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!

father's day putting green...

You aren't going to believe how 

easy this was to create!

We used teal Hazel & Ruby

DIY Decor Tape, and  

Teal Then/White Polka Dot

Pass the Tissue.

23" paper mache letters from Joanns,

and an outdoor grass rug from Lowes.

Cut 18" off  the end of the rug, trace

the letters. Cut strips to glue on the edges.

 The DIY Decor Tape covers like a dream!

Hang the rug on your fence.

Use the beautiful tissue paper to make a banner.

Presents are an easy decoration so wrap 

them with corresponding colors.

Now let's celebrate Father's Day! 

having a ball...

This is one of our favorite projects!

We were looking to add some more color to 

this adorable nursery.

We had a bag of plastic balls left over from a Birthday party.

  There were also old rubber bouncy balls that were

 purchased at the grocery store.

 You can find this cool silver duct tape at your

local craft store, and any standard heavy duty thread

will work.

 Wrap the tape all the way around.

Stick the end of the thread under the tape.

Tie all of the balls together and 

hang it from the ceiling.

Such a cool and modern decoration!

pegboard abstract 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!

outdoor carpet 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!
