New Year ~ News & Changes
Happy New Year! I'm getting organized with some new changes.
I have a couple of announcements including schedule changes from every Thursday to every other Sunday, starting today. So the next episode with be in two weeks.
Also I have added an interactive element to the Handi Mandi TV website where you can see what projects I have in the works and leave feeback, requests, comments, etc. The next project is a jewellery display out of an old picture frame, door knobs, etc. So be sure to check that out.
The rest of the episode you can follow along with me as I get organized with an at home organizer that was inspired by At Home With Nikki, another youtuber that happens to follow me and I followed back. She has some great stuff on getting organized, at home entertaining, etc. So check her out here:

I'm getting more organized this year and that includes making something to display my jewellery where I can see it, so I'll be prompted to wear it more often. I made two frames, one for my mom and one for me, and it cost me approximately $20 for both. This will alternate if you already have some of these items or you can find a better price. You can also compensate for the cost if you make additional ones and sell them. (If I were to sell the ones I made, the larger one would be $35 and the smaller one $30, simply b/c it was painted).
What you will need:
THRIFT STORE:
Vintage and/or carved wood frames (Bible's For Missions $2.00 each in the wharehouse, ask clerk for assistance, prices may vary)
Vintage Door Knobs to match frame (you may need to repaint them to match)
WAL-MART:
Krylon Aerosol Spray Paint in Brilliant Gold (or another metallic of your choice) [the hardware cloth already comes in silver, so repaint it to match your frame as desired]
OPTIONAL: Hot Glue Gun (depending on the thickness of the base of your door knobs, they may not screw on all the way b/c of the tight space)
HARDWARE STORE:
Hardware Cloth (smallest roll was approx. $7.99)
1/8" or 3mm Peg Board (smallest size and you can ask them to cut it down to desired sizes for you)
DOLLAR STORE:
Acrylic Paint
OPTIONAL: Sand Paper (My door knobs needed to be sanded down in order for the paint to adhere)
OPTIONAL: Hot glue for glue gun
PAINT STORE (that sells wallpaper and gives samples):
FREE samples of wallpaper (if you cannot find desired pattern or colour, you can choose a plain white with or without embossing and paint yourself)
GARAGE/ TOOL SHED:
Pliers
Snips
Hammer
Electric Hand Drill
Drill Bits (for Pre-Drilling the holes for your door knobs to prevent your frame from cracking)
Bits (to push screws into your frame for door knobs)
Square bit (to hammer staples into frame if they're longer)
Industrial Staple Gun
Industrial Staples
Electric Saw or Chop Saw (to cut your boards to desired length if they don't do it at the hardware store)
Measuring Tape
Work Gloves
OPTIONAL: Handy Assistant knowledgeable in construction (My brother Stephen helped me)
RUMMAGE:
Tape
Scissors
Ruler
Marker
Sponge (check your cleaning supplies)
Old Rag (or you can use an old sock and cut open)
Paint Palette or paper/plastic plate
Newspaper
