Thriftdeluxe Inexpensive yet stylish DIY projects are the name of the game at this hands-on British site. No special tools and only minimal skills are needed to make these clever projects. Even if you're no craftier than the average Joe, you can whip up a milk carton gift box or earrings made of guitar picks and safety pins. And the cost of each project? Mere pocket change. Decorate your flat with a grate lamp and a pop-art vase. Stencil your clothes with your own art (but beware of motion sickness if you paint a phrase on your belt). Think outside the frame and put your pictures on a can of baked beans. These well-illustrated how-tos show that thrifty doesn't have to mean cheap, and deluxe doesn't have to break the bank.
