You may remember my closet full of wrapping paper (only a small testament to my love of paper goods). Inside that closet is a box full of stationery: greeting cards for all occasions, little handmade notebooks, gifts tags, etc. What it's completely lacking is anything remotely as cool as these handmade string-tie envelopes! I love string-tie envelopes, you guys... and you can never find them in anything other than boring ol' manila. Can you imagine the possibilities if you knew how to make your… Continue Reading
Hi!! I'm Rebekah from Potholes and Pantyhose, a site where I share and photograph detailed tutorials of my DIY projects, recipes, photography tips, and remodeling endeavors.
I like to re-invent things around my home, offering a fresh look to a room with little to no cost.

Valentine's Day is quickly approaching, and often times we are all so exhausted from the winter holidays that we neglect the holiday of love. This year I decided to decorate a bit for my kids' sake, but I have to admit I've fully enjoyed having some love-filled reminders around the house.
