Got an hour? (11 DIY Projects You Can Bust Out - In About an Hour!)

Cassie is having a partay celebrating the projects you can bust out  - in about an hour.

If you know me at all - you know that this is just my speed!  I rarely have the attention span to make it past an hour.  I decided to round up some of my favorite done-in-about-an-hour projects starting with my newest.  

I busted this one out in less than 20 minutes yesterday  - no joke - it took longer to photograph and write up this post.    

First of all, have you heard.......

Duct tape got a makeover.....and she's super hot now!  You've seen Nester's wall right?  (She used a different brand - but same stuff basically.)

Well, who's surprised that I picked up a roll of gold?   No one. 

1. Gold Leaf a frame with duct tape!

I've been wanting to frame this old Four Roses advertising print I picked up back in December during a tour of the distilery.  I finally got around to it thanks to inspiration from who would have thought - Duct Tape?  I wrapped the frame leaving the corners black and then plopped it in my kitchen to greet me when I make my coffee.  

If black corners aren't your thing, how about......

2. Adding gold corners to your black frames with rub 'n buff.



Why let your frames have all the fun.

3. Add grosgrain ribbon stripes to a lamp shade.

10. Bust out the hot glue gun and add trim to your curtain panels.

You can get quite a bit done is about an hour.  And thank goodness too - 'cause who has more than an hour lately?  School is back in session for my kiddos, and I'm busier than ever!
