Welcome to DIY Day! Are you ready to share your latest project?
If you’re new here, every Tuesday we get together to share our newest DIY projects. I’m really flexible about what constitutes a DIY project. A furniture makeover, an outdoor project, a holiday craft, some new artwork…maybe a great recipe?
Today we have a fantastic prize from my newest sponsor, YouCanMakeThis.com. This one is going to make all you DIYers/crafters/seamstresses flip your lids. YouCanMakeThis.com was launched in 2006 by Kim Christopherson, a mother of three, who wanted to share her expertise in creating handmade items.
Kim reached out to other designers and together they began creating detailed, step-by-step guides that anyone could use to create beautiful projects to keep, give or even sell!
Reversible Patchwork Bucket Hat for Girls or Boys
YouCanMakeThis.com now has hundreds and hundreds (maybe thousands?) of downloadable patterns and How-to eBooks written by over 200 different designers. Each eBook gives you high quality instructions and patterns for fun projects that can be used over and over again.
She Loves Me, She Loves Me KNOT Handbag
One lucky winner will receive a $50 gift certificate to spend at YouCanMakeThis.com. All you have to do is link up a post to DIY Day this week. Maybe you’ll want to try your hand at the Reversible Wrap Skirt, the Sweetheart Crochet Scarf pattern or these fun Glass Jewelry Pendants.
There are even a few freebies at YouCanMakeThis.com! This tutorial for Frayed Rosettes is awesome! And it’s FREE!
Now let’s see those projects! Please…
- Include a short description of your DIY project in parenthesis after the name of your blog. This helps people browse the HUGE number of projects. And you get MORE clicks!
- Link to your specific post, not the main page of your blog. I HATE having to delete these. It makes me feel like a big meanie.
- Link to this party from your post so everyone can get in on the fun.

Could you please remove link to #303? I made the link to my personal blog, but then fixed it for my public one for #305 (Neppers Nest). Not sure how much “McLinky power” you have, but I imagine you can delete it!
Thanks for hosting!
Holly´s last blog ..Yes, even sugar can be stylish!
Hi! I just found your blog and love it! I posted a link on your DIY post and realized when I clicked on my own link that I linked to my blog and not to my individual post.
