How To Upholster a Round Stool
By ModHomeEcTeacher
I've done it. Kicking and screaming I've made a How To video. (shudder) Even though I upholstered this stool on a previous post, I had to re-do the boxing. Someone bought it from my Etsy shop and it's being shipped to Brooklyn today. Nothing shows technique like an actual demonstration. » READ MORE
Curbly Video Podcast: An Easy and Inexpensive DIY Frame for Posters and Art.
By Chrisjob
An attractive frame for artwork always beats thumbtacks or the sticky stuff, but custom jobs at the framing shop come with sky-high prices, often more than you paid for that wonderful screen print from Etsy or the perfect vintage concert tour poster.
So, skip the frame shop altogether, and head to the hardware store for this easy and customizable DIY to protect and showcase your favorite pieces.
Curbly Video Quick Tip: Create a Crosscut Sled on the Cheap.
By Chrisjob
The table saw is the most versatile option for the DIYster, equally successful at making rip cuts (with the grain) and crosscuts (across the grain). When making crosscuts, it's much better to rely on support which holds the workpiece at a 90-degree angle to the blade, rather than the rip fence, which is parrallel to the blade.
Enter the crosscut sled, an extremely easy homemade option for safe and accurate crosscuts on any table saw. This option » READ MORE
Curbly Video Podcast: How to Create a Photo Frame from a Recycled Circuit Board.
By Chrisjob
Upon visiting my local FreeGeek space, I noted the bubbling pile of e-scrap...techno goodies that will never be much use for a frankensteined personal computer. Did I see a potential resource of microchips, LEDs, and switches? Of course, but I wouldn't know what to do with 'em. So, instead, I started slicing, and came up with this very easy, customizable, and essentially cost-free picture frame.

Curbly Video: Using Paper Napkins to Make Decorative Tile Coasters
By DIY Maven
With the help of some 4" square ceramic tiles, turning decorative paper napkins into a set of very polished-looking coasters is easy.
To make a set of 4 coasters, you’ll need:

- Mod Podge (I used the Matte-Mat)
- small paint brush
- polyurethane (I used Aqua-Zar in satin, but glossy would look great too)

Curbly Video Quick Tip: Keep Your Shovel De-Iced for Easy Snow Removal.
By Chrisjob
Brrrr... We're certainly in the dead center of winter, and for those of us north of the Mason-Dixon line (and for many of you below it), that means lots and lots of shoveling to keep sidewalks, porches, and driveways clean. But, as any 12-year-old kid can tell you, after the first few minutes, snow and ice start to build up on the shovel's surface, and it becomes heavy and more difficult to use.

Curbly Video Podcast: How to Make a Handbag out of a Recycled Book.
By Chrisjob
I have a penchant for purchasing stuff that’s cool, but for which I don’t have specific plans or use. Case in point: I have piles of pulp and sci-fi novels from the 40s-60s. The art and colors are amazing, and the language provides for ridiculous quotes for ages. But after I slice out the illustrations, and force my way through the first and last chapters so I can say I ‘read’ them, these dimestore masterpieces don’t escape from their cardboard » READ MORE
