Thrifty Tips (January 03, 2019)
As we are starting the New Year, we have some contest changes to announce. Due to low entries, we have discontinued the Craft Tip and Organizing contests. Entries for these subjects can still be posted to the general Thrifty Tips contest or as one of our step by step Craft or DIY projects. These entries will be much appreciated by the readers of our Craft Projects and Organizing Newsletters. Also, our Gardening Tip and Garden and Nature photo contest have been postponed until spring, as we get historically low entries at the beginning of the year. We hope to reintroduce some of these specific contests in the future and add in bonuses for requested content. As always, ThriftyFun depends on each and every one of you to add your valuable advice to the site. With support, we should continue answering questions and providing Thrifty Tips for many more years.

Thanks for reading,
Jess

Dragon Scale Pillow

By attosa

Dragon Scale Pillow - colorful pillow on black and white bed setThis is a fun project using coloured felt to cover a pillow. I used a coverless white accent pillow that I'd had for a decade that had started looking dull. You don't need any sewing skills, you just cut circles and hot glue them on. I love this pop of colour on my black and white bed set.

By Toni

Photo Tiles without brushstrokes.When using Mod Podge to seal your photo tiles and you want to avoid brushstrokes, take a piece of sponge and stipple it on top. You could also use a clear spray lacquer instead.

Cleaning Mildew off Deck Railings

By littergitter

clean railingOur deck is on the north side of the house and the railings get a buildup of moss and mildew during the warm humid months. To keep them white, I have to clean them about twice a year, once during late summer and then again after it turns cold.
