Wooden Brooches
I recently purchased some laser-cut wooden flowers while shopping at Joann Fabrics. They came in a variety of different flowers-they even had a bird. At only a $1.99, they were small and inexpensive. I grabbed a few and then headed over to the paint and Diamond Dotz section. While I shopped, I came up with…
A Goose Planter for All Occasions
I wanted to share a project I’ve been working on. Recently, a small goose planter caught my eye at my local thrift store. I glanced at it, but I decided to leave it. Several days later it was still on my mind. Luckily, when I went back, it was still there. I’m going to be…
Valentine Pin Art
With Valentine’s Day approaching, I wanted to create a new pin art piece for the frame I have in my sitting room. I have a ton of extra foam sheets from a package I received a while ago. Instead of throwing it all away, why not create art with it? I used velour contact paper…
Plaster Frame Ornaments
I bought these cute plaster ornaments a few years ago at Michael’s Craft Store. I’ve been painting plaster ornaments and village pieces for years. I love how a little bit of paint can take a bland piece of white plaster and turn it into a beautiful, cherished item. I wanted to paint the frames and…
Peppermint Stick Scarf
If you’ve read my first blog post, you know I love a thick scarf. Especially a thick, Christmas-themed scarf. For this post, I want to share with you a fun pattern I came up with using the inspiration of a Christmas mug I bought years ago. I love going to craft fairs during the holidays.…
Spiderweb Pin Art
With Halloween just a week away, I wanted to update my pin art frame with a spooky print. Since it can be difficult to depict objects with sequins, I wanted something that was unmistakable for the season. I finally thought of the perfect idea: a spiderweb. Once I got the hang of creating the tracing…
Dollar Tree Fall Craft
With my favorite season fast approaching, I wanted to share a simple fall Dollar Tree craft. This quaint craft was both easy and inexpensive, two of my favorite things. I love experimenting with different craft supplies to create something memorable. Wooden cut-outs and signs are plentiful at every craft and department store, and there are…
Memorial Angel Ornament
Are you holding onto a cherished shirt or other piece of fabric from a loved one who’s passed? You know you’ll never wear it, yet you just can’t part with it. Instead of keeping it hidden in your closet or in a box in the basement, why not make something with it? This craft is…
Upcycling a 1970s Mediterranean Dresser
I love watching videos and reading up about furniture renovations, but I’ve always been too chicken to try to do it myself. Then one day on my way to work, I saw it. It looked like a large, ornate buffet on the side of the road. I was drawn in by the unusual decorative cabinet…
Knitted Diamond Table Runner
For the past year I’ve been working on an upcycled TV stand that I hope to show off next month. Now that I’m nearly finished, I wanted to buy a table runner to go underneath the TV to help protect the top finish of the piece. After searching online, I found a beautiful diamond macrame…
