Spring Mantle
Over the last week I have shared a couple projects that I had made for my spring mantle. I was totally slacking and still at the end of February had my Valentines Day Paint Chip Banner hanging on the mantle (embarrassing!), so I knew it was time to get into gear. Last weekend was full of craft store trips, an Ikea trip, crafting, and putting together the spring mantle. This post is mostly picture heavy, because I don't have much to say about it, other than I love it's simplicity and colorfulness. I shared this with you last week, and it hangs from the mantle I ...
Valentine Paint Chip Banner
A few weeks ago I posted 14 Fun Ideas for Valentines Day, and I was really inspired to put together some Valentine's decor for my house. I think Valentines Day is one of those holidays that sometimes falls by the wayside, but these days I will use any excuse to do a cute new craft! With only 20 days until Valentine's Day, I loved the idea of making a banner for my fire place, and had a few left over paint chips from when we moved in. I had already done one craft using paint chips (DIY Paint Chip Moving Cards), and I thought using them for this banner would be so cute. This was so quick and ...
DIY Snow Globes
To keep in the spirit of the quickly approaching holiday season, I decided to make some DIY Snow Globes. First spotted at Anthropologie (for a ridiculously overpriced amount), these snow globes have picked up major popularity across the DIY world. It is no wonder why; they are cheap, easy, and made from the super popular Mason jar. Most likely you have a couple of these jars at home already, so you can just use those. I found these little notion pine trees at the Dollar Store, in packs of 2! They were in the holiday section, next to the little ceramic ...
A Christmas Mantle Collection
Over the weekend, we went as a family to find and cut down our first family Christmas tree (we had a fake one last year)! It is so exciting, and although the tree is still in the garage (hopefully we can put it up tonight after my husband gets home from work), I am already thinking how we should decorate it. Another task that has been heavy on my mind, is our mantle. I am stoked that we have a real fireplace and mantle now, and I have been brainstorming how I should decorate it. Of course, whenever such a decision needs to be made, I turn to pinterest. I have a ...
DIY Scrabble Ornaments
Last year was the first year we had a real family Christmas tree, and I really wanted to make some special ornaments for our tree. I had seen a couple ideas here and there, but when I found the idea for scrabble ornaments I knew it was perfect. My husband, Andres, really loves vocabulary and scrabble, so I thought he would like them more than anyone. These were super simple to make, too. All you need is left over scrabble pieces (don't have any at home? Check for scrabble tiles on amazon here), hot glue, and some string/twine/yarn (your choice). I went ...
