Make a Dish Carrier out of Placemats
Summer often brings picnics, barbecues, and pot lucks. To get your dish there in style, here's a pretty project to make that you can use to carry your dish with you. It would also be a fun way to "wrap" a hostess gift. For more dish carrier tutorials, see THIS post. I bought these placemats at Dollar Tree thinking that I would embroider them. About 30 minutes into that project, I remembered that I don't have the patience to embroider, so I quickly scrapped that project. (Who knows, … [Read more...]
Coastal Centerpiece made from Fish Bowl
Even though I don't live near the ocean, I'm an island girl at heart. I absolutely love the ocean, hearing the waves, and spending days on the beach. Since the beach is several hours away (and, let's be honest, Texas beaches are not the best in the world!) I have to settle for bringing a bit of the beach home. Coastal themed decor is a great way to incorporate beach items into your decorating, and summertime is the perfect time for maritime themed items. Here's how you can take an old fish … [Read more...]
Hangin’ With My Gnomies
Gnomes. Do you love them or hate them? I loooooove them! They are so stinkin' cute! This is the first of a few gnome projects I've completed lately: a "hangin' with my gnomies" wall hook! Get it? Hangin'...and it's a hook that you hang stuff on? Just humor me. I got to use some adorable papers from my sponsor, Simple Stories, for this craft. I combined their cute papers and stickers with my Xyron and a dollar store over-the-door hook to make a fun piece of home decor. Here's how … [Read more...]
Faux Pewter Box Made from Chick-Fil-A Salad Container
One of my favorite "go to" techniques is to create faux metal finishes. I'm always amazed how a few simple steps can result in such a stunning finish. When I was challenged to repurpose a Chick-Fil-Salad container I reached for my stash of dollar store birds and spray paint so I could create a pretty faux pewter box. This cute container would make a lovely gift box or a great storage piece for a vanity or desk. My first faux pewter project involved glass items. You can see that … [Read more...]
DIY Faux Sea Glass Bottles
Sea glass is very popular, and I think it's a beautiful way to decorate your home for the summer. Instead of buying new decorative accents, you can make your own using a few simple items plus recyclables. Don't worry if you don't feel like you're very artistic! Stencils make it easy for all of us to create beautiful, professional looking home decor projects. I used a clear glass bottle from my recycling bin plus a few DecoArt products to create this beautiful faux sea glass bottle. This … [Read more...]
Make Anthropologie Inspired Globe Art
In my opinion, Anthropologie has the coolest stuff but not the most affordable prices. I think part of what I love about their items is that they look hand crafted and unique, not factory made. It's this characteristic that makes it so tempting to try to knock off Anthro items. I loved the look and the idea behind this globe at Anthro, so I made my own version. … [Read more...]

This project is addicting! Once you get the hang of it you won't want to stop making these gorgeous wire wrapped bead rings.

I used $1 bead bags and wire that I found in the craft section of Walmart, which makes this project really affordable for large groups. Supplies: Beads … [Read more...]
Make a Lamp with Vellum Flowers
I love to use my die cuts to create home decor. While most people use their dies for paper crafting, I rarely use my dies on paper. I'm usually cutting fabric, chipboard, metal sheets, and anything else I can fit in my Sizzix! I've even used clay in my Big Shot! For this project I combined gorgeous Thinlit's flower dies with vellum to create a gorgeous, glowing centerpiece. You have to make this to see for yourself how pretty it is! Supplies used to make light up vellum flowers: … [Read more...]
How to Make Flocked Easter Bunnies
Last year I bought a lot of Martha Stewart Flocking Powder on clearance, and now I'm hooked. I'm also prone to making awful puns like "get the flock out of here!" when working with the powder. Excuse my dorkishness, Anyways, flocking powder such a fun product to craft with (and make puns about)! I started out using it on cards, but I really like the look achieved when added to craft basics: it looks like a cuddly, plush toy! They don't look like paper anymore, do they?
