Reuse EVERYTHING!

Hey guys! Mac here. So this isn't really technically DIY, but I wanted to share this with you. I have a bit of a problem with finding bins and/or cups, etc. to hold my office supplies, so I started reusing a bunch of stuff and kind of 'repurposing' it to fit my needs. 

#1: USE JELLY JARS!
So, I don't know about you, but my mom uses Bonne Maman jam. I used these to hold my hair ties and washi tape(I don't have very much). It's really simple, and all you have to do is take off the label and wash the jar. You can choose to use the lid or not.

Awesome Cereal Box Bins!!

Hello, again. Mac here. So, I kind of just made these bins one day and found them immensely helpful, easy, and cute, so I thought I'd share them with you guys!

You will need(this will make 2 bins):
One empty cereal box
Wrapping paper of your choice
Scotch tape
Scissors
Duck tape(I recommend a color that goes with your wrapping paper)
An X-acto knife.

Step One:
Decide how tall you want your bins. They can't be more than half as tall as the cereal box, unless you're OK with your bins being two different sizes. Now, cut the cereal box with the knife to the size you want your bins. 

Step Two:
Wrap your two bins with wrapping paper like you would wrap a present, but leave the hole open. Side note: One end is the top, so tape it shut for best results.

Step Three:
Use the duck tape to rim the edges of the opening.

Fill 'em up! You're done!!

Picture Heart

Hi guys! Mac here. Today I'm going to teach you how to do this simple but cool DIY project to brighten up your room. 

You will need:
For a smaller heart: 27 landscape-oriented pictures
For a bigger heart: 48 landscape-oriented pictures
(you can try using portrait-oriented pictures, but landscape looks much better)
Blue painter's tape(or similar)
Double-sided tape(optional)

Step one:
Find a blank wall to hold your heart. It has to be a pretty big space. Now, arrange your pictures on the floor into the shape of a heart. Here's a picture:

Step two:
Use the painter's tape to put your pictures on the wall, but don't use the double-sided yet. This gives you the opportunity to move the pictures around if you need to.

Step three: 
Once you are satisfied with your result, start at the bottom of the heart, and go through each picture, putting double-sided tape on the back, then securing it firmly to the wall. You can also use painter's tape and roll it up and stick that on the back instead.

Voila! You're done!
