This week you can make bowls, re-fashion an office chair, make your own beads, and much more. Which will you try first?br>

• How to Make Bowls Using CDs - Believe it or not, you can create little bowls out of CDs. Make sure you do this craft in a well-ventilated area. Any children working on this project should be closely supervised. I would suggest having the adult deal with the heating of the CD and let any children be involved with decorating the cooled CD bowls.

• Tissue Heart Picture - Follow these instructions for making a fun heart picture using tissue paper - submitted by H. Marie.

• Reupholstered Office Chair - If you are tired of using a boring office chair, use these instructions to reuholster the chair to fit your personality. I did this for the inexpensive chair I use when I sit in front of my sewing machine. The chair cost me $20.00, but I think it now looks like a million bucks! This would also make a fun gift for a student or a graduate.

• Paper Plate Heart Pocket - Use these step-by-step directions to fashion a heart-shaped treat holder out of 3 paper plates.

• Make Your Own Paper Beads - Find out how to make your own beads using strips cut from from magazines, catalogs, and even junk mail.

• Stuffed Football Craft - Check out these directions for making footballs out of paper bags. These are great for decorations!

• Soda Pop Can Cow - Why not make an entire herd of these tiny cows! They don't all have to be black and white, you can get creative and make them in many different colors.

Enjoy, and remember, if you complete any of these crafts, take a few moments to send me a picture and it can be featured here too!
