admit, I’m still apprehensive so I haven’t tried any yet, but here’s a few that I think even I can do…(which means you can do it with no problems!)
