Can do- Furniture ideas. Which to do?

I have about 3 places I have need of furniture. I have several simple ideas on Pinterest I could do to work in these spots. It is hard to decide which to do. I hate to actually undertake a project and waste time or materials. Even though the schemes here appear so simple and inexpensive, I believe I could work them, My brain will not do too time consuming plans or intricate instructions.  I need a kitchen piece of small size, and end table and a bathroom piece. Some ideas:




I saw these windows the other day at a thrift shop. Also Habitat thrift stores have all this stuff for cheap. I just have never put together anything like this ever before. So beautiful.


Many made of cardboard ideas. Very cheap, but will it hold up to my families bumpiness.


I have the doors and could easily acquire the legs, but probably longer than I have space for, but love it. I always hate the loose doors lying around. I could at least put this outside. I have an exceptional park like yard, but no good porch or patio area though.

Rolled paper. I save a lot of paper, but may not have enough. Also will it be stable for nightstand with hubby?

Beautiful cards.

Adorable. Looks pretty easy. Buttons for birds.
I found a nice board with a lot of cards to make.these are simply beautiful. Some are easy and some are more advanced. They are pinned on this board http://pinterest.com/luvtapin/makes-me-want-to-share/:

Here are examples I pinned on the board:

Of course these could be changed up to any occasion they might fit.


Looks easy and uses scraps.
simple
This card was added to my board.
I traded-the one above  this one since cupcake liners seem so much easier then the origami. For some sad reason-and I actually tried this simple dress- I cannot do that craft. Tears.
  For direction for any cards on here or to see my Pinterest gift share ideas with more cards and stuff to give hit link on this page. The ideas for these go back to different sites given there. to their credit.

Great ideas found here :Under the Table and Dreaming for leftover plastic bottles. I am planning on doing the bracelet ones. It may be awhile, but hopefully have pictures if they turn out descent on here. I also love the gift ideas dome and may do that- perhaps today for my son's birthday.I am making mini grasshopper pies and this would be cute.

On the 4th we did this one:

Bubble snakes

This also featured on the link above. The items need to do this are:


Sock with no mate, scissors, bubble -or make your own- rubber band, empty plastic thin bottle and if you want coloring: food colors of choice.
    1. Cut sock to slip on sleeve.
    2. Cut off bottom of bottle (parent's job?)
    3. Fit sleeve from sock on bottle covering end with it to make bubbles come out of it.
    4. In small shallow bowls: (not shown ) put layer of bubbles and mix in coloring to your tastes. 
    5. Wrap rubber band on sock to hold it on bottle on shaft of it. 
    6.  Outside and dip bottom in bubble mixture. blow and have fun.
