List It, Link It ~ Do-It-Yourself Projects for 2011

I read this idea on Money Saving Mom and love the concept of scheduling one DIY project for each month. These are all projects I've (we've) never done before. We'll update you as we complete each one.

Do-It-Yourself Experiments for 2011

January: Make Homemade Soft Pretzels ~ We made these last weekend. We'll be posting our experiment results soon.

February: Make Cake Balls (or Cake Truffles) ~ I have some Cherry Flavored Morsels that will be great for Valentine's Day.

March: Make Split Pea Shamrock Bean Bags ~ My first attempt at sewing vinyl.

April: Make Naturally Dyed Easter Eggs 

May: Make at least one Toddler or Twin Sized Wide Striped Quilt ~ I'm hoping this isn't too ambitious!

June: Make 3-Tiered Skirts for the Girls ~ Since we can't seem to find skirts long enough.

July: Create a Space for the Kids' Artwork ~ Maybe something like this.

August: Make something using Glue Batik ~ I'm thinking t-shirts & onesies.

September: Make something using a Freezer Paper Stencil ~ Probably another t-shirt, maybe as a Christmas present.

October: Make an Indoor Sensory Box ~ Just in time for cooler weather and inside play.

November: Make Snowman Handprint Ornaments ~ Finally!

December: Make Homemade Marshmallows ~ If they turn out well, we'll pair them with some hot chocolate mix and pass them out to our neighbors.

Are you planning any first time DIY projects for this year? We'd love to hear about them.
