Make Designer Accessories for Less
Fingerless gloves are all the rage in top designer collections. Inspired by Alexander McQueen, Erica Domesek, founder of "P.S. - I made this…," and Debbie Matenopoulos make these fashion-forward gloves for a fraction of the cost. Just snip the fingertips off and embellish the top with bling, such as a brooch. Next, Erica crafts DIY faux fur earmuffs to keep our ears warm and toasty this winter.
Laura Nativo
In recognition of National Train Your Dog Month, Laura Nativo educates pet owners on how positive reinforcement is an effective method of obedience training. Good training techniques help to prevent families from surrendering dogs due to behavioral problems. By rewarding good behavior with a clicker and a treat, your pooch can learn to listen to commands such as sit, down, paw, and more. Over time, the clicker and treats can be phased out.

Viewer Ann Howard wrote in to request he show us all how he carved out the pages of a book to create a storage box. Ken explains why dictionaries work great, but maintains how to find a proper sized book relevent to what you'll be placing inside it.
