I know, I’ve been there, and it’s tragic. But who can resist all those wonderful little do dads whether they are actually needed or not. Well here are a few tips to keep your favorite hobby from putting you in the poor house.

1. Go Back to the Basics.

Some of the best techniques, such as sewing and torn edges, are often forgotten because they are so deceptively simple. These easy embellishments can quickly add class to a page without adding cost.

 

2. Get Organized.

How many times have you cleaned out an overflowing box or bag to find buried treasure? By forcing yourself to keep organized you will save money through not having to buy things you already own.

 

3. Raid the Junk Drawer.

There is a wealth of treasure forgotten in the bottom of drawers. From ribbons to buttons, tape to stickers, you never know what you could find until you look.

4. Use your Environment.

Straight lines and stencils are everywhere! The bottom of a glass is a perfect circle.

5. Homemade Treasure.

Your child’s masterpiece can brighten your day anytime. Incorporate it into your work and enjoy it forever.

Now if there is a place to splurge I would say go for tools. Buying quality tools the first time may be a bit of an investment but will save you money in the long run. You will waste less of your supplies from tool malfunction and won’t have to replace them as often.

These tips can not only save you money, but often time as well. The most important tip however, is to be creative. Find new ways to do simple things and save your money for those treasures you simply have to have.
