I love the 80s, do you love them too? Crafting With Cat Hair is a huge 80s fangirl, and has several 80s-themed craft tutorials, including this cute felt iPod cozy that looks like a cassette tape. For less than a dollar, you can make this cute iPod case, and it will take you less than an hour. I have some dollar store non-slip shelf-liner on hand, so I am going to line my cozy with the shelf liner to make sure my iPod doesn’t slip out of the case. [how to make a cassette tape iPod case]

Project Estimate:

• Craft felt, on hand or $.25 per color
• Embroidery floss, on hand
• Needle and thread or sewing machine, on hand
• Non-slip shelf liner (optional), $1

Total: FREE and up

The awesome zipper ideas keep coming from our Super Secret Stashbusting crafters! This time, Heather at Wax Eloquent came up with this brand new never-before-seen way to use zippers. She took some zippers I sent her (in a completely crazy envelope of mismatching stuff), and turned them into a great cuff. This is a no-sew project, and a great way to use up old zippers (I have a thrifted bag of zippers that weighs about ten pounds, so keep the zipper ideas coming, kids!)

Project Estimate:

• 4 zippers, on hand or $1 each
• Ribbon, on hand
• Cardboard roll, on hand
