PLAID - CREATIVE IDEAS MADE EASY.

I FOUND THESE DUCT CAP COVERS AT A HARDWARE STORE THAT LOOK LIKE METAL BOWLS.

THEY'RE A PERFECT CATCH-ALL AND DON'T COST A LOT OF MONEY.

THEY ALSO COME IN A VARIETY OF SIZES.

THIS DISPLAY IS GREAT FOR JEWELRY, BAKED GOODS, CANDLES OR CENTERPIECES.

AND PETER IS HERE TO SHOW US HOW TO PUT IT ALL TOGETHER.

PETER MARR HAS EXPERIENCE IN ALL REALMS OF CONSTRUCTION FROM CELEBRITY HOMES TO THE SET WE'RE STANDING ON RIGHT NOW.

FOR THE PAST TEN YEARS HE'S BEEN THE HOST OF A VARIETY OF HOME DECOR TELEVISION SHOWS, SHARING HIS KNOWLEDGE OF BUILDING.

TO TOP IT ALL OFF, PETER IS AN AWARD-WINNING COMIC.

I WENT TO THE THRIFT STORE AND PICKED UP THESE CANDLE HOLDERS FOR ABOUT FIVE BUCKS, A BUCK EACH.

AWESOME.

SO WHAT I THOUGHT WE WOULD DO IS JUST CREATE A TIERED DISPLAY WITH THESE USING SOME INDUSTRIAL GLUE, JUST GLUING THEM TOGETHER JUST LIKE THAT.

ONCE THE GLUE IS DRY WE'RE GOING TO TAKE IT OUTSIDE, HIT IT WITH A PRIMER AND GIVE IT A HAMMERED FINISH WITH A SPECIAL SPRAY PAINT.

THAT'S KIND OF AWESOME, MARK.

NOW THIS WOULD BE REALLY FUN FOR A PARTY.

YOU COULD SPRAY PAINT THEM PINK OR RED OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

FILL THEM WITH JELLYBEANS, MAKE THEM REALLY COLORFUL.

HARD CANDIES OR COOKIES COULD BE GREAT OR I REALLY LIKE THE IDEA OF USING THIS FOR A JEWELRY DISPLAY.

IF YOU HAVE A LOT OF NECKLACES AND EARRINGS AND BANGLES AND STUFF LIKE THAT THIS WOULD BE REALLY FUN FOR SOMETHING LIKE THAT ON YOUR DRESSER.

MARK, THIS IS BRILLIANT AND EASY TO DO.

SUPER EASY TO DO.

SO ALL WE'RE GOING TO DO IS GRAB OUR INDUSTRIAL GLUE - AND BE GENEROUS WITH IT BECAUSE WE WANT THESE TO BE NICE AND STURDY.

THE GREAT THING ABOUT INDUSTRIAL GLUE IS THAT IT GLUES ALMOST ANY SURFACE TO ANY SURFACE.

SO GLASS TO METAL IS NO PROBLEM FOR THAT STUFF.

NO PROBLEM AT ALL.

SO WE'RE JUST GOING TO PUT IT RIGHT IN THE CENTER JUST LIKE THAT.

THERE'S A TINY DIMPLE IN THE CENTER OF THIS CAP COVER SO WE CAN CENTER IT PRETTY EASILY.

IT'S A LOT EASIER WHEN YOU GOT THAT LITTLE DIMPLE RIGHT IN THERE TO CUT INTO.

NEXT WE'RE GOING TO TAKE THIS ONE... DO THE SAME THING... JUST ADD A BUNCH OF GLUE.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT BEING MESSY WITH THE GLUE IF YOU SEE IT ON THE INSIDE OF THE GLASS BECAUSE ONCE IT'S PAINTED YOU WON'T SEE ANYTHING.

IT'LL LOOK PERFECT AND EVERYTHING WILL LOOK LIKE IT'S MADE OF THE EXACT SAME MATERIAL.

SO THERE'S THAT.

