This pipe shelf looks so cool, that it can find a suitable spot for itself in any room: from a children’s room to office space and even a living room. If you’re looking to spice things up in your home, here’s a tutorial on how to build this shelf and have your very own design piece.
To build the pipe shelf you’re going to need floor flanges, 90-degree elbows, tees, caps, nipples, and different sizes of pipes, screws, stains, and boards. The size of the project for which you’ll find the description and supplies is 96” tall and 148” wide, but you can always adjust it to your space.

The hardest part might just be the one in which you prepare and assemble the pipes as you will have to make a puzzle out of them to make sure every piece fits perfectly. But once you figure this step out, the shelves can be added and you can use the wooden boards to make either more shelves or small baskets.
You can of course add a custom message if you wish, something that will become the centerpiece of your pipe shelf, depending on the room and purpose it will serve.

One of the most common crochet patterns is flowers, and once you master the basics, you’ll want to explore this pattern more.
So, if you are looking to crochet a double-layered flower, this next tutorial will guide you through it one step at a time. The tutorial is well-explained and has lots of close-ups that will help you get a grip of the pattern more quickly.
You can create lots of beautiful items by incorporating these double-layered flowers and even making patchwork pieces such as blankets or pillowcases.

Start by choosing two complimentary colors that will make each other pop and add other small items, such as pearls or sequins.
You can use white pearls, so they’ll emphasize the shape of the flower and attract attention to its center.
Start by building the flower petal by petal and layer by layer and at the end, you can even add leaves to the sides.

The leaves will make the crochet flower look more real and unique. If you feel like getting crafty together with your friends, you can plan a DIY weekend and start working on that crocheted blanket together.

Sci-fi enthusiasts are going to love this next cake, which is also a great birthday surprise idea for someone who loves space. The amazing multi-layered cake was created by Naushee or Pedagiggle, and she baked it for her 4-year old son who loves outer space.

The exterior is decorated with specific thematic, a spaceship, stars, and planets, but once the cake is cut the mysteries of the universe reveal themselves. The interior of the cake is a splash of colors and hides different sizes of colorful planets and a spongy blue inside.

The cake is a vanilla-flavored one and the mom had to get extremely creative to pull this together, since she couldn’t find the perfect recipe and had to improvise a great deal. She used food coloring to create the galaxy inside the cake and cake pop molds to make the spheres.
After seeing the result and how amazing the cake turned out, Naushee decided to share the recipe with the rest of the world.

Now anyone can make their very own galaxy cake without having to improvise and start the whole process from scratch. For more details watch the video below…

Although egg decorations are more common at Easter, that doesn’t mean you can make nice egg decorations for your Christmas tree. It may seem a bit odd at a first look, but once you will decorate the eggs and put them on your tree you will see how nice they look. To make these vintage egg ornaments you will need: eggs, tacky glue, glitter, fake snow, acrylic paint, scissors, a brush, hot glue gun, Mod Podge and some more. Use a knife to cut holes in the egg and empty the content. Wash it a bit and when dry paint the outside with the color of your choice. Paint the inside too. You can adjust the hole a little bit and then you can decorate the outside. Cover the outside with glue and sprinkle glitter on it. Use a bead cap and a thread to make the hanging system and fix it on the egg with the help of a glue gun. Place a small Styrofoam ball in the egg and create the inside decoration. That is all you will have a beautiful and unique decoration for your tree.
