Use scraps of fabrics and stuffing to create cute toys like these. I love the one with the mustache. Cute crafts like this prove that everything doesnt have to be perfect, especially for an amateur seamstress like me.

Oil Jar Photo Display

An interesting way to use mason jars is to make it into a one-of-a-kind picture frame. The clear jars would be best for this, and by pouring olive oil (try to avoid the garlic kind — could get stinky!) in the jar with an upright picture, you can get a sepia effect and a new way to display your pics.”
