By ELISHA NARTA

EHOW.com is so yester-day. instructables.com isthe latest how to websiteon the block.

This is a place wherepeople ‘‘share what theydo, how they do it andlearn from others’’.

There are some interest-ing DIYs posted on the webpage, such as, how to cre-ate a slinky dog costume,make a James Bond spycar, build a bicycle rampand how to create a ducttape laptop skin.

There are many thou-sands of DIY projects un-der different categorieslike fashion, jewellery, re-lationships, cars, food,healthy living, technologyand workshops.

There are great links tomany hints, tips and tricksfor things that may help.

Visitors and membersare able to comment onany DIYs they have triedout or add other suggest-ions that may be useful forthat particular project.

Many of the quirky pro-jects are a little far-fetched.

An example is the DIYduct tape hammock. Whoseriously needs to knowhow to make a duct tapehammock?

Nevertheless, this is agreat website for anyonewho is after interestingideas, for themed partiesor for a practical joke.
