Got a dollar and an hour?

Our most recent customer, Julie H., made all of these projects within an hour, and just after she left our store. Plus, as our title suggests, she spent less than a dollar for everything. Julie, thanks for shopping with us and then getting these pix our way, complete with descriptions:

I took a bunch of architectural samples [25¢/inch*] and instead of using the colored side, I used the really cool brown colored side to make some fun wall art. The samples were hot-glue-gunned to a box top that I also got at the scrap store, to make it look like it was done on canvas :)

I made a fun little mobile out of sheer fabric samples; it looks really great in front of the window with all of the sunlight shining in!

These buttons [5@25¢] were so cool! Such a great color to make some fun button earrings.

There were so many fun fabric samples [this size = 10¢] to choose from. Here I used a green fabric to re-cover a magnetic knife rack that was made out of old magnets and cardboard.

Amazing, Julie! Now, our "Iron Chef"-style event coming up 3/29 with Knowledge Commons DC isn't a timed competition (in fact, it's only a competition if you want it to be), but if someone wants to attempt more projects for even less money, we'll blog about that, too!

* What is meant by 1" of architectural samples? That's when you gather a bunch of samples together in a stack -- so imagine the above all chained together through the holes provided, like when you shop for countertops or paint colors and can flip through the "pages." When that stack is 1" tall, you've got a single unit assembled. And we'll charge you a total of ONE QUARTER for the whole thing. Come clear us out so we can make room for more.
