Lowe's Creative Ideas Magazine :: Holiday 2011

The latest edition of Lowe's Creative Ideas Magazine found its way into my mailbox last week. Of course it's chock full of holiday season goodness! Below are my three favorite DIYs from the issue.

Use square dowels to create a wooden star of David. Leave it plain or snazz it up with fabric or wrap it in yarn!

Using peel and stick shelf liner create an optical Christmas tree on your steps! If we didn't have carpeting on our stairs I would totally be doing this. It's magical!

Ceiling medallions and PVC endcaps create sweet cake stands. Simple and sweet!

Lowe's Creative Ideas Magazines.

Did you know that Lowe's puts out three different creative ideas magazines a couple of times throughout the year? I've been having them delivered to my mailbox for a while now, and they are always full of storage inspiration and awesome projects! The last issue of "Creative Ideas for Home and Garden" was one of my favorites yet. I mean, 23 easy project for under $55?! What's not to love about that?

Super cute "mumpkins" on page 8 are created by using an awl to poke holes approximately 1/2" apart around the entire pumpkin, cutting individual flower stems to about 2.5" and sticking them in the holes. The moisture in the pumpkin will keep the mumpkin looking good for 3 to 4 days.

The woven headboard made from birch plywood on page 40 is a stunner.

Looking for some mod and minimalist woodland inspired wall art? Make it yourself out of wooden dowels and a mounting board!

But hold on to your britches, I haven't mentioned the best part yet. Subscription to these magazines is FREE at the Lowes Creative Ideas website. Head on over and sign up!
