DIY Infused Vinegar Makes Great Gifts. I posted in December about what were my favorite gifts to give, and I mentioned flavored vinegar. It’s super easy and very cheap to make. I also added that I dipped my bottles that had corks in red wax so the cork and some of the bottle neck were coated. I also printed out labels with ingredients, and other info. Tutorial and recipes at Design Sponge here. *The one I made with raspberries and blueberries in red vinegar was gorgeous looking.
DIY Ear Cuffs with Charms. The ear cuffs were bought on Etsy (they run about $.50 to $1 a piece here and most come drilled with a hole so you can easily add a charm, chain, etc…). Pretty basic how-to from Hello Whimsy Blog here.
I am madly in love with this tidy herb garden made from a shoe organizer - perfect for city dwellers like myself. Imagine growing all sorts of delicious herbs even on the smallest of urban balconies! Perfection.

Two DIY Air Plant Chandeliers. I like both of these but they use different materials and techniques. Top Photo: Tutorial and photo from The Zen of Making here. Bottom Photos: Tutorial and Photos (plus links of where to buy air plants) from Miss Modish here (thank you to The Zen of Making for the link). *What is expensive are the plants but people who have them love them.
