hex nut bracelet DIY

You will need:

3 on yard strands of twine or leather band 

 16 small brass hex nuts

How to make:

Gather the 3 strands of twine and tie a knot at the top, 

leaving about 2 inches of slack and start braiding. An inch or more of the

 way down, begin braiding in the nuts. Before you braid the far 

left strand over the middle strand, thread on a nut onto your leather band
or twine, then push it against the base of the braid, and cross it over. 

Keeping your thumb at the base of the braid, hold the nut in place. 
 Before you braid the far right strand over the middle, thread on 
another nut onto your twine or band and
 push it against the base of the braid and crossover. 
hold your thumb tightly against the base of the braid
to help keep the nuts in place. Then hread another nut
 onto the far left piece and crossover.

Repeat the steps with the remaining nuts. 

 Finish the bracelet 
with another inch of braid  and knot to close!

Voila!

We know it's not easy sometimes to follow word instructions.
So come on by Schnarr's Hardware tongiht from 7-8:30 and
we can give you hands on instructions to make one
yourself!

The Night We Met-Lord Huron

mason jar orgainzer diy

We have somewhat of an obsession with mason jars. We know 

we aren't the only ones. Our obsession has caused us to accumulate

quite a few extra jars over the years, so we decided to get

thrifty and find another use for them. We landed on this

amazing mason jar organizer, equipped with jars and hooks 

for an abundance of uses.

Here’s what you’ll need for this project.

Supplies:

mason jars; we used five

hose clamps; we found ours at Schnarrs Hardware

scrap wood (also found at Schnarrs)

frame hanging kit

hammer and nails

drill and screws

wire grate; for decoration
Gold spray pain; for decoration
4-5 hooks (of your choice).

If we can do this project, anyone can! We know hardware stores can be

a little indimidating, but your local hardware store should have 

someone in the store to help you find the supplies you need. For all

those in the STL area, we found Schnarr's to be incredibly helpful, and even fun!

We love gold. We decided to take some Valspar

metallic gold spray paint and coat it over the silver

grate. To attach the metal grate, we drilled it down

on all four corners, and then down the middle. We used

matching gold screws for this.

The hose clamp was a little more tricky. First, we layed out

the clamps onto the board to measure out the spacing. We then

marked the places where we would be reinforcing them into

the board. Once we were ready to reinforce the hose clamp to the board

we lined our first clamp to our first marking.  We used a hammer and nail

for this part. To get the hole started for the nail (since the opening is a bit

smaller)  we used a small drill bit to open it up a bit more. Then we took our nail

and hammered the clamp into the board. We hammered two nails in each clamp

about an inch apart. We then placed our mason jars into the clamps.



Lastly we attached the hooks. Before we attached the hooks,

we spray painted them gold, just like the wire grate. Once the

hooks were fully dry, we reinforced them into the board using

the gold screws and the power drill. We decided to places ours

in between each of the mason jars at the bottom of the board.

Once your orgainzer is complete, take your frame hanging set

and attach it to the back of your board so you can

hang your organizer wherever you'd like!

Voila!

You now have your very own mason jar organizer!

The best thing about this DIY is you can use it for virtually anything!

You can use it as a bathroom organizer for toilitries and towels, in the

kitchen for untensils and towels, your closet, or anywhere you need it!

We are please with the results and can't wait to use it!

Classpass

 We have had the opportunity this month to try out classpass STL.

We were excited! We had heard so many great things about it

and when we heard it was in St. Louis, we knew we wanted to see

what it was all about. We have been loving it so much, we thought we 

would share our experienceand favorite classes so far.

For those of you who don't know, classpass

is designed to help you explore tons of amazing studios 

and classes in your city. It helps you to challenge yourself with 

different ways to work out, and get you into the kind of fitness 

you feel passionate about.

So far we have totally falling in love with Barre and night yoga classes that are relaxing and take away the stress of the day. We have found studio both near our work and home and some we can even walk to which is a nice warm-up and cool-down. We can't wait to try ballet tonight, which we have been talking about trying for what seems like years. If you'd like to check out class pass click HERE.