THAT LOOKS PRETTY GOOD, IT'S PRETTY CENTERED.

I WANT TO GO WITH THE MEDIUM.

PUT A LITTLE GLUE HERE IN THE CENTER... AND LET'S SEE... LET'S CENTER THAT JUST LIKE THAT.

THAT'S PRETTY GOOD, HUH?

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR THIS GLUE TO DRY?

I'D SAY ABOUT... WELL, AN HOUR TO CURE.

BUT YOU COULD PROBABLY SPRAY PAINT IT IN ABOUT 15 MINUTES.

THAT'S AWESOME.

OKAY, SO WE'VE GOT THIS ONE WHICH I REALLY LIKE.

WE COULD GO HIGHER IF WE WANTED BUT I THINK THAT TWO IS JUST FINE.

SO WE'VE GOT THESE OTHER PIECES AND I THINK THESE MIGHT BE GOOD AS SINGLES.

SO WE CAN USE THIS SMALL ONE FOR THIS ONE... BIG ONE ON THE BIG ONE... AND THIS MEDIUM ONE ON THE ONE A BIT LOWER.

THAT MAKES A REALLY NICE DISPLAY.

SO IF YOU SELL THINGS AT A FLEA MARKET OR IF YOU HAVE A BIG DRESSER YOU NEED TO FILL UP WITH SOME FUN THINGS AND YOU WANT A GREAT PLACE TO PUT YOUR JEWELRY OR IF YOU HAVE A PARTY AND YOU WANT TO PILE MACAROONS OR COOKIES OR SOMETHING LIKE THIS, THESE WOULD BE GREAT FOR THAT.

OR IF YOU WANT TO FEEL LIKE ROYALTY.

CHEERS TO YOU, SIR.

TO THE MINIONS.

DON'T USE HOT GLUE FOR THIS PROJECT BECAUSE HOT GLUE AND METAL DO NOT WORK TOGETHER.

ALRIGHT, WE'VE GOT ONE LEFT OVER.

PERFECT FOR LIKE A LITTLE HAT.

(MONKEY SOUNDS) ALRIGHT, WE'RE GOING TO LET THESE DRY FOR A FEW MINUTES, THEN TAKE IT OUTSIDE AND HIT IT WITH A PRIMER.

THEN WE'RE GOING TO HIT IT WITH SOMETHING CALLED A HAMMERED FINISH, IT'S GOING TO LOOK AMAZING.

AND IT'S GOING TO MAKE EVERYTHING LOOK LIKE IT'S MADE OUT OF THE SAME MATERIAL.

PLACE THEM ON YOUR DRESSER AND YOU'VE GOT A PERFECT PLACE TO DISPLAY YOUR JEWELRY.

AND THERE YOU HAVE IT, PETER.

DUCT CAP COVER DISPLAYS, PERFECT FOR YOUR NEXT PARTY OR FOR A JEWELRY DISPLAY, WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO WITH THEM.

DID WE SERIOUSLY GO FROM THIS... TO THIS IN 20 MINUTES?

YEAH, WE DID.

IMPRESSIVE.

DECODEN ORIGINATED IN JAPAN AND IS A REALLY POPULAR WAY TO ADD EXCITEMENT TO PHONE COVERS, BOXES, OR ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO DECORATE.

TODAY WE'RE GOING TO DECODEN THE TOPS OF JARS TO CREATE SOME STORAGE FOR MY BEADS AND GLASS PIECES.

THIS IS A GREAT WAY TO RECYCLE THOSE GLASS JARS YOU'RE ALWAYS GETTING RID OF.

THE BEST PART IS THAT YOU CAN USE TRADITIONAL PLUMBER'S CAULKING FOR THIS TECHNIQUE WHICH CAN COST AS LITTLE AS ONE DOLLAR.

I WILL WARN YOU, THOUGH...

IT'S PRETTY ADDICTING.

SO I'M STARTING WITH A PLAIN JAR LID.

IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE COLOR OF THE LID JUST TAKE IT OUTSIDE AND SPRAY PAINT IT BECAUSE A LITTLE BIT OF IT WILL SHOW.

FOR THIS PROJECT I'M USING PAINTER'S CAULK AND A VERY SIMPLE SORT OF STARFISH TIP.

I'M PUTTING IT RIGHT ON TOP OF THE TUBE OF THE PAINTER'S CAULK AND WE'RE JUST GOING TO DECORATE IT LIKE WE'RE DECORATING A CUPCAKE STARTING FROM THE CENTER AND WORKING OUR WAY OUT.

YOU CAN SEE WE'RE JUST GOING AROUND AND AROUND STARTING FROM THE CENTER AND WE'RE ABOUT TO DO THE OUTER EDGE.

SO YOU CAN SEE WE'VE FROSTED THE JAR LID AND NOW WE'RE GOING TO DECORATE IT.

YOU CAN USE ALL DIFFERENT KINDS OF THINGS.

TRADITIONAL DECODEN PIECES CAN BE VERY EXPENSIVE SO I WENT TO THE DOLLAR STORE AND FOUND ALL KINDS OF THINGS LIKE SETS OF EARRINGS THAT ARE REALLY CUTE.

I ALSO FOUND THESE SPARKLY BOWS AND HEARTS.

AND I'M JUST GOING TO USE SOME THINGS LIKE PEARL BEADS AND SOME LITTLE CHARACTERS THAT I FOUND.

AND THESE ARE ACTUALLY FROM HAIR BANDS SO IT'S REALLY UP TO YOU.

HERE'S A BIG BLUE HEART.

JUST GONNA PUSH THAT IN.

GOING TO TAKE SOME SMALL BLUE PEARLS AND GO AROUND THE EDGE.

I'LL BET YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT WHAT YOU CAN USE FOR THIS PROJECT ALREADY.

IF YOU HAVE REALLY BIG FINGERS SOMETIMES IT HELPS TO USE A PAIR OF TWEEZERS.

THE GREAT THING ABOUT PAINTER'S CAULK IN SILICONE IS THAT YOU HAVE A GOOD 20-25 MINUTES BEFORE IT STARTS TO SET.

LET'S ADD A LITTLE BLUE STRAWBERRY.

NOW IF YOU DO BUY SETS OF EARRINGS LIKE I DID, YOU'RE GOING TO NEED A PAIR OF WIRE CUTTERS TO CLIP OFF THE BACK.

ONE OF THE GREAT THINGS ABOUT DECODEN IS THAT YOU CAN PERSONALIZE IT ANY WAY YOU WANT TO.

I'VE ACTUALLY ADDED FOOD COLORING TO THE PAINTER'S CAULK AND USED A FROSTING TUBE BEFORE I APPLIED IT TO THE JAR LIDS AND GOT SOME REALLY BEAUTIFUL PINKS AND LIGHT BLUES.

THE OTHER THING YOU COULD DO IS ADD THOSE LITTLE MAGNETIC LETTERS TO REALLY PERSONALIZE IT.

THERE WE GO.

I'M CHALLENGING YOU TO BE AS CREATIVE AS YOU CAN WITH YOUR DECODEN PROJECT.

SEND US PICTURES ON FACEBOOK AND TWITTER.

ONCE YOU'RE DONE PUTTING IN YOUR DECORATIONS, PUT IT IN A SAFE PLACE TO DRY FOR AT LEAST 12 HOURS.

LOOKS LIKE A CUPCAKE, TASTES LIKE A BATHTUB.

I LOVE CEMENT PLANTERS BUT I'M NOT WILLING TO SPEND A FORTUNE ON THEM FOR MY YARD.

I FIGURED OUT A WAY TO USE REGULAR CEMENT TO MAKE BEAUTIFUL PLANTERS FOR VERY LITTLE MONEY.

IT'S A REALLY SIMPLE PROCESS AND YOU CAN USE ONE BOWL TO MAKE AS MANY AS YOU WANT.

