Ok, show of hands, who loves Pinterest? Pretty sure almost everyone. next question, who pins tons of cool things and ideas, but then never actually does them? Um…guilty! I will be the first to admit I am not a crafty person. However, there are some seriously cute, cool, functional, and smart ideas on Pinterest I would be wise to take advantage of. Here are five that I really like and hope to try/implement/do in the near future.
1.) Towel baskets: We don’t have a ton of shelf space in our master bathroom, so the towels are currently under the sink. I think this is a cute and cheap way to give us back our sink space and display our towels. Plus, it looks simple enough! I like these Rattique Baskets.
2.) Great gift idea! Put stick-on decals on a picture frame and remove the back of the frame.
3.) Nail Polish Keys: Paint nail polish on different keys so you know which is which.
4.) No Sew Curtains. Panel of fabric, curtain rod, curtain rings with clamps, easy!
5.) Pretty serving tray: glue a bowl, 2 plates and 2 candlestick holders together
Writing this post has totally got me into a crafty mood! I so envy those women with awesome craft blogs and home decorating/organizing blogs. I think I have a thing or two to learn!
On another note, so glad today is Friday. It has been a bit of a roller coaster week, so ready to relax with Bobby and catch up on some things here at the house. Have a great day everyone!

QOTD: Have you ever created a Pinterest project? How did it turn out? Would love to see links to pins of your favorites or ones you want to try!
Karien @ Running the Race says
Love the towel basket idea!
I’m also not very crafty, but I’m currently busy with my very first Pinterest project. It’s also an easy and straight-forward one, but one I hope will add a lot of personality to our (empty) walls! I’ll be doing an before and after on my blog soon.
Erica @ For the Sake of Cake says
Love all of these ideas! Honestly, I use Pinterest more for recipes than crafts, but I like that these all seem pretty simple.
Danielle @ itsaharleyyylife says
I love all of these ideas! so cute! I wish I had more money to do them all!
Jen says
LOVE that serving tray idea! How are people so darn creative? I’m missing that gene.
Ali says
I tried to make a necklace holder for my bathroom and I realized how uncrafty I am lol I’ll leave my decorations to the pros.
Lindsay @ Lindsay's List says
those towel baskets are SO SMART!!! Doing it!
Heather (Where's the Beach) says
I have #2 pinned as well. I wanted to do that for a friend as a gift but could never find letters that large or even stencils.
Monica says
Okay-I LOVE the towel basked idea. I’m so doing that this weekend-thanks!! (And yes I pin all kinds of recipes, crafts, and organizational stuff and rarely refer to them again-lol!)
Kristin @ A Mom on the Run says
I find a lot of recipes on pinterest and a few kids crafts, one of these days I’ll get around to doing one of the hundreds of cute crafts I have pinned for the house!
Kristen says
I’ve pinned a LOT and made NONE – I LOVE these you have here!
Kim @ HealthyNest says
Oooh, I love the serving tray and decal picture frame ideas!! Thanks for sharing! Pinterest is amazing. 🙂
Kat says
I was just tell baskets would make good shoe baskets!
Amanda says
Hi Heather! I’m a new follower and I’m loving your blog! Pinterest has sent me running to hobby lobby many times but then life gets in the way and I never get around to actually doing those cute projects! Ha!
Cindy @runarelyrun says
These are awesome! Thanks! I think I am going to try the basket one!
Karen :0) says
All great ideas! I especially like the key one! Can’t wait to see what you come up with! :0)
Nicole G says
I’ve done a handful of Pinterest crafts and most of them have come out pretty well! I like picture frame with the initals, that is super cute! I’m not crafty at all so they have to be really easy for me not to screw them up 🙂
Jan @ Sprouts n Squats says
I love Pinterest and have pinned so many pins I’ve never done anything with. My friends and I try and do a craft project together about once every 6 weeks and it is usually from an idea on Pinterest. We buy all the stuff together and it works out cheaper dividing up the cost between all of us than if you were just doing it on your own. Plus we can then help each other if things go wrong or we aren’t sure. We’ve made coasters out of tiles. Decoupage paintings. Magnets. And more recently embroidery hoop wall hangings. You should definitely try some projects out and I highly recommend rounding up some friends to do it with.
Kierston @candyfit says
Towel baskets seem like a GRAND idea! Thanks 🙂
Amanda Tinney says
DO LOVE #2. Must admit that I never get on Pinterest for fear of being sucked into the vortex!
Mindy @ Road Runner Girl says

Steph @ Smiles Through Miles says
I love Pinterest! It definitely makes me think I’m crafty, but a lot of my projects end in Pinterest fails!
Heather says
