Not too long ago, Anthropologie had a fabulous chained vase available. I loved the fusion of glass and metal, but not the price tag (nearly $300!) While their vase isn't available for sale anymore, you can still make your own knock off version. This post originally appeared at Crafts Unleashed, where I am a design team member. Supplies Needed: Glass Vase Alene's Jewelry and Metal Glue Flourish Clasp Set Jump Rings Large Oval Loop Chain Flat Silver Chain To make … [Read more...]

Father’s Day Photo Gift made with Shutterfly
I love photo gifts, both to give and to receive. For father's day, I always order something from Shutterfly for my husband, usually a coffee mug. This year, I did something different. I was excited to see the stainless steel mugs on the site. My husband usually eats breakfast during his commute, and by "eat breakfast" I mean he drinks his coffee.

I've been a long time fan of his Etsy shop, and while I loved the idea of his "order of the management" posters, I couldn't find one that said what I wanted to say. I feel like I spend enough of my day reminding my kids to play nice and clean up, and I wanted the playroom wall art to say something more whimsical and fun. I chose favorite quotes from books and a well known movie line to make some … [Read more...]

Make a Map Themed Wall Clock
Ciao! I'm back with another vintage looking project because, as I've said before, I have a craft crush on all things shabby and antique.
