I love this country. I love quick art projects. I love spray paint. I dropped the ball as far as getting my patriotic decor up last month, so I am hustling to get some up in a day. This “Old Glory” flag sign was created in less than an hour using scrap wood and some […]
Upcycled: Patriotic Jars
I shared this simple craft on Mom It Forward earlier this week. So quick and easy to create! (And fairly disposable too!) Add some patriotic flair to your decor by upcycling a few glass jars with some red, white and blue. Everyone has glass jars around the house. Create some patriotic vases, or how about just […]
Seaside decor made from Salt Dough
As we head into a new summer, I thought I’d do a quick recap of some of the projects I made last summer. Specifically, those I made from a basic salt dough. I made dough starfish…. Click HERE for the tutorial …and a wacky, free-form piece of “coral”…. See how I made this HERE … […]
Hydrangeas: easy floral decor in just minutes.
I love hydrangeas. They are easy to grow, easy to group together in one big arrangement, and they are easy to preserve. I cut several stems and popped them into a champagne bucket. So easy! It is impossible to screw up an arrangement of hydrangeas. These were all from my yard. Clip, strip the leaves, […]
Upcycling boring lampshades with fabric, spray paint and a glue gun.
Last month I was given some beautiful fabric to play with and I did a guest post at Mom It Forward, sharing how to recover some basic, boring lampshades using new fabric, a glue gun and a little bit of spray paint. In case you missed it, I am sharing it here today. I love […]
Upcycle an old bottle to make a dish soap dispenser.
I know, I know, this has been done before. But I finally did it and made one: A more decorative dispenser for our dish soap. This post contains affiliate links. Yes, we have a dishwasher, but there are still several items that need to be hand-washed and I didn’t like the plastic bottle sitting by the […]
A DIY, personalized wedding or anniversary gift for less than $20
This might be a little silly (or a bit TMI) for some folks, but I think it’s cute. Today I’m going to show you how to make an easy piece of “couples” artwork for less than $20 and in under an hour (not counting drying time.) I think this “Spooning” artwork would be very cute […]
A hanging centerpiece using photos and branches.
Just the other day I wrote about how I needed to come up with a centerpiece for our annual Mother’s Day Brunch. I didn’t have a lot of time, and I never want to spend a lot of money, so here’s what I came up with… This book page chandelier and the photos of this […]
DIY Ombre subway art for Mother’s Day.
Mother’s Day is just around the corner, so when Plaid Crafts sent me a whole box of Martha Stewart Craft Supplies and asked me to create a Mother’s Day project, I jumped at the chance. I decided to make some Mom-inspired, typographic subway art. (This post contains affiliate links) Supplies needed: a 1/4″ plywood board. […]
Silly shutters… more robin’s egg blue.
I haven’t felt too spring-y, but I’m slowly adding a bit of color around here. I have frequently complained about how much I dislike my asymmetrical mantel, and I’m not really ready to tackle it, but I did want to at least do something. I sprayed these smaller with Valspar’s Aqua and leaned them up […]
