DIY Baby Gift ~ Portable Growth Chart Kit

111 · · 107 Comments

I grew up with a Mom who religiously made those cute little tick marks inside a door frame every year to mark our growth.  Sadly when we moved we didn’t get to take the door frame with us.  Sooo, I thought I would make a portable growth chart kit for my kiddos that can stay on the wall or be tucked away and taken out on special occasions.  Here is what you need…

Valentine Cookie Cartons

heart shaped chocolate chip cookies

I am in love with Valentine’s Day this year.  I just can’t get enough of it and all the fun creations that come with it. 

Again… packaging is everything!!  I made some fun heart shaped chocolate chip cookies the other day, and thought this would be a fun Valentine goodie, but what should I put it in?

I found these lovely cartons at a restaurant supply store here in Vegas, they were super-cheap and I knew I could dress them up!

WB 047

I designed a logo for the front of the carton which I printed on sticker paper,  basically one large label. You can find them at your office supply store. I then created a topper for the lid, and voila, done.  A perfect little container for my sweet little heart shaped delights!

Oh… and just because I {heart} you, I am going to share my printable for the Valentine cartons!! {Click on the image to download.}

Ribbon Christmas Trees {Tutorial}

288 · · 81 Comments

I wanted to do something different with my Christmas décor this year to break away from the traditional red and green. I decided to go with black and white.

But in an effort not to break the bank, I tried to make a lot of the new decorations. One thing that caught my eye this season was the ribbon Christmas trees we’ve seen so often. But I wanted to do them a little bit differently.

Ribbon Trees

Instead of folding the ribbon in half (picture on left), I looped it around (picture on right).

First I spray painted my Paper Mache cones black. Then I cut black and white stitched grosgrain ribbon into pieces ranging from 2.5 –4 inches. I started with the longer pieces at the bottom. After looping the ribbon, I secured each piece with hot glue, and finished row by row, shortening the ribbon lengths as I got higher.

On one tree I alternated colors every row, and on the other I alternated each piece.

I finished the top with a bit more ribbon wrapped around the tip.

Now I have two beautiful trees that go perfectly with my new décor!
