Nothing wrong with water, especially a glass with lots of ice cubes!
Why not add some oomph to the ice cubes? 
You'll have lovely-looking ice cubes, I promise.
These frosty cubes will subtly flavor your water as it melts. 
This week, it was all about empty tape rings and dispensers. We mustn't leave out that thick round of sealing tape, don't you agree? 
It's still useful even after you've used up all the tape!
I fashioned the bag using some thick cardboard.
Wrap the empty tape ring with your choice of fabric. 
Do the same for the entire bag.
Tada! Instant evening purse!
You can even slip the handle around your wrist 
Leave the bag plain (if using a shiny or printed fabric) 
We're recycling tape-related things this week, from dispensers to those plastic rings left after all the tape has been used up. Today, let's throw in packing tape to the mix. I think the cardboard ring is a fun thing to jazz up!
Doesn't this cry out B-A-N-G-L-E?
Cover the board with a piece of fabric and secure with hot glue.
Overlap the ends for a snug fit on the wrist
Tada! A special bangle that's not available at any store!
This week's blah: plastic tape dispensers.
When the tape's all finished, don't throw away the plastic rings!
Wind a ribbon around the ring to instantly change the look!
Tada! You've got a necklace that makes quite a statement!
This will definitely add some Tada! to a simple outfit. 
Glue the rings together to form a four-leaf clover or
Yesterday, we re-used empty tape dispensers to hold different kinds of tape. 
Today, I'll show you how we can turn these empty tape rings
Wrap a piece of ribbon (you'll need about 1 yard) around the ring
Tada! The plain ring is now a pretty pendant just by
Finish off with a favorite charm like this tiny Eiffel Tower...
...And you'll have a necklace that's totally unique! 
Sticky tape on their plastic dispensers.
When I've finished off the tape (usually during the holiday season after wrapping so many presents), this is all that's left.
Once a blah, now a Tada!: I removed the empty rings and replaced them with different kinds of tape that I regularly use, such as masking tape, floral tape and double-sided tape. I would also use these for electrical tape and tape with pretty prints (a whimsical way to seal a package). This makes cutting tape so much easier and doesn't leave any sticky stuff on a pair of scissors! 
As I've shown you this week on blah to Tada!, it's a good idea to save the cardboard carriers that hold those beer bottles and re-purpose them by the dressing them up with wrapping paper. Just by doing that, we turned a plain carrier into a picnic caddy, an art station, a knitting project carrier and a party centerpiece! Here's another one to add to the list: 
Tada! A gift basket for a dear friend who's not feeling well. 
Put in some healthy snacking options like fruits, bottles of orange juice, vitamins, tissues and hand sanitizer. Add a cheerful message and if you can hand-deliver it yourself, your friend will be on the road to recovery in no time! 
But when the beer bottles are down to zero,
Turn a blah box into a Tada! centerpiece!
Cover the box with festive paper and fill it with 
Here's wishing you a sweet celebration! 
While the beer is strictly for the adults, we can still save the box for the kids. 
Simply dress it up with festive paper and fill the spaces with markers, colored pencils and crayons. Make sure to have lots of paper ready to keep those little hands busy. Great for rainy afternoons, play dates and parties where children are also on the guest list!
You'll find something like it in the supermarket nestled with soda, beer and even ready-to-drink coffee. It's easy to recycle because it's sturdy and has several compartments that's useful for organization projects.
I'm taking a little blogging break for the next few weeks. 
Here's the blah: a collection of mismatched cloth table napkins. 
Here's the Tada!: Napkins in prints that spell S-U-M-M-E-R. Now is the season to take them out, match them up with colorful melamine plates and reusable utensils to create picnic kits!
Simply put the plate in the center of the napkin.
Wrap the napkin around the plate and knot the edges.
Add the utensils and make another knot to secure them in place.
Make enough settings for all the guests at the picnic.
Just add your favorite picnic food & drink and you're ready to go!
