Last weeks Tip Me Tuesday linky party grew to over 100 tutorials.  Whoohoo!  I just love a linky party where I meet new creative women.  So today I’m featuring my top 10 crafts to make this week. Yep, they are my top 10 favorite crafts, parties, recipes, free files, and DIY tutorials from Tip Me Tuesday!  I hope you’re inspired to make something fabulous this week as well.

These are just the 10 tutorials that I had time to highlight right now, you’ll see many more featured on Tip Junkie, Tip Me Tuesday newsletter, AND promoted through my social media sites like Facebook, G+, Instagram, and Twitter. {yep, I love to hook a creative girl up. HA!}

2. Bedtime Reward Chart for Kids [free printable]  ~ A free printable reward chart to help encourage an easy bedtime experience by Somewhat Simple. When your child meets their goal they get a special reward.

3. Magazine Christmas Trees ~ Looking for a way to recycle all those magazines and catalogs you get in the mail? With this tutorial by Seven Clown Circus you’ll learn how to make super stylish Christmas tree decor, out of all those unwanted magazines! Perfect to display on your mantel, table or practically anywhere you want beautiful holiday decor!

18. How to Make Winter/Holiday Pillow Slipcovers ~ Simply September shows you how to sew a cozy, festive pillow slipcover. The tutorial is relatively simple so if you’re a beginner then this is the tutorial for you.

37. Instant Pot Creamy Shells and Beef ~ This creamy shells and beef recipe by Meatloaf and Melodrama is prepared and cooked in a pressure cooker (instant pot) so there’s only 1 pan to clean up. The perfect go-to meal when you don’t have a lot of time.

39. Easy White Christmas Wreath ~ If you find yourself needing just one more wreath, look no further. This gorgeous, but simple, wreath project by Twelve O Eight is just for you. All you need is a white washed grapevine wreath, bottle brush trees and ribbon.

42. Christmas Staircase Decorating on a Dime ~ For less than $10, In My Own Style shares her secret tip to decorating her staircase. Instead of using a fresh garland that dries up and makes a mess or a faux garland that you have to fluff up every time you use it she came up with the idea of using garland ties and ornaments she already had on hand. The final reveal is simply GORGEOUS!

49. Shabby Chic Christmas Gift Toppers ~ Instead of ribbons and bows, create some festive shabby chic tassels like Satori Design for Living did to dress up your Christmas Packages. It could even double as a Christmas ornament.

55. Eggnog Banana Bread ~ Moist, springy and delicious banana bread with a holiday twist, eggnog. It’s added to the batter and drizzled on top. Recipe by Table for Seven.

59. DIY Colourful Rhinestone Ornaments ~ Glitz up your tree this year with some rhinestone ornaments by White House Crafts. They’re super easy to make. All you have to do is add some colorful rhinestone stickers to plain ornaments.
