another diy christmas tree...

This is such an easy art project

with a really big visual impact!

 We used VERY inexpensive ornaments

and made sure they were shatterproof.

We had pegboard left over from

another project and decided to keep it

unpainted. However, the color 

possibilities are endless!

The ornaments fit perfectly into the 

holes. You could hot glue them if

you don't want your kids constantly 

rearranging it.

So easy!

Happy crafting!

diy christmas tree...

Oh my goodness, how much

fun is this Christmas Tree?

We purchased some outdoor carpeting

from the giant carpet rolls at Home Depot.  

It was only $3.95, and you could

make so many!

We grabbed a straight edge and a Sharpie.

Next, we drew our tree on the back.

Then we cut it out.

We used a scrap of trim for the trunk.

You could leave it plain....

or add a string of battery

powered lights.

The carpet will hold up in the elements

and the texture is perfect for a tree!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

fun clock update...

Here's a quick clock revamp.

 Take one unsuspecting clock

(this one is a $6 beauty from Target).

 Turn it over and remove the screws.

 You can now completely 

disassemble it.

 You can use any small plastic toys.

We chose these adorable sea animals.

 Start arranging and 

be sure each one will clear all 3 

of the clock hands.

Get your hot glue gun fired up!

It turned out pretty cute.

Have a great weekend friends!

plastic pumpkin repurpose...

These covered plastic pumpkins would

be perfect for gift giving or storage.

Don't you always seem to end up with multiple 

pumpkins every Halloween?

We thought it would be fun to repurpose them.

We used some fabric scraps and 

hot glued them on.

So easy!

Perfectly precious for your 

 own little pumpkins!

light it up...

These giant luminaries are so easy

to make and can be customized

to any event!

I started with cute Hazel & Ruby stencils,

Velcro and a 2x4 lighting panel from

my local home improvement store

(just venture down the lighting aisle).

Apply the Velcro to the ends.

Start decorating!  These awesome letters

can be used over and over. 

Think of all the possibilites!

You could customize them

for ANY evening event.

Place a handy LED lantern or

flashlight in the middle.

Such an easy and cool project!

mushroom garden gnome party....

How fun are these little mushrooms?!

This is such a quick and easy way

to decorate a dessert table.

Hazel & Ruby has the cutest candy

apple red polka dot tissue

paper and re-usable stencil masks!

I made a quick trip to my neighborhood

Target and grabbed some foam cups,

bowls, mini cups and red muffin liners.

Cut out circles about an inch

bigger than the bowls.

To create your mushroom tops, apply some

 Mod Podge and stick the paper to the bowl.

Place the tops on to the 

upside down cups.

Next I cut out some triangles and

and grabbed my letters.

Spell out your phrase then

give it a quick coat of paint.

When you remove the stencils 

it creates such a cute effect!

Throw on a table cloth, sheet moss and 

Gnomes from the garden.

 Load it up with delicious treats

and get ready for the stampede!

Cute and easy...

just how we like it!

wanderlust...

This was one of our favorite posts.

It would be perfect for a Farewell,

Homecoming, or a simple decoration.

 We started with a foam core board

from the dollar store and this
Hazel & Ruby map paper.

 Use Mod Podge to attach

the paper to the board.

 A screwdriver worked perfectly

to poke holes for the Christmas lights.

 This is what it looked like

from the back.

Such a fun and easy project!

Happy crafting!