PETER'S HERE AGAIN SO LET'S GET STARTED.

RIGHT HERE WE HAVE A BIG PLASTIC PLANTER THAT WE'RE GOING TO USE AS A MOLD.

RIGHT HERE - SMALL PLASTIC PLANTER...

FITS IN THE BIG PLASTIC PLANTER.

IT'S GOING TO BE A PLASTIC PLANTER MOLD.

SAY THAT SEVEN TIMES REALLY FAST.

THIS DOES LOOK KIND OF CHEAP BUT I DO LIKE THE SHAPE OF IT.

THAT'S WHY WE'RE GOING TO USE THE SHAPE OF IT TO MOLD THE OUTSIDE OF OUR STONE PLANTER.

AND WHAT WE'RE GOING TO USE FOR THE STONE PORTION OF THE STONE PLANTER IS RAPID SETTING CEMENT.

THIS STUFF SETS UP FAST SO OUR WINDOW OF TIME IN WORKING WITH IT IS VERY SMALL.

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING, 15 OR 20 MINUTES?

15 OR 20 MINUTES MAX.

SO WHILE YOU'RE MIXING THAT I JUST WANT TO LET PEOPLE KNOW THAT A LOT OF PLANTERS HAVE HOLES IN THE BOTTOM AND SINCE WE'RE USING THIS AS A MOLD I WENT AHEAD AND PUT SOME TAPE ON THE INSIDE TO COVER UP THE HOLE SO THE CEMENT WON'T SEEP OUT THE BOTTOM.

AND I DID THE SAME ON THIS.

PERFECT.

TO MIX THE RAPID SETTING CEMENT, FIRST ADD WATER TO A BUCKET AND THEN ADD THE POWDER.

NOW THERE IS A RATIO.

YOU GOTTA PUT ENOUGH WATER IN AND ENOUGH POWDER IN.

ON THE BACK THERE'S USUALLY DIRECTIONS.

WHEN YOU'RE A PRO LIKE MYSELF YOU DON'T NEED DIRECTIONS.

STOP, STOP, STOP.

AND THEN I'M GONNA SET THIS IN JUST LIKE THAT.

AND THEN YOU'RE GOING TO POUR AROUND.

RIGHT NOW WE'RE USING THE CENTER POT TO BLOCK OUT A SPACE IN THE MIDDLE AND WE'RE POURING THE CEMENT AROUND IT.

JUST A SMALL TIP: IF YOU ARE GOING TO MIX AN ENTIRE BAG YOU MAY WANT TO LEAVE A LITTLE BIT LEFT IN THE BAG JUST IN CASE IT'S TOO RUNNY.

I'M HOLDING THE BUCKET IN PLACE BECAUSE IT DOES TRY TO SLIP OUT A LITTLE BIT.

YOU COULD FILL IT WITH ROCKS IF YOU WERE DOING THIS PROJECT BY YOURSELF BUT WE DON'T HAVE ANY ROCKS.

THAT LOOKS PRETTY GOOD.

I GOTCHA.

GO AROUND THE EDGES...

SPIN ME.

I'M SPINNING YOU... YOU'RE DOING A GREAT JOB HOLDING THAT BUCKET IN PLACE.

BOTH OF THEM.

COULD HAVE JUST GONE OUTSIDE AND GOT SOME ROCKS.

THEN WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

I WOULDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO DURING THIS SEGMENT.

WATCH YOU TRY TO MIX THAT CEMENT.

LIKE A CHEF.

THAT'S ALL WE GOT.

LET'S PUT THAT JUG OF WATER IN THERE, SEE IF IT'LL KEEP THIS IN PLACE FOR A WHILE.

PRETTY GOOD.

THE NEXT THING WE'RE GOING TO DO IS WAIT FOR IT TO SET.

WE'VE SET OUR POT IN THE CENTER, GOT OUR NICE LITTLE SHAPE GOING ON.

WE'RE JUST GOING TO WAIT FOR THE CEMENT TO DRY.

