There are many items that can be "hacked" into decor. So before you donate or dump anything, </span><a title="Be Creative" href="http://www.blogger.com/Be-Creative"><span style="color:#000000;">look at it with a creative eye</span></a><span style="color:#000000;">. Is there any way it can become part of your beautifully unique home? This article will give you some ideas to start with.</span><a name="Steps"></a><span style="color:#000000;"> </span> <br /><h2><span style="color:#000000;"></span></h2><h2><span style="color:#000000;">Steps </span></h2> <br /><ol> <br /><li><span style="color:#000000;"><b>Make throw pillows from old t-shirts and sweaters.</b> Throw pillows make the couch more comfortable and welcoming. It is also a chic look to have many pillows of different size and shape on your bed or couch. Store-bought pillows can be kind of expensive, so creating a pillow from one of your old t-shirts or sweaters is a great crafting project to try. </span> <br /><ul> <br /><li><span style="color:#000000;">Pick your fabric. Sweaters are soft and comfortable, and tend to have great textures and prints. T-shirts are a fun idea, as well, because they can be a good conversation starter and they can make a room more personable. Which ever fabric you choose make sure that you really want to cut into it. There’s nothing worse than saying “actually, I still wear that!” Tip: try working with a material that won’t give you much trouble for your first pillow, like a cotton t-shirt.</span></li> <br /><li><span style="color:#000000;">Trace out the area that you want to make into the pillow (remember, you aren’t limited to a square shape, however, this maybe the easier route to go for beginners). You can cut out two separate squares or keep the sides of the shirt connected, this all depends on the style you want in the end.</span></li> <br /><li><span style="color:#000000;">Stuff it! Next you want to turn the shirt inside out if the sides still connected. Sew one side together, allowing only the other side of the shirt-pillow case to be open. Turn it right side out. If you cut two squares out, face the squares backwards to each other (wrong sides together, as if it's inside out) and sew three sides together. You should be able to turn this right side out to reveal what the pillow should look like. Then begin to stuff. And don’t be cheap with the pillow stuffing either. You want a nice firm pillow right?</span></li> <br /><li><span style="color:#000000;">Using your sewing machine, finish sewing the open side. Voíla! You have a pillow made out of your shirt. This is a perfect accent to your couch or bed or even for traveling. Enjoy!</span></li> <br /><li><span style="color:#000000;">If you have feline friends, you can also </span><a title="Make a Cat Bed from an Old Sweater" href="http://www.blogger.com/Make-a-Cat-Bed-from-an-Old-Sweater"><span style="color:#000000;">Make a Cat Bed from an Old Sweater</span></a><span style="color:#000000;">.</span></li></ul></li> <br /><li><span style="color:#000000;"><b>Turn an old boot into a planter.</b> Do you have a pair of boots that have been with you through thick and thin? Are they too worn for you or anyone else to make use of them? Give them a new life with plants. These can be used inside or outside. </span> <br /><ul> <br /><li><span style="color:#000000;">Line the inside of boots with wax paper. The wax paper will prevent water from leaking through the boot. Place the middle of one sheet of wax paper over the opening of the boot. Carefully move wax paper into boot with your hand until your fingers hit the bottom of the boot. There will excess wax paper over the edge of the boot. Repeat for second boot.</span></li> <br /><li><span style="color:#000000;">Fill each boot about three fourths way with potting soil.</span></li> <br /><li><span style="color:#000000;">Place one flower/plant in each boot.</span></li> <br /><li><span style="color:#000000;">Remove excess wax paper from the boots with a pair of scissors. Wax paper should come no lower than an inch underneath the top of each boot.</span></li> <br /><li><span style="color:#000000;">Fill the remaining fourth of the boot with potting soil.</span></li> <br /><li><span style="color:#000000;">Add a small amount of water to each boot.</span></li> <br /><li><span style="color:#000000;">Place the boots in sunlight. There you have it! A simple and easy way to reuse those old boots that you cannot bear to part with.</span></li></ul></li> <br /><li><span style="color:#000000;"><b>Turn old photos and cards into place mats.</b> It's cleaning time, and you stumble upon a box of old cards. They could be Christmas cards, congratulatory cards, or even birthday cards. Perfect for adding personal touches to your home! One of the easiest and cheapest ways is to make your own place mats for your kitchen table. You can do this using any kind of card, and use the place mats as part of your seasonal decorating. A lot of times, birthday and congratulations cards can have many beautiful fronts that can be used year round. </span> <br /><ul> <br /><li><span style="color:#000000;">Select different cards or parts of cards that you like. You can cut similar shapes like circles or squares from each, or you can keep them whole.</span></li> <br /><li><span style="color:#000000;">Remove the backing from one sheet of contact paper and arrange the pictures. You can either line them up side by side, or layer them over one another. You can even lay down a piece of construction paper first as a background, and glue the pictures on in shapes or letters. Be creative! Add your own personal family photos if you'd like too!</span></li> <br /><li><span style="color:#000000;">Once you've gotten everything laid out to your liking, remove the backing from another sheet of contact paper. Now, with a steady hand, lay the sticky side down without creating bubbles in the paper. Smooth out any bubbles the best you can.</span></li> <br /><li><span style="color:#000000;">Cut the place mat to whatever shape and size you wish. Now you have fun, creative place mats that you can truly call your own!</span></li> <br /><li><span style="color:#000000;">For more ideas, see </span><a title="Make Placemats from Greeting Cards" href="http://www.blogger.com/Make-Placemats-from-Greeting-Cards"><span style="color:#000000;">How to Make Placemats from Greeting Cards</span></a><span style="color:#000000;">.</span></li> <br /><li><span style="color:#000000;">You can also use leaves!

