How to survive an avalanche

By Winston Behle
January 22, 2013 12:00 AM

How to make your own wedding garter

By Melanie Jones
May 30, 2012 12:00 AM

The materials I used to make the garter below cost less than $4. Not only will you save money by making your own, but it will be so cute you will not want to give it away.
