Cindy Piccoli offers these tips when working on projects:
  • For a quick stain job, use shoe polish. The tubes with applicator sponges are easy to use.
  • Create a straight line using a rubber band like a chalk line tool. Put the rubber band in place, and then coat it with chalk. Snap the band to create a line on the project (figure A).
  • Apple crates and egg cartons are handy for storing small craft items (beads, gems , pins, screws, nails, etc.) and keeping them separated.
