DIY Candles

To make grass candles, you'll need light-colored pillars, a nonflammable all-purpose glue stick, and blades of grass (we used wheat grass sprouted from seed). Apply adhesive to a single blade, and affix to candle, folding the bottom of the blade underneath. Repeat process, varying lengths and spacing to mimic natural growth and create a pleasing pattern.

Cinnamon Candle How-To1. Measure candle height; cut cinnamon sticks to size with floral shears. You'll need about 20 lengths per candle.
2. Run hot glue along cinnamon stick; affix it vertically to side of candle. (Use low-temperature setting to minimize melting.)
3. When first stick is dry, glue next stick snugly against it; repeat to cover candle.

hanging pictures

Hanging multiple framed pictures so that they look orderly can be a challenge. The secret is to divide and conquer: Mark a horizontal midline on the wall, and hang all pictures above or below it.

The line can be delineated with a strip of painters' tape and then removed once the pictures are in place. To unify the group, choose a single color for all frames and, if displaying photographs, stick with either all black-and-white or all color shots.

Walk-By Closet

Don't have the space that a walk-in closet demands? Try building a walk-by. An old ladder bridges the gap between two basic shelving units and creates a homey space to hang clothes -- a far cry from the typical sterile, stainless steel rod.