IT'S DRY!

I'M EXCITED.

YOU'VE DONE THIS BEFORE, RIGHT, MARK?

SMALLER VERSIONS.

THIS IS THE BIGGEST POT YOU'VE DONE?

PRETTY MUCH.

LES FLIP THE WHOLE THING OVER AND SEE IF WE CAN TAKE OFF THE BASE.

OKAY.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO TO GET THE OUTSIDE COVER OFF IS BASICALLY TIP IT OVER.

NICE.

ONE THING TO BE AWARE OF WHEN YOU'RE USING QUICK DRYING CEMENT, THERE'S A CHEMICAL REACTION WHICH MAKES IT HARDEN FASTER THAN NORMAL CEMENT.

AND THAT REACTION IS GOING TO MAKE IT VERY, VERY HOT.

SO YOU MAY WANT TO GRAB A PAIR OF GLOVES IF YOU'RE GONNA BE WORKING WITH IT SOON AFTER IT SETS.

READY?

MOMENT OF TRUTH.

SO IF YOU SEE ON THE SIDE, YOU CAN PRESS DOWN ON THE INTERIOR POT.

THAT WAY UP IN HERE YOU CAN SEE WHERE IT SEPARATES FROM THE INTERIOR WALL.

ALRIGHT, WE NEED TO SAND THIS UP A TINY BIT.

AND BEFORE WE SAND IT WE CAN TAKE A TROWEL AND KNOCK OFF SOME OF THE BIGGER CHUNKS...

BIGGER PIECES.

ONE THING TO REMEMBER, IF YOU'RE GOING TO USE SANDPAPER TO SMOOTH OUT THE EDGES, YOU'RE USING SANDPAPER ON STONE SO THE SANDPAPER MAY WEAR OUT FASTER THAN IT NORMALLY WOULD.

TASTE GOOD?

DELICIOUS.

I REALLY LOVE THE WAY THIS LOOKS.

I LIKE THE CEMENT LOOK BUT I THINK TO MAKE IT LOOK MORE SOPHISTICATED I'D LIKE TO SPRAY IT WITH A STONE FINISH, MAYBE AN OLIVE STONE OR A SANDSTONE.

THAT'S A GREAT IDEA.

ARE YOU GOING TO CARRY IT OUTSIDE?

I SUPPOSE.

YOU WANT ME TO HELP YOU?

MAYBE.

YEAH, IT'S HEAVY.

YOU MEAN HELP YOU BY CARRYING IT OUTSIDE?

♪ SO THERE YOU HAVE IT, PETER.

AN ANCIENT SANDSTONE POT IN LESS THAN AN HOUR.

WHO KNEW?

ALL STUFF YOU CAN GET FROM THE HARDWARE STORE.

HA!

WHERE DO YOU WANT IT?

FAR SIDE OF MY LAWN.

FAR SIDE OF YOUR... ON ONE TRIP TO THE HARDWARE STORE I FOUND A PLASTIC MESH USED FOR KEEPING LEAVES OUT OF YOUR GUTTERS.

OF COURSE I'M NOT INTERESTED IN USING IT FOR ITS INTENDED USE AND INSTEAD I FOUND A WAY TO USE THIS MESH TO MAKE SOME REALLY FUNKY JEWELRY.

IT'S FLEXIBLE SO THE JEWELRY IS REALLY COMFORTABLE AND YOU CAN USE ANY COLOR COMBINATION YOU WANT TO MAKE IT COMPLETELY CUSTOM.

FOR ANY BRACELET OR BANGLE PROJECT THE FIRST THING YOU'RE GOING TO WANT TO DO IS MEASURE THE WIDEST PART OF YOUR HAND.

THIS'LL MAKE SURE YOUR BRACELET IS GOING TO SLIP OVER YOUR HAND COMFORTABLY.

FOR THIS PROJECT WE'RE USING SOMETHING CALLED GUTTER GUARD.

