I’m always changing up my art and color palette. After Valentine’s Day when things are all red and pink around the house and then St. Patrick’s Day when everything is green, I’m ready for some blues. This word “Art” is easy to make using scrap pieces of thin wood, a variety of paint colors, and […]
These fun little pom pom Easter eggs are especially fun to make since the final tool used is the same one I use to keep my sweaters in tip-top shape! (Yeah, there’s one of my extra special puns 🙂 ) OK, but seriously: if you are as much of a pom pom fanatic as I […]
Here’s a great recycled craft to kick off spring with whimsy—How to Make Pinwheels with Junk Mail. Junk mail, as its name implies, tends to go right into the “circle file” as soon as it arrives in my house. Since I put it in a “paper only” can, I can easily pull it out when […]
I have had this green Ball jar in my stash for quite some time but didn’t have an idea for what to make with it. Well, being that it’s time to decorate for St. Patrick’s Day, I thought I’d combine it with two of my favorite things—plants from my yard and battery-powered tea lights to […]
In addition to making jewelry for me to wear, I am now constantly making jewelry (AKA charms) for my planner to wear. And each month’s holidays are my inspiration. March means everything green and St. Patrick’s day. When I think of St. Patrick’s Day, I think of luck, and what’s more lucky than a penny? […]
I love making quick and easy decorations for the holidays, and Valentine’s Day is no exception. This cute Rustic Valentine’s Day DIY Garland is a quick and easy craft project that will add some homey romance to your home for this holiday. I recently got a set of Ranger Mica Sprays in pearlescent white, gold […]
I am always trying new materials to die cut. Today, I tried die cutting leaves from my camellia tree for a leafy tree centerpiece. I used them to spell out the message “GROW.” I clipped them onto a branch with tiny clothespins. The last element is a favorite wine bottle that has a label featuring […]
Sweet dreams for the happy couple with this super cute stenciled doe and buck pillow case set. I love to decorate with the deer theme whenever I can. I even simply use antlers most of the time. Included in the FolkArt Woodland set of stencils there is a charming set of doe and buck stencils […]
I am always on the lookout for ways to use my stash of washi tape along with making modern art with recycled elements. That is just what I came up with by filling in all the squares on a Scrabble board with washi tape. The process is also a fun kind of zen process like […]
Recycled leather is so fun to work with. It has a classy look and is durable, which makes it an ideal material for jewelry making. It’s easy to create a modern open work and decorative edged cuff out of recycled leather along with a darling heart necklace with a bit of zipper with just a […]