With the relatively recent dawn of the information age, it is now possible to do so. There are many sites that have free access to movies and TV shows, it's just a matter of finding them. Here's how to save your valuable time and cash and watch movies and TV online for free:<a name="Steps"></a> <br /><h2>Steps </h2><ol><li>Make sure you have all the needed software/plug-ins. (You'll need Adobe Flash Player, DivX, Windows Media Player/VLC Media Player, and you may also need QuickTime and Real Player, however those are optional.)</li><li>Choose your site: <ul><li><a class="external text" title="<a href=" href="http://www.hulu.com/">http://www.hulu.com/</a>" rel="nofollow">Hulu</a></li><li><a class="external text" title="<a href=" href="http://www.joost.com/epg/us/shows/o/channel/thumbnail/">http://www.joost.com/epg/us/shows/o/channel/thumbnail/</a>" rel="nofollow">Joost</a></li><li><a class="external text" title="<a href=" href="http://www.youtube.com/shows">http://www.youtube.com/shows</a>" rel="nofollow">Youtube Shows</a></li><li><a class="external text" title="<a href=" href="http://www.watch-movies-links.net/">http://www.watch-movies-links.net/</a>" rel="nofollow">Watch-movies.net</a></li><li><a class="external text" title="<a href=" href="http://www.surfthechannel.com/">http://www.surfthechannel.com/</a>" rel="nofollow">SurfTheChannel</a></li><li><a class="external text" title="<a href=" href="http://tour.ireel.com/tour2/home?ref=385" ref="385">http://tour.ireel.com/tour2/home?ref=385</a>" rel="nofollow">iReel</a></li><li><a class="external text" title="<a href=" href="http://tvshack.net/">http://tvshack.net/</a>" rel="nofollow">TV Shack</a></li><li><a class="external text" title="<a href=" href="http://www.movies-on-demand.ws/">http://www.movies-on-demand.ws/</a>" rel="nofollow">Movies On Demand</a></li><li><a class="external text" title="<a href=" href="http://www.free-tv-video-online.info/">http://www.free-tv-video-online.info/</a>" rel="nofollow">Project Free TV</a></li></ul></li><li>Choose a TV show or movie from the list of options and there you go.</li><li>Or search through all sites with <ul><li><a class="external text" title="<a href=" href="http://www.ovguide.com/">http://www.ovguide.com/</a>" rel="nofollow">free online streaming search engine</a></li></ul></li><li>Find a working version video of what you are searching for and you are done.</li></ol><a name="Tips"></a><h2>Tips </h2><ul><li>Sometimes sites specifically designed to link to episodes of just one TV show have more complete listings than sites that list to many shows, so just Google, "Watch ..." and then the show you want to watch. For example: <a class="external text" title="<a href=" href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;q=Watch+Avatar%3A+The+Last+Airbender&amp;btnG=Google+Search" hl="en&amp;q=" btng="Google+Search">http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;q=Watch+Avatar%3A+The+Last+Airbender&amp;btnG=Google+Search</a>" rel="nofollow">Avatar: The Last Airbender</a> or <a class="external text" title="<a href=" href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;q=Watch+Family+Guy&amp;btnG=Search" hl="en&amp;q=" btng="Search">http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;q=Watch+Family+Guy&amp;btnG=Search</a>" rel="nofollow">Family Guy</a>. Note: This may only work for fairly popular TV shows.</li><li>You may need to check more than one site, since a listed movie or TV show may not actually be available when you go to play it.</li><li>Use your favorite web browser to navigate to the free movie site. Firefox may be preferred as it can be faster in many situations, but some media players that the sites use may work best, or only, with Internet Explorer.</li><li>It is highly recommended that you download <a class="external text" title="<a href=" href="http://www.videoaccelerator.com/">http://www.videoaccelerator.com/</a>" rel="nofollow">SpeedBit Video Accelerator</a> for a much quicker streaming experience for videos from a plethora of different websites.</li></ul><a name="Warnings"></a><h2>Warnings </h2><ul><li>Do not download or install software to watch this kind of programming.
