terra cotta coasters

Take any size terra cotta plant holder(found at Hobby lobby). I used a small size for coffee mugs. Spray paint the coaster with primer first. I used a white primer. Then I spray painted it in Rustoleum Heirloom White. Once dried. I added my paper.

I used a glass as my template for cutting the paper.

I modge podged the paper onto the coaster. I then placed more modge podge on top. Once dried I took a sponge with some brown disressing ink. I wiped it along the coaster inside and out to give it a distressed look.

Once the ink was on. I sprayed the coasters with a sealer. Whalla! All done. Easy Peasy!

Yarn Ball Wreath

Yarn Ball Wreath

I started with a wreath that I covered in burlap

I used multiple colors of yarn and different size foam balls. I used jute, cream color, gray, and then I took some of my smaller ornaments in a marroon sparkle color and filled in some of the holes.

My inspiration came from Pintrest. Here is the link to the blog

Christmas Wreath

Here is a christmas wreath I made with red sparkly ribbon, which I wrapped around the wreath. I then added an ornament from Hobby Lobby in the middle and added some ribbon flowers to the front. Real Simple!

multiple projects

Here is a tray I made from a plaque that I bought at Hobby Lobby. I added some handles and some candle holders to the bottom to make into a tray. I added some lanterns I bought on sale at Lowes. this is a centerpiece on my dining room table

 I saw this done on multiple sites. It was so easy to do. I just inserted the balls into the lights and voila! See next picture for the lights on.

I saw this featured on pintrest. Here is the inspiration I received it from http://www.countryliving.com/crafts/projects/diy-home-decor-crafts#fbIndex1

My neighbor has a ton of these cable spools and I grabbed one to try it out. I bought some long dowls and cut them down. I did not have to glue any of them down because they fit so snug. I spaced them apart accordingly to how I wanted it spaced out. I am more of an "eye it"  type of person than measuring. I had spray painted this Rustoleum Heirloom White and gave it a shabby look by sanding the sides. I wanted the added height for the shelf for my little boy. I had a hard time finding something besides (expensive) casters. I finally found a wooden step stool at Goodwill. I took the top off of it. I placed a lazy susan piece(found at lowes/menards) on top of the stool and then placed the cable spool on top to make it turn. I could not get the paint to turn out great on the top of the spool so I covered it with some filler and material.

Thanks for stopping by!

 Here is a board that I picked up at a rummage sale, super cheap. I spray painted it black.

Here is the end result of the board. you can hang it on a wall or even a door handle. I used some scrap paper and modge podged it on the board, then I embossed a butterfly and glued it to the board.

I used a stampin up saying on the board as well.

Live Like You Mean It

I found some frosted glass coasters at Hobby Lobby for a $1.00 and thought I could make something with these! I embossed a pink flower with a little diamond in the middle of the blower and also embossed a silver butterfly. The saying at the bottom is "live like you mean it". Thanks for looking.

Baby Picture Holder

Above is a picture frame. You can insert a picture of your precious little girl. The saying in the bottom is hard to read but it says "sing me a lullaby"
