There are so many cute crafts out there where you can recycle old electronics. I've been seeing these cassette tape wallets all over. The Chezlin blog posted a tutorial on how to make these nifty wallets.

4th of July luminaries

These luminaries are made by using balloons, I thought this was the neatest way to make these. Once you create your mold you put a tea light in them. Head over to candletech.com for a tutorial. This would be great to use for your 4th of July cookout at night time. You could even make these for other holidays and just change the color.

Camera Inside A Camera

I want one of these camera cases! Artist Hine Mizushima did such a great job with these one of a kind camera cases. I have the same camera shown in the picture and it fits perfectly into these. Love the little pocket for the memory card because I like to be prepared and carry every necessity possible. You can head over to the hine etsy shop and purchase one, I only see one for sale right now, I'm sure you can request one to be made or keep checking back. Glad I stumbled upon (literally) the craftershock blog.

Marble Magnets

I found this really cute idea on not martha. All the supplies you need to make these marble magnets are silicon glue, cut out pictures, magnets, and marbles. Another great inexpensive craft.

4th of July Pinwheels

The Martha Stewart website has some really great crafts for your 4th of July get together. These pinwheels would be a great decoration and fun for the kids! They are pretty easy to make and inexpensive. All you need is some patriotic patterned paper, clothes pins and map tacks. Here is a tutorial on how to put it all together.

Chalkboard Wall

Chalkboard Wall Paint is such a great invention! I found this picture on curbly and thought I'd share with everyone. You can find this paint at your local hardware store that supplies paint, Benjamin Moore particularly makes this kind of paint for your walls. I've been finding so many different uses for chalkboard wall paint. Real Simple shows you how to make a wall mural for kids to draw on. The DIY Network has a tutorial on how to make an actual chalkboard with a chair rail frame to hold chalk and erasers. This would be great to paint on a wall in your home office or your office at work. If you have a creative type job and you don't want to keep wasting paper you can draw your ideas on the chalkboard.

Wire Photo Display

Looking for an inexpensive, interesting way to display your photos? Well, I found a tutorial on curbly on how to create this neat wire photo display. This would be really nice looking in your home office. It's also pretty easy to switch out photos fairly often. I could picture this in a gallery as a way to display your photography.