IT'S A PLASTIC GRID MATERIAL THAT YOU PUT OVER YOUR GUTTERS ON YOUR HOUSE TO KEEP THE LEAVES OUT.

I LOVE IT BECAUSE IT'S A REALLY PLIABLE MESH AND IT'S PERFECT TO MAKE ACCESSORIES WITH.

SO WHAT I'VE DONE IS MEASURE THE WIDEST PART OF MY HAND AND I'VE ADDED ONE INCH TO THAT MEASUREMENT.

AND THEN I'VE CUT A PIECE OF GUTTER GUARD OUT JUST LIKE THIS.

YOU CAN USE ALL DIFFERENT KINDS OF BEADS FOR THIS BUT THEY JUST HAVE TO BE BIG ENOUGH SO THAT THEY DON'T FALL THROUGH THE MESH HOLES IN THE GUTTER GUARD.

GUTTER GUARD CAN BE KIND OF STUBBORN.

SO YOU MIGHT WANT TO JUST RUB IT OVER THE EDGE OF YOUR TABLE AND SEE IF YOU CAN STRAIGHTEN IT OUT.

IF YOU CAN'T YOU'LL HAVE TO PUT SOMETHING HEAVY ON IT TO KEEP IT FLAT WHILE YOU'RE WORKING ON YOUR BRACELET.

A PAIR OF SCISSORS WILL DO JUST FINE.

THE OTHER THING YOU WANT TO DO TO PREP TO MAKE THIS PROJECT IS TO WORK ON WAX PAPER.

NOW WAX PAPER IS MY LITTLE SECRET FOR GLUING THINGS BECAUSE GLUE DOES NOT STICK TO WAX PAPER.

SO IF YOUR GLUE DRIPS THROUGH YOUR PROJECT LIKE IT WILL WITH THIS BRACELET, IT WON'T STICK TO THE WAX PAPER, IT'LL JUST PEEL RIGHT OFF.

NEXT WE'RE TAKING SOME INDUSTRIAL GLUE AND OUR LARGE BEADS AND WE'RE GOING TO START GLUING THEM INSIDE OF THE GRID.

NOW WE WANT TO GLUE ACROSS THE ENTIRE BRACELET WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE ONE INCH THAT WE ADDED FOR LENGTH.

AND I'LL SHOW YOU WHY WE NEED THAT IN A MINUTE.

WE'LL TAKE OUR GLUE AND JUST MAKE A LITTLE LINE WITH IT ACROSS THE GUTTER GUARD.

JUST LIKE THAT.

TAKE OUR BEADS... AND FOR THIS ONE WE'RE GOING TO DO KIND OF A RANDOM PATTERN.

YOU CAN USE ALL DIFFERENT KINDS OF BEADS FOR A PROJECT LIKE THIS.

PONY BEADS WORK REALLY WELL AND COME IN ALL DIFFERENT TYPES OF FINISHES.

AN OPALESCENT FINISH, FLUORESCENT COLORS, JUST REALLY STRONG GOOD COLORS AND BECAUSE IT'S A BIG BEAD IT'LL WORK WELL FOR THIS.

I LOVE THESE FACETED PLASTIC BEADS BECAUSE THEY'RE INEXPENSIVE AND YOU CAN FIND THEM PRETTY MUCH ANYWHERE.

ALL OF THESE COLORS TOGETHER MIGHT BE DRIVING SOME OF YOU A BIT CRAZY BUT YOU CAN DO ALL KINDS OF THINGS.

LOOK AT THIS WITH A STRIPED PATTERN.

DOESN'T THAT LOOK AMAZING?

AND THEN THIS ONE, SOLID.

AND HERE'S ANOTHER ONE I REALLY LIKE.

IT'S JUST MULTI COLORS BUT THEY'RE ALL OPALESCENT.

NOW THIS BRACELET I'VE FINISHED WITH A FLUORESCENT BEAD.

AND YOU CAN SEE THAT I LEFT ONE INCH OF THE GUTTER GUARD UNFINISHED.

