Pretty Spring Wreath

Pretty Spring Wreath

I made a pretty Spring wreath using flowers from Michael’s Store but you could use the same technique with flowers from your favorite shop.I’ve had bright pink on my mind this Spring and I was thrilled to find so many pretty stems in one spot! (I have to admit I went one step further, it was pouring out so I had it same day delivered…my new favorite thing!!)I’ve had my Forsythia wreath up for awhile and it’s time for a switch.

One of the perks of being a DIY-er is that your friends know just who to give their random and seemingly useless things to.When one of those friends called and asked if I wanted a box of tile scraps, I didn't realize I'd get some pieces perfectly suited for making a unique American Flag decor piece.

Patriotic DIY American Flag Build (Easy as Red, White, and Blue)

Patriotic DIY American Flag Build (Easy as Red, White, and Blue)

This American Flag, was built for a special friend and fellow veteran. It is a Challenge Coin Holder, (challenge coins are for another story) . It is 24" X 36" and was made with standard Pine boards 1/2" thick. But I have seen these made with everything from exotic woods, to palets. If you want to build this beauty as a wall hanging then you needn't make the small shelves I created to hold the coins. but if you are looking at making something for the "man cave" or for that matter the "lady cave" "MERICA!!!" you can add a small shelf to the bottom for "oh I don't know" "SHOT GLASSES" "just sayin" Itook a trip down to the local big box store and picked up some pine boards, I had them cut them down to length 36" to save some time back at the shop

Upcycled Velcro Chalkboard Photo Wall Display

Upcycled Velcro Chalkboard Photo Wall Display

I stumbled across an old picture at my local junk shop and picked it up for almost nothing. I wasn't interested in the picture, what I was after, was the frame. I upcycled this picture into a fantastic chalkboard photo wall display. There are 2 unique things about this photo frame. Firstly I used velcro sticky dots to secure the photos, so it's ridiculously easy to change the pictures around. Secondly as the photos are mounted on a chalkboard you can write fun tags and messages with chalk. *please note that this was a tired old print and not an orginal painting. If it was the orginal I would have been able to retire on the thousands if not millions I could have sold it for. :-)

Transformations Using the Craft of Decoupage

Transformations Using the Craft of Decoupage

Decoupage is a traditional paper craft – the art of decorating an object by gluing colored paper cutouts. The word decoupage comes from the French verb decouper, ‘to cut out’. It was in the 17th century that the craft reached its height of popularity with aristocrats, noble ladies as well as the more humble practitioners trying out the art of decoupage. Today, decoupage remains a popular craft with far reaching variations and many crafters’ use decoupage to add dimension to their work.Lets look at an up cycling project today using this versatile technique.

Horizontal Blinds to Headboard in One Day

Horizontal Blinds to Headboard in One Day

Nowadays they don't seem to sell the type of headboard that I'm looking for. They are too small, come with a head and footboard, or too bulky. For a smaller room I can't have something as large as what I could find in a store or online...and then the price is crazy.So as I was putting drapes up in one room I knew I had to get rid of a ton of blinds. They are in good shape so I really didn't want to just throw them out so yes......I stored them. I'm glad I did because it hit me...shiplap is all the rage right now...and with all crazes, it will not be as cool in a year or two, so why pay the price for the wood when I can do it out of blinds. They are perfectly level, no warps, knot holes, etc. Plus the best part is that this headboard will not weigh a ton and need to have huge wall anchors to attach it.So away I went to the proverbial drawing board. What can I put these slats on? I want to keep it light...foam board. I got 2 packages (a set of 2 so 4 total) at Walmart for 3.50 each set. I only needed 3 foam boards but it was cheaper this way. Plus, I'm thinking of making a second one for a gift if this turns out the way I hope.I used just about everything that I had on hand in the house. If you needed to buy all of these items your cost would run about $40. And that includes purchasing some horizontal blinds.So here we go.....

According to Eclectic Products website “UNICORN SPiT SPARKLING is a paint, gel stain and glaze concentrate – all in one bottle. It creates a sparkling, 3-dimensional effect on wood, glass, metal, fabric, pottery, wicker, concrete and laminate.

Vintage Frame Turned Message Board

Vintage Frame Turned Message Board

Upcycle projects were my JAM for a very long time before I got brave and started to do bigger DIYs. But every once in a while I need to treat myself to a simple DIY that brings new life to an old thing, ya know? I found this vintage frame at an estate sale for a whopping $3. So, duh. It never had a picture, glass of any kind, or even a backer. I bought this just for the love of that tattered gold and turned it in to a message board.With this technique you can turn any old frame into a beautiful repurposed message board!
