According to Allure, "The trend toward using natural ingredients was pioneered by perfumer and author Mandy Aftel." Well, guess what? Last week I had the pleasure of meeting with the famed perfumer in her Berkeley, CA studio. We covered everything from beautifully stanky scents to trends in the industry to advice on selecting fragrances. And when I asked her if she had any do-it-yourself ideas for holiday gifting, she definitely delivered. In her book, Scents & Sensibilities: Creating Solid Perfumes for Well-Being (approximately $5), Aftel provides a "recipe" for creating your own solid perfume. While the talented perfume maker sells her Single Solids, Double Solids, and the ultra-luxe One-of-a-Kind Antique Cases on her website, you can create these thoughtful and easy gifts for your friends and loved ones on your own. Learn how to make these sweet smelling compacts when you read more. How-To Make 'Em * In a beaker or small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon of jojoba oil with 20 drops of... See less

Every year, no matter how vigilant I am about dry cleaning and storage, winter rolls around and I discover that I've lost a few more of my favorite sweaters to the insects. I go to put on a beloved soft blue sweater, only to discover that there's a big section near my right shoulder, or by my cuff, or along the bottom edge, that has more holes than a hunk of Swiss cheese. In the past, I'd sigh and toss the sweater into my Goodwill pile. That is, until I realized I could recycle these babies and use them for exciting(!) new(!) purposes. One of the easiest ways to put those old sweaters to good use is by turning them into snuggly throw pillow covers. Here's how I whipped up a new cover for a throw pillow using a couple of my insect-hole sweater casualties. You'll need 100% wool sweaters for this -- no blends. The number of sweaters you'll use will, of course, depend upon how big your sweater is, whether there are huge hole-y sections that can't be used, whether the sweater's a v-neck or... See less

These totes are made from old sweaters that are felted in the washing machine. You can create the handles by cutting the sweater strategically after you felt it or you can take the felted bag to a shoemaker or tailor and ask him or her to attach leather handles for you. Once you start making these bags, I warn you that you may become obsessed with finding "new" sweaters to work with at thrift stores, even in the drawers of family and friends. Finished totes shown are approx 42 cm (16-1/2 in) wide and 30.5 to 52.5 cm (12 to 20 in) tall. You need: Pure wool, large-size, adult sweater (not recommended on care label for machine washing) Matching thread Dressmaker's chalk pencil, set square and ruler (Click here for tote diagrams.) To make: 1. Fill washing machine with hot water to the lowest level possible, then add 1 to 2 tbsp (15 to 25 mL) dishwashing liquid. Immerse sweater and set machine to agitate. Check results every few minutes – you want to shrink or “felt” knitting into smooth,... See less

* In a beaker or small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon of jojoba oil with 20 drops of essential oil. Example: 7 drops of ylang ylang and 13 drops of grapefruit (see more of Aftel's combos below). She recommends Whole Foods or your local health food store as a go-to place for inexpensive oils. * Melt 1/2 teaspoon of grated beeswax over heat (she used a hot plate). * Mix oils and wax together, then pour into a small container. Aftel recommends using antique cases, small tins, or lip balm jars — basically anything that closes with a latch, is not too deep, and is rounded in shape for easier finger scoopage. Your solid will set in about 10 minutes. See less

To make a sweater bag you will need: * An old sweater * A cloth belt or a length of ribbon (to serve as handles) * Fabric for lining the inside of the bag (optional) * Thread * Scissors * Sewing machine (optional) Note: If you've chosen to work with a wool sweater, it's recommended that you felt it before continuing. This will add strength and beauty to the fabric. Felting Instuctions: Wash your sweater on the hottest washer setting and dry it on high heat. This should cause the fabric to take on a soft, fused texture. If you can still see the weave in the fabric, it's not fully felted. Repeat the process until you get the desired results. See less

The open tote is an enduring style, both easy to make and well suited to a wide variety of uses. This is the "free tote bag" that all manner of merchandisers offer as a premium to induce you to buy their wares; the "boat bag" that sporting goods companies have been selling for years; the upscale "museum bag" that our finest cultural institutions offer through gift shops and catalogs, many of them with a hefty price tag attached; and the "ecological grocery bag" that will help save our planet from the evils of paper and plastic sacks. Your fabric choice--which may range from plain, unbleached canvas to upholstery fabrics, leathers, tapestries, and even wools--will determine whether you'll end up with a designer original or a utilitarian carryall. The following instructions are for making a plain, slightly oversize "green" grocery bag, but it's easy to change the size and look to suit your every need. See less
