I first saw these spheres on Pinterest from Hill Country Homebody and loved them. I got so excited when I learned they were made with nothing more than embroidery hoops, thumbtacks and stain, because I HAVE all those things! Let’s do this!
So easy. Take two hoops of the same size. Take them apart, so you have a total of four hoops. Stain. (I used Kona by Rustoleum first, then Sunbleached over that to lighten it up. These are my faaaaaaaavorite stain colors.)
I liked how the bits of hardware from the hoops gave it an industrial feel, and I rubbed the stain all over them for an aged look too.
Ok, now you just put the hoops back together, and keep in place with the thumbtacks! The wood is light enough to pin through, you don’t need any glue or nothin’! You can stain over the thumbtacks too.

March 17, 2012 at 12:02 AMI use Q-tips to clean the grooves in between things such as the grooves in the wood on my “80’s” end tables. Also for cleaning between the vents in the forced air registers, etc. Just spray cleaner on the Q-tips and go to it!

March 17, 2012 at 1:36 AMQuips are great to clean the lining of the fridge and freezer doors! It’s amazing how much dirt is caught in there. I also like to use Q-tips to wipe off “mistakes” on any detailed painting, you can quickly wipe anything especially on smooth finished items. I love the hutches featured on your blog, they are just going to strengthen my cl addiction. Karianne42 at yahoo

March 17, 2012 at 4:41 AMNicely done, lady! I have to admit, my favorite use for qtips is the much tabooed-yet-original-use-for-the-qtip, inciting an eargasm as I clean out that nasty wax from my ears!

March 17, 2012 at 2:15 PMOh by the way, I had to see an ENT (ear, nose and throat specialist) a year ago and both the nurse and doc commented on how clean my ears were. They couldn’t believe it.
I told them that all I do is dip a Q-tip in a little baby oil and clean the outer parts of my ears. I try to do this a couple times a week. However, I don’t do it daily because we do need ear wax.

March 18, 2012 at 8:56 PMI use them for chalking work on my altered books and scrapbooking projects – regular q tips are great for blending, but the precision tips are the only way to get a neat, sharp line in chalk!

March 19, 2012 at 2:08 PMWow, I can’t believe you guys use Q-tips to clean! That’s quite ambitious… now I feel like a slob! My favorite (and most frequent) use for Q-tips is applying antibiotic ointment to my boo-boos… I’m clumsy.
Jamie
March 19, 2012 at 9:32 PMWe have a sliding shower door and hard water – that buildup is NASTY!~! A little CLR on the end of a Q Tip gets all that gunk from the corners of the door. LOVE!~!

March 19, 2012 at 7:14 PMI mainly use the q-tips for personal hygiene (cleaning the ears-feels so good 🙂 ) or for make-up. Those precision tips look great though-like they are super q-tips. Thanks for the giveaway and your wonderful blog.
