DIY Under $5

September 14, 2011 By Michelle Barneck 1 Comment

Welcome to another week of DIY under $5! We’re gonna be changing things up a bit. I will still be doing projects for under $5. But, I will be posting those projects separate from the party so the post won’t be a mile long and so people don’t think I am trying to promote my party by linking up my project on their page.

So what is my project for this week? A super cute and easy rosette headband. I think it took me about 10 minutes and 10 cents to make.

And while we’re changing things up let’s throw another little addition in the mix. I enjoy so much your $5 projects that I decided to add an addition link section for anything under $15! That’s right. It will open up a place to show additional projects that can’t be purchased with an Abe Lincoln, but are still totally affordable! I can’t wait to see more from you!

Now it’s time to link up your projects!

Please remember:

Only link to your own projects that cost you $5 or less (price does not have to include items you had on hand) or $15 or less in the 2nd section.
You can link past projects that fit the dollar limit, but please only link each project one time to one DIY Under $5 party. Do not link the same project week after week.
No linking giveaways or items for sale
Please link back so others can join the party and so you have the opportunity to be featured on Saturday!

DIY Under $5 {Ruler Frame}

September 7, 2011 By Michelle Barneck 13 Comments

I’m kinda liking the whole school theme. My little guy is loving preschool and I want to reinforce that any way I can. When making my Back to School frame I got the idea to make a ruler frame to go along.

Making a ruler frame was pretty much as easy as I thought and I love how they turned out, very academic. 😉

Ruler Frame

Supplies:

4×6 frame
4 wood or partially wood rulers
Table saw
Hot glue

1. Lay your rulers on your frame. I liked one end under and one end over. Mark with a pencil where to make your cuts so they fit on the frame just right.

2. CAREFULLY cut your rulers with the table saw. Be sure to account for the width of the blade when cutting. I had to leave an extra 1/8th inch. If you don’t have a table saw you can use a hack saw. I did my first two like this, but it took forever.

3. Lay your rulers back on your frame to make sure they fit right. Then hot glue to frame by putting a line of glue across the end of the ruler that goes under and another line of glue about an inch in from the “over” end so it will touch the ruler under it.

Simple as pie. The kind made with pre-made crust and pudding.

Super cute on their own, but add a printable from the talented girls at Eighteen25 and Sprik Space and it totally makes them!

Total cost: $3 per frame
Frame: $1
Rulers: $2 (2 for $1, used 4)
Printables: FREE
Everything else on hand

Now it’s time to link up your $5 projects!

Please remember:

Only link to your own projects that cost you $5 or less (price does not have to include items you had on hand)
You can link past projects that fit the dollar limit, but please only link each project one time to one DIY Under $5 party. Do not link the same project week after week.
