99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall

Pack Rat Magazine thinks this is f*$@ing good ham

But, for girl drink drunks like myself who don’t really roll with the brewski, the day after a party you might find yourself saddled with a fridge full of bottles. Thankfully, Gomestic — a site dedicated to improving all things domestic — has a top ten list of all the other things beer is good for. And I can attest to their suggestion that you marinate meat in it. Delicious!

Intro to Sewing

Pack Rat Magazine finds itself irresistable drawn to you.

Hiya party people. Let’s get down to brass tacks. If you are just starting to sew, I suggest you check out this helpful tutorial from the Family Homestead, writen by Crystal out of Washington. She shares a quick and easy method for gathering fabric, one of those tasks that seem daunting to the novice (a.k.a. me). This guide will be a time, and frustration saver.

Repurpose Your Trash

Pack Rat Magazine knows the last digit of pi.

Well, well, well. You’re back again are you? Looking for a brand new way to stretch your dollar, to turn your trash to treasure? I knew you’d come back, they always come back when they see what kind of clever websites I feature here at the Pack Rat blog stop.  And you’re in luck, today is no different. So please, direct your attention to RePlayGround.  Their motto is “embrace your waste,” which I love, and the site is full of groovy ideas and tutorials.  Take a gander at their ceral box wallet, pictured below.  I also dug their paper tube fruit stand.  And, because they clearly are wearing some smarty pants, they’ve come up with the wise notion of selling kits and tip books full of even more bright ideas on how to put your garbage to work.  A great stop for some quick ideas.
