"You know... just looking at these as braids, you could use them as really neat trim on, say, a jacket or a blanket. Of course you'd have to have several tshirts in the same colors for something as big as a blanket, but a little trim on the sleeves or cuffs of a jacket seems possible."

"It sounds so simple just reading though the directions! I'm afraid it would be a lot of work for me, though, since I am not a good seamstress. This would be like an entire winter's project for me. Still, it intrigues me. I have slowly accumulated tshirts but probably don't have enough yet."

"This is a marvelous idea. It's very easy and inexpensive to make. I live in Florida so I have plenty of sea shells. And I have seen the prices that local boutiques charge for things like these. You can make just as nice ones yourself. And you can get some Christmas gifts done early in the year."

"This is adorable and I am inspired just looking at it. But I am going to make it using polymer clay. I love working with that and I can make the buildings and cacti out of it very easily. Little stones and boukders are a snap to make too. Thank you for the idea."

"This is so sweet. It's so very easy to make and it's not expensive. It is something that will look good on the patio. I live in Florida and this can stay up for most of the year. I also have sea shells that I can add to the wreath edges."

I never thought about dressing up something so simple as the milk cartons you buy each week to make an inexpensive organizer. This is just the right size for spring projects because everyone is looking to tidy up their area and make it look different while saving some money at the same time. This idea accomplishes all those goals in a fun way that lets people show off their creativity and preferences.

I love this idea! I work at a school, and we have tons of milk cartons available that otherwise just get recycled. The newsprint would be great as well, because our kids are just starting to read. Maybe we could use magazines or a simple print?

Neat idea for your Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts, or for your church group/youth group. It is easy enough for anyone who has never done anything like this before, but just enough of a challenge to keep it interesting. There's no room for creativity here, so if you've got people who don't have that kind of talent (creativity), have them take on this project. It will make them feel empowered.

I think this article is a good starting point. However, I don't like newsprint. One can instead use pictures cut from magazines or printed from the internet as either an overall collage, or one panel per side. Choose a portrait of a favorite author, then add quotes from him/her.

Since I'm not good in complex projects, this project idea is perfect. And mindshift's suggestion to use quotes can make the stands look a bit more chic! Thanks to both!
