'Make Stuff Sites' helping you make projects yourself

I love to make craft projects and I know there are many people who love to make or repair the things around them. I should say that "do-it-yourself" or "make stuff" comes in creative hobbies catagory. I found 2 sites with almost similar names and topic is also same, so I am reviewing both in this article.

1- Make Stuff is a site for crafter's, hobbyists, entrepreneurs and 'Do it yourself'lovers. You can make craft projects, homemade remedies, recycling crafts, and more yourself.

I liked the page "Recycling" because the projects are many and easy to make. I searched through 'Things you can do with cardboard tubes' and I was happy to find our many ideas and tips to recycle the cardboard tubes.
The list would impress you:

Things you can do with Breyer's ice cream containers.
Things you can do with old film cannisters.
Things you can do with berry baskets
Things you can do with old CD's
Things you can do with old CD jewel cases
Things you can do with old plastic pop bottles
Things you can do with old cardboard tubes
Things you can make with tin foil
How to make lamps & vases from glass bottles
Things you can do with old cardboard milk cartons
Things you can do with wire hangers
Things you can do with old egg cartons
Things you can do with old garden hoses
Things you can do with old newspaper
How to make your own recycled paper
How to preserve newspaper clippings
Things you can do with old baby food jars
Things you can make with wallpaper
Things you can do with tuna cans

So you can do a lot with the stuff which is trash.

- At "Formulas" is an interesting part of the site as you can even get 'cough and cold remedy'formula.
What you can get at this page?
Few of them are:
Homemade Soap Recipes 108 Timeless Remedies and Formulas
Make Your Own Aftershave Flexible Mold Compound / Rubber Molds
Make Your Own Astringent Fishing Bait - 10 Oil-Based Formulas
Make Your Own Bath Powder Frosting Windows(Duplicating Jack Frost)
Make Your Own Lip Balm How to Make Smoke With Dry Ice
Toothpaste,Mouthwash &

There are more pages like:

- kid stuff, cooking,

- gardening,

- holidays, and

- sewing.

There are also some articles

2- "How to make stuff":

It offers over many free projects to make among crafts, kids, recycling, science projects, cookie recipes and many do-it-yourself ideas.

"How to make stuff" is good for some ideas but I didn't like the site due to cluster of ads around the project idea, and moreover many links don't work like I wanted to know more about the site and I tried the "about" and "link to us" links, but it didn't show any result.
