Garden Diva Chick

I've had this wire dress form for a long time and have been wanting to do something with it. Paid a visit to Wingard's Nursery because they had a potting area with very helpful staff. Had a good day being creative with her.

  • using a clean glass jar, apply removable adhesive labels of your choice (i used round labels from the office supply store)
  • turn your jar upside down to prevent paint overspray + apply several light coats
  • once dry, gently remove the labels
  • add a layer of glass floral beads or sand. this protects your surface from heat damage from a long-burning candle
  • i love the playfulness of the dotted design 1

DIY Tufted Headboard

I've been wanting an upholstered headboard ever since we got rid of our creaky wrought iron canopy bed like, 8 years ago, but the ones I really wanted were uber-expensive. I kept thinking ...»
that someday I'd make a headboard that looked like one of those expensive headboards that I daydreamed about. Well that someday has come! If you read my headboard round-up post from a few weeks ago, you'll notice that the ones I really liked were in the $1,000-2,000 range. This one cost $99 to make. 99 bucks! For more details on how to make this headboard, click over to the blog: http://www.lilikoijoy.com/2013/04/diy-tufted...
