Snowflake Art | Tutorial

3 · · 2 Comments

Earlier this month I created a guest post for the lovely ladies from The Letter 4 while they were having a ball meeting Martha on the Martha Stewart show.  Just in case you missed it here is the Snowflake Art that I shared over there.

I am one of those displaced snow bunnies!  I grew up in Colorado skiing and loving everything that winter brought with it. For the past eight years I've been living in Las Vegas  and I can count the amount of times I've seen snow on one hand. So… When the girls invited me over I knew I wanted to create a project to add a little snow to my life!

I took my inspiration from a fabulous project that I found on Pinterest  from the Ballard Bunch. It was a simple snowflake made from craft sticks and it was stunning!!  I decided to take the humble craft stick and create a fun wall or door display using some chargers from the dollar store, some ribbon, paint and sprinkle of SNOW!

DIY Halloween Trick-or-Treat Bags

I just realised that I never posted this DIY Trick-or-Treat bag that I made for a fun event over at Eighteen25 and thought I would share if you happened to miss it.  It's so easy and fun… you TOTALLY still have time to make some for your kiddos for the festivites coming up!

When I think of Halloween one of my favorite elements is coming up with a super cute Trick-or-Treat bag for my four kiddos.  Now in my day, the bag of choice was my pillow case becuase I tend to lean on the side of optimistic, or shall we say hopeful! But a pillow case is about as cute as a… well a pillow case!

This year I teamed up with Christene one of my contributors at WhipperBerry to create a super easy DIY Trick-or-Treat bag that is the perfect size and darn stickin' cute…

Here is a fun project that I dreamt up the other day after a quick trip to the thrift store.  I found this great sketch pad and it was calling my name!!  I thought it would make a fun DIY Chevron Memo Chalkboard, with a stitch of Krylon Spray Paint{blue ocean breeze} and some fun Krylon Chalkboard Spray Paint I knew we would be in business.

So… a sketch pad is like a giant clip board that you can buy at art supply stores and it generally looks like this {just a little less used}…

DIY Freezer Paper & Crinoline Butterfly Mobile

I am currently in love with a number of things, a few of which are… the color white, butterflies, freezer paper and crinoline.  What is crinoline you ask?  It's a fabric that has been used for many years under skirts and dresses to give a fuller effect.  I have started using it for a couple of projects and have fallen in love with the crisp, white, rustic effect that it can add to a project.  It cuts and tears beautifully and is a dream to work with.  Enough about that… here is what you will need to make a butterfly mobile of your own.
