Snowball Bath Bomb Printable Gift Tag

41 · Nov 10, 2017 · 1 Comment

Hey guys! The Holidays are right around the corner and now’s the time to start preparing. I had a friend tell me today, “the Christmas season starts the minute Halloween is over and Thanksgiving is half-time.” I’m not one to run right past Thanksgiving but, I kind of get where he’s coming from. As busy as things get, it’s a great idea to start workin on those fun neighbor, office, teacher and friend gifts. Now, if you’re planning on baking, you’ll have to wait until the last minute to make your treats. With these Snowball Bath Bombs, you can still pull out the mixer and not have to scramble at the last minute to put your sweet treats together. These could be wrapped up in July if you’re really that prepared!

i dreamed up this flavour combination the other day and was excited to see it come together, figs go really well with goats cheese and honey and the pistachios add a little crunch.

Cute DIY Folding Chairs Makeover

102 · Jun 9, 2013 · 92 Comments

WhipperBerry Creative Team // Today I’m super excited to introduce you to another member of the WhipperBerry Creative Team… Jenn from My Fabulous Life. She is one talented lady with an amazing list of talents…
jenn from my fabuless life


  I’m Jenn and I blog about DIY, furniture refinishing, and other random creative endeavors over at My Fabuless Life. I’m beyond thrilled and flattered that Heather has asked me to be a part of her team.  Today I’m sharing a cute folding chair makeover story in DIY style!

It’s probably no surprise that I love to host parties and gatherings at my house and volunteer my abode for events whenever possible–my husband totally loves it.  So this past year, when the parents asked me what I wanted for Christmas, I told them, without skipping a beat, FOLDING CHAIRS! Buuuttt….I feel like nothing puts a damper on my party quite like adding some drab, ugly folding chairs to a perfectly planned table setting.  You can imagine the parents’ joy when they granted my Christmas wish and I immediately said, “Oh, I’m so excited! I can’t wait to paint these and recover them.” Queue collective, “Aww, no, don’t do that…they’re perfectly good and new…wait until they’re at least beat up a little….”

I had a little guilt about going against the wishes of the gift-givers, but seriously, these girls were not going to be invited to my parties in this outfit.

How to Makeover Folding Chairs – Do it Yourself Style

I originally set out to do some vintage florals, but plaids have stolen my heart in a big way lately–for some reason whenever I say this, I hear Tim Gunn in my head talking about menswear.  Anyway, I was at Walmart, of all places one day, and found the blue and pink plaid (on the right) in their remnant bin for like $2.00 and knew EXACTLY what I was going to do with the chairs.  The gold, polka dot burlap was not in the original plan, but when you find GOLD, POLKA DOT BURLAP (at Joann’s), you USE IT!  I may need meetings for this burlap addiction because it is quickly appearing all over my house and I can not get enough.

How to Add Cushions to Metal Folding Chairs

Metal folding chairs are a bit uncomfortable. So, if you don’t already have the one’s with cushions you’ll want to add cushions first. This might seem hard if you want to do it yourself but it’s actually easy! The things you’ll need for adding a cushion are below.

Things You’ll Need to DIY:

Spray paint (about one can for each chair)
Fabric (less than 1/2 yard for each chair)
Staple gun (can be purchased for about $10 just about anywhere that sells basic tools)
(4) 1″ screws for each chair

Start by removing the pads from the chair.  On my chairs, the ones on the back just came off by unscrewing three little screws.

The seat cushion was attached with some type of plastic screws so I just clipped the ends off with wire cutters (just something will cut through thick plastic).  DON’T TRY TO PULL THEM OUT.  They have a flat head that’s attached to the wood under the padding and you’ll just rip a hole through the seat–learned that one the hard way.

Then spray paint the chairs.  I used Valspar Brushed Rose and Mellow Spring from Lowe’s.  While the paint is drying, you can upholster your cushions.

Just lay the cushion on the fabric, cut a piece of fabric big enough to pull around it, and staple it down right over the top of the existing fabric.  Make sure to keep it pulled tight, and if you’re using a fabric with a pattern, keep flipping the cushion over as you go to make sure you’re keeping the pattern straight.

Trim the excess fabric and reattach the cushions.  To attach the seat cushions, just drill a new screw up through where the old plastic screw used to be.

And there you have it!  Pretty, party-ready chairs! And when they’re this easy, you can change the fabric for every party if you want!

Lunchbox Notes /// Kiki & Company

20 · Sep 20, 2012 · 15 Comments

Hi everyone! I am so happy to be here today at Whipperberry. My name is Kiki and I blog over at Kiki and Company. 

I am thrilled to be here helping Heather out as she gets ready to move her family across the US and it really inspired todays free printable. I don't know about you, but one of my favorite things to do is put a little note in my kids lunch, hide one in their backpack or put one on their freshly made bed. I love the reaction my kiddos give me. They always come home with an extra big hug when they found a little note that brought a smile to their face. Today I whipped up a few for older kids (and it will of course work for younger ones as well!). They are little sentiments of inspiration to help them get through those jr. high hallways, high school classes, or in Heather's case..those first days being in a new school. (I am even printing some off to keep in my purse in case one of my OWN friends needs a little boost!)

You can pick up the notes RIGHT HERE and start spreading some smiles!

 

If you would like to grab more of the free Lunchbox series, you can find them HERE at my blog.

You also don't want to miss FREEBIES every month in my newsletter..you can sign up for it on my sidebar!

Thanks for having me, Heather. I will miss you more than words can say here in Vegas.. those Nebraskans are truly hitting the jackpot!


Isn’t Kiki just divine? I am totally going to print some of those Lunchbox Notes for my kiddos to have while we are going through the moving process.  I’m sure they are going to need it!

I’ve been lucky enough to call Kiki a, “in person” friend as well as an “online” friend.  She is the sweetest person out there and I’m truly going to miss having her close by.  She is a real talent, that girl!  Make sure you bookmark Kiki & Company {if you haven’t already} because she does some aaaamazing work!
