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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Upcycling an old plate for St. Patrick’s Day.
I love to decorate for the “big” holidays (Christmas, Halloween, Easter…) But I am often hard-pressed to come up with the energy to decorate for the “smaller” holidays. St. Patrick’s Day is one of those holidays. That said, I love that Mod Podge and a little paint can make it so easy for me […]
Make weathered, shabby chic flower pots using spray paint & candle wax.
I’m on a faux-finishing kick at the moment. Last week I showed you how to make a faux rust effect using spray paint and salt. Today I wanted to show you how to create the look of those chippy, weathered, shabby chic flower pots and other garden items. Have you priced them? Crazy! I […]
Create a faux-rust effect using spray paint and salt.
Yep. Spray paint and salt can give you an instant weathered iron effect. You can create a faux rust effect using these ingredients. As I am still sick, today I thought I’d share how to create a chipped, rusted paint effect. (When I am feeling better I will show you on an actual project, but […]
DIY Christmas artwork in under an hour.
I love subway art and typography. Lately I’ve become a regular Art Institute of Five Minute Projects and our scrap woodpile has become my supply source. I had been wanting to make some nativity themed artwork and put some focus on the real reason we celebrate Christmas. I saw a great piece of artwork from Red Letter Words […]
Christmas gift wrapping caddy – a Christmas mess compromise.
I shared this last month at Positively Splendid as part of the Swell Noel series. Christmas is my favorite holiday and I love that it seems to be a celebration of every single day in December. I am never finished baking, wrapping presents or decorating the house… and I like it like that! I love a cheerful holiday mess. My […]
