Handmade Projects

Do It Yourself projects, or DIYs, have been really common and popular on Pinterest, I believe, ever since the site was first made. But why is that, you may ask? Well it's simple.
The first reason for them being popular is because they are usually cheaper to make then to go on Etsy and buy. Although the ones sold there always seem to be so much cuter and better done then my own. Like these for example:
https://www.etsy.com/listing/194880908/no-tangle-crochet-earphones?ref=sr_gallery_30&ga_search_query=cute+earphones&ga_order=most_relevant&ga_ref=related&ga_page=1&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery
The second reason is that they are fun to make, whether it be by yourself or with some friends. Like when you were little and made those huge beaded bracelets. Except now, you make them with much smaller beads that are practically impossible to put on the band and end up falling on the floor and getting lost for all eternity because you know even without looking that you will never find them all.
Thirdly is that they can be as big or as small of a project as you want. If you are looking for something huge that will keep you occupied for a month or so you can find some sort of workshop one. Or if you just want a small five minute one, they have those too. I've seen ones where all you do is get a stencil and spray paint some designs onto old furniture.
DIYs also make it fun to spice up your old stuff. Having a hard time trying to rock those boring old headphones but don't want to go buy those cool expensive ones that you know will break within the month? No need! Change it up with some yarn.

Its an easy way to show off those mad skillz you didn't even know you were hiding.

And my favorite part (and probably the part that I use most often) is that if you try, try, and try again and you still just have absolutely no idea how to make it look like it's supposed to, it's no biggie if you give up. Those earphones are still hella cute even though they are halfway done. So when reality hits you hard in the face and your expectations aren't met, just take a pic so you can laugh at it later, eat those delicious looking cookies, and move on.

The Sprouse Brothers

The Sprouse bros are pretty amazing people. Why do I say that? What have they done in their life that causes me to give them that well deserved title? Sit back and relax my friends, because I'm about to blow your socks off.
One of the biggest, if not the sole reason, as to why the Sprouse brothers are known, is because of their childhood acting careers on the Sweet Life of Zack and Cody. Which is a well known kids show about two twins that run around wrecking havoc in the hotel that they live in. Frustrating the manager and everyone else there. Then when the get older they go on a cruise ship with all of their friends from the hotel and call that show the Sweet Life On Deck. That show also consists of them running around causing mayhem. Those shows were a large part of mine, and presumably many other children's childhoods, seeing as how we've been growing up right along side them. It was sad to see them go from Disney.
However, that isn't the only reason as to why they are pretty amazing. Nope, that's right, the story doesn't end there. They are also pretty popular on twitter, especially after the nudes leak of Dylan Sprouse, with his response being "At least you can't see my third testicle." They tweet fans back, with witty and funny responses, and when they get stopped by fans in public they are also reported as being hilarious and friendly. Which is awesome because some stars aren't always receptive towards their fans.
And surprisingly enough, they even had acting careers before playing Zack and Cody. That's right people, even as baby's they were stars, being in diaper commercials and even acting as Ben Geller in Friends. How cool is that?
Where are they now? Unlike a lot of well known actors, they have enrolled in college at New York University (Not saying it's a bad thing to not go to college by any means, trust me I have no right to judge). Dylan is focusing on Video Game design, and Cole is studying humanities and archaeology.
So whilst they aren't quite the most talked about in the movie star news lately seeing as how they are busy learning and studying away to get their degrees, they are still two amazing actors and people that are pretty all around cool people.
