Slide an old case over a fan's blade then pull the fabric back, keeping all the dust and dirt contained.

How to Clean Your Ceiling Fan... We love this trick for dusting off the blades of a grimy ceiling fan without getting a face full of dust. Simply slide each blade, one at a time, into a pillowcase and wipe off the blade with the inside of the pillowcase. All the dust, dirt, and debris will stay inside. Then simply shake out the case outside and throw it in the laundry bin. by shawn

How To Clean Your Ceiling Fan - the pillow case on one ceiling fan blade. Then slowly pull it off taking all the dust and dirt with it. Repeat with each blade. It’s that easy.

took an old window and painted the back using paint and my star stencil. I used both house paint and craft paint that I had on hand. I added a touch of brown to my white because I wanted a more distressed look on my old window. I started with the white, wait for it all to dry then paint blue over the white stars in one thick stroke. Do another coat when it drys if desired. Then paint the red stripes by Carrie Pittman Nance

I just took an old plastic bin and wiped it down. Then I spray painted the outer parts first with a metallic/gold then got a spray paint gold glitter and put that over it. The front of the bins are painted in the chalkboard paint to help label my drawers! Very simple and took me maybe 30 minutes all together. Easy office decorations by elinor

I found an old wooden desk and repurposed it using my fabric for inspiration--The drawers on the other side are all different colors of the flowers--I took my fabric to Lowe's and had them match about 8 of my favorite colors in the little sample bottles and then used them to paint my desk, the legs of a wooden table and so on. I still have paint left over. Samples are the perfect answer to this type project. Waxed the desk when painting was completed. by caroline

For an easy style, he recommends applying sea salt spray all over the hair and then blowing it dry to add texture and even more volume. by hannahmnt
