Ads for Tumblr

supreme-styless asked: how do you get so many followers? can you promo me? please?

I have quite a few followers by having good content, having that content be really fresh (usually posting DIYs that come out on the day I post them), having a really organized blog, DIYs being featured several times on Tumblr Radar, having my blog being spotlighted on one of Tumblr’s spotlight pages, being featured on DIY and sometimes CRAFTS - especially when there used to be a top 10 list, and blogging original content (ie not just reblogging) for well over a year. For most of that time I had no followers. I put a ton of work into my blog for myself and not to get followers and I think that’s pretty obvious. I only reblog posts I think add something new to my blog. EDIT: I must also give credit to dizzymaiden. I love her blog and the content she chooses and I wanted my blog to be as good as her blog.

littlecraziness: (via The Perfect Pear: Create Your Own Mould Out of Polymer Clay) Truebluemeandyou: I’ve written about this before - making molds out of polymer clay. Super easy and cheap. Also, people ask me what DIY sites I visit on Tumblr and litttlecraziness and dizzymaiden are just two of many that I check on every day - because of their content and they always publish the original source.

What to do with a parts of a piano - keys, lid and back panel? Any reader suggestions?

foreverday asked you: 
We had a beautiful old piano that was permanently out of tune and my dad turned the frame into a desk (the one I’m writing on at the minute). All the middle bits (keys/lid/back panel) were taken out and have been just left in a pile together gathering dust. Do you have any suggestions for what you could do with it (it’s gorgeous cherry wood and it seems a waste to leave it)?
ANSWERS:
  • dizzymaiden answered keetsa.com/blog/eco-friendly/jewellery-made-from-recycled-pianos (DIY Inspiration, but very cool -True Blue)
  • thelittleyellowbirdthatcould answered: make it into art!
  • idrowninmyowntears answered: Im big into art, i know it seems dorky but don’t waste it. I would take the parts of the piano and turn it into something, art. i would do it (a collage of the keys with old sheet music - could get it off the web or at deviantart.com and dip it in tea - True Blue)
  • meghanjack answered: Maybe turn the back panel (which I’m assuming is the biggest piece?) into a head board for a bed, and turn the lid into a shelf.
  • ifyoubelievehope answered: use mod podge with photos on the wood? like a photo frame..? (very cool ideas - the keys could be the frame - True Blue)
  • bipolar-smile said: Are they ivory keys? Antique ivory keys can be sold to people who carve ivory and piano wire could make amazing jewelry
  • nadiasmith answered: you could make a wind chime out of the keys
  • insertcompanytitlehere answered: I would drill holes in the keys to put a cord thorugha and make a necklace, or nail them to a wall and make hooks to hang things on!

What to do with a big lace tablecloth? Any good ideas?

haveibeenafool asked you: 
Hi! I have this big beautiful piece of lace table cloth that is a great mint green, it has a huge hole in the center of it and is oval shaped. Any ideas how I could use it in a fashion DIY? I’d hate to get rid of it. Thank you!
I have some tutorials that use lace here: from clothing restyles to jewelry etc…: truebluemeandyou.tumblr.com/tagged/lace

beautiful-wretched-life asked: hey i absolutely love your blog and i was wondering if you knew of any other tumblrs like yourself?

On Tumblr: Dizzymaiden (food, crafts, just interesting things that are beautiful and thought provoking), littlecraziness (lots of crafts, inspiration and interesting things - also look at her archive),  holly-go-brightly (lots of really good DIY links to tutorials - check out her archive),  ohlordylord, rockspapermetal (jewelry inspo). I’m leaving out a lot of blogs as usual, but these are off the top of my head.

I posted this list here a while back and should update it because I’ve found some really good fashion/restyle blogs that I adore.
