DIY: Appliqué Throw Pillow
Here's a post from CasaSugar Community member nancita from the Art(ist)s & Craft(er)s group:
I am not an expert crafter, but I have a friend who is, and she has started hosting a Craft Happy Hour, where she teaches her noncrafty friends to sew, using a different project each month. Food and drinks are served, hence the "happy hour."My first time using a sewing machine ever (!), we made these throw pillows with self-made appliques. I didn't think I could do it, but it was surprisingly easy and oh so cute.
DIY: Wine Cork Board
Cork is a versatile, sustainable, and quirky material, popping up on everything from ottomans to flooring, and of course, wine corks. My friend is going with a bit of a vino theme at her wedding this Summer, and decided to repurpose wine corks as a cork board and use it to pin place cards onto at the event. This clever memo board would look equally cute in the kitchen or bar in your home.
Spring Cleaning: 2 DIY Hair-Removal Solutions For Sofas
If your furry friends are allowed on the couch, chances are you've seen some evidence of their presence (but hopefully only hair). Just like I saved the stairs already, now it's time to tackle the sofa.
One surefire way to pick up pet hair is by rubbing an affected area with a bunched-up ball of pantyhose — the hair clings right to the nylon texture!

While I have no carpet inside my apartment, my building's hallway features carpet . . .
Behind the Seams: An SF Screen-Printing Party
Since you outfitted me for my screen-printing party, it's high time you saw the party in its DIY glory. At San Francisco's Workshop, a few friends and I gathered for an evening of paint, beer, and creativity. A DJ provided slick tunes, while Annabelle made a friend.
Doctors Say Go Ahead and Pass on DIY Pap Smears
DIY isn't a term I like to associate with my health — I'm cool with a DIY manicure, but when it comes to something as important as screening for cancer I'm not doing it myself. After an online pharmacy in the UK launched new DIY pap smear tests that screen for cervical-cancer causing HPV, medical professionals are cautioning women against them. But the reasoning is a little counterintuitive.
Open House: What Was Your Biggest DIY?
I'm feeling a surge of DIY spirit lately, so I think I'm going to begin tackling building my own headboard this weekend — stay tuned! It should be one of the bigger DIYs I've completed, seeing that it's a piece of furniture! But still, not very complicated.
