Beachy mantel makeover. Keep an eye out at yard sales, rummage sales and on the beach for bottles in sea-inspired colors and interesting shapes. Once you have a collection, line them up on your mantel. Fill a few with sprigs of greenery snipped from the garden, and leave others empty to reflect the light. Tip: Transform clear bottles into a colorful display by swirling craft paint inside them after they’ve been cleaned and dried. Pour out the excess and let dry — the paint color will show through the glass.

Q

Magnetic message board. Have a metal tray that you hardly ever use? Put it to work as a message board with the addition of a few magnets and bits of inspiration. Tip: When shopping for vintage metal trays to repurpose, bring along a small magnet to test the surface before you buy.

Q

Start with an embroidery hoop, or create your own circle from flexible wire. Cut equal-length pieces of yarn and then knot each one in the middle to attach to the hoop. Repeat until the piece is as full as you’d like. Hang it on a small hook to display.
