Today I chat with celebrity designer Mark Montano of TLC’s “While You Were Out” and STYLE Network’s “My Celebrity Home” about how to make some easy fashion and décor pieces at a fraction of what you’d pay in a store. s.

Three Things You’ll Learn From our Interview with Mark
- Mark’s Book,The Big ### Book of Crafts, really is a big ### book of crafts. Like hundreds of them. Read it and you’ll be overcome with the urge to jump in your car and head to your nearest Michael’s (make sure to bring a coupon).
- It’s amazing what you can do with a bottle of glitter, some tree leaves, and elmer’s glue. Listen to the interview to learn more.
- Having a craft night with friends and family is an excellent (and cheap… really cheap) way to get together. Rather than take your kids to a movie- which can run you up to $40 (when all they really want is to watch Wall-E for the 15th time), stay at home and make something together.  Then watch Wall-E cause it really is a good movie.