THIS IS WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO NEXT.

WE'LL PUT SOME INDUSTRIAL GLUE ON IT, JUST LIKE THAT.

BE GENEROUS WITH IT.

YOU CAN WIPE SOME OF IT OFF.

YOU'RE GOING TO FOLD YOUR BRACELET, JUST LIKE THAT.

AND THEN YOU'RE GOING TO CLIP IT WITH SOME CLOTHESPINS... AND LET IT DRY...

IN YOUR BANGLE SHAPE.

AND LET THAT DRY ON TOP OF THE WAX PAPER.

NOW WHEN THE INDUSTRIAL GLUE IS DRY TAKE OFF THE CLOTHESPINS AND YOU'VE GOT SOMETHING AMAZING TO WEAR.

FROM HARDWARE TO EASY-TO-WEAR.

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU BUT I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A FAN OF ZIP TIES.

IT WASN'T UNTIL I DISCOVERED HOW MANY COLORS THEY COME IN THAT I WAS EVEN MORE HOOKED.

I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU A QUICK WAY TO PUT TOGETHER AN AVANT-GARDE NECKLACE THAT DISPLAYS YOUR INGENUITY AND ORIGINALITY.

I REALLY LOVE ZIP TIES.

THE MOMENT I DISCOVERED THEM I KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING AMAZING I COULD DO WITH THEM.

SO HERE'S WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO.

WE'RE GOING TO TAKE OUR COLORFUL ZIP TIES AND CREATE THEM INTO LONG SPIKY BEADS.

ONCE WE HAVE ENOUGH OF THEM WE'RE GOING TO STRING THEM ON A PIECE OF BALL CHAIN AND CREATE OUR CHOKER.

ZIP TIES COME IN A VARIETY OF COLORS.

I'VE FOUND THEM IN RED, BLUE, GREEN, YELLOW, BLACK AND WHITE.

SO ALL YOU DO IS TAKE YOUR ZIP TIE, FEED IT THROUGH THE END, AND CREATE A LOOP LARGE ENOUGH THAT YOUR BALL CHAIN CAN PASS THROUGH.

WHEN YOU DO ENOUGH OF THESE YOU CAN CREATE YOUR NECKLACE.

ALRIGHT, SO HERE WE GO.

I'M JUST GOING TO KEEP MAKING THESE UNTIL MY NECKLACE IS FULL.

DAD, I'M REALLY SORRY.

NOW YOU KNOW WHERE ALL YOUR ZIP TIES WENT.

NOW THAT I'VE MADE ALL MY SPIKY BEADS I'M JUST GOING TO THREAD THEM ON MY BALL CHAIN.

YOU CAN DO THIS ANY WAY YOU WANT.

YOU COULD ADD BEADS TO THE END OF THESE.

YOU COULD ADD BEADS INSIDE THE LOOP IF YOU WANTED.

YOU COULD DO IT ALL ONE COLOR OR TWO COLORS OR ALTERNATE COLORS.

IT'S ALL UP TO YOU.

MY OLDER NIECE, JENNA, HAS ALREADY REQUESTED ONE OF THESE IN BLACK AND SILVER.

ONCE YOU'VE ADDED ALL YOUR BEADS, JUST CLOSE IT UP AND YOU'VE GOT YOUR CHOKER.

WHO KNEW ZIP TIES COULD BE THIS MUCH FUN?

AAAGH!

AAAGH!

AND THEY TASTE GOOD!

TODAY WE MADE HARDWARE EASY TO WEAR; WE MADE A GORGEOUS DUCT CAP COVER DISPLAY WITH PETER; LEARNED AN AWESOME DECODEN TECHNIQUE; CAST GORGEOUS EXPENSIVE LOOKING CEMENT PLANTERS; AND LEARNED HOW TO USE GUTTER GUARD AND ZIP TIES IN JEWELRY.

I HOPE YOU HAD A BLAST BECAUSE NOW IT'S YOUR TURN TO MAKE YOUR MARK.
