DIY Framed Spooning Decor




For the last several weeks I’ve seen many different versions of this project on Pinterest. I of course, wanted to make one to.  I think it is hilarious and adorable!  I think it is perfect for any gift (birthday, anniversary, wedding etc.) and would be a great addition for your own home.  I made this one as a gift but plan to make another one for my kitchen since it is so easy, cheap and cute! 

I could never find a very good tutorial of how to create this on Pinterest, so (like most of my projects), I created my own method.  This is how I made it:

Step 1:  Gather Supplies
  • Frame
  • 2 Spoons
  • Background Paper (optional)
  • Printed Saying
  • Hot Glue or other strong glue
  • Tape or Glue (if you don't want to use hot glue on papers)
  • Scissors
 
Step 2: Cut Out Both the Background Paper and Printed Saying

I found it easiest to plan where I wanted to place the saying before cutting them out.  That way I could make sure to do it the right size.  I also printed out several different sizes of my saying because I wasn't sure how big I wanted them to be.  I decided to use crafting scissors to create a fun border but you can do whichever way you would like.

Step 3:  Tape or Glue Papers to the Background of the Frame

I decided to use tape so that I could move them around if I needed to.



Step 4:  Hot Glue Spoons to Back of Frame

Hot glue both the bottom handle of the spoon and the rounded part (where you eat from) using a generous amount of glue.  Press and hold for a few seconds to make sure it will hold. 

The End Result

 I think this turned out great and I can't wait to give it as a gift!

Get Naked From Yay Prints



I love quotes and sayings in my house.  I love how they show my personality through a few words.  This week I added to my collection using one of Courtney's photos from YAY Prints.  I also had a chance to interview her.  I was able to learn where she got the idea for her new collection and why she started her business.

1. What made you want to start YAY Prints?

Last year I started working from home. I spend a lot of time on the computer answering emails and phone calls. Designing prints was my way to blow off some steam. I had so many ideas that I decided to open YAY prints etsy.

2. Why did you go for the digital prints instead of mailing them? 

There are a lot of benefits for going digital. First! It's a lot cheaper to go and print it yourself vs. buying the print and having it shipped to you. My customer's can worry less about the package being damaged and waiting for the package, digital is delivered to you instantly! PLUS my customer's can print it as many times as they want and give it to others for gifts, or use it as a phone background, or computer background.


3. How do you choose what to make the prints of? (they seem all very positive, is that a theme)

The inspiration from my prints come from my daughter! It's important to me that she sees the beauty this world has to offer and that she recognizes the good. A lot of my prints are so she can see and read the prints in our home.
If you want to see more of her prints check out her Etsy Shop HERE

Check out in a few weeks how I created a personalized frame for this photo.

DIY Wall Art Using Cardboard


     I think my living room is finally decorated how I like it! In just a few weeks I was able to turn my blank walls into a room showing personality and feel like home.  I did this with a mixture of do it yourself projects, apartment therapy tricks and budget tips.  I'll post pictures of the whole room soon to show you the overall look (since I'm so excited how it turned out!).

   Now back to the project, I created this project using cardboard and wall paper in less than 10 minutes and for only $1!  It was the easiest project I've made so far and it goes great with my other living room decor.  This is a tutorial of how I did it.

Do It Yourself Framed Monogram Letter



     I love words and letters.  I love how they show your personality and who you are, I love all the different styles, colors, fonts and sizes they can come in.  Plus they are really easy to decorate with and great for apartment therapy because you can make a statement with your favorite quote.

DIY Sunburst Mirror from Paint Sticks


I love mirrors and new ways to use "junk" (like the paint sticks)! So when I found all the unique  sunburst mirror craft ideas to do at home on Pinterest I knew I needed to make my own to turn paint sticks  and mirror from junk to treasure. Here is how I did it.

DIY Repurpose Old Shelf or Wood Piece for under $5




On Pinterest I see tons of people who create amazing do it yourself crafts using old furniture or wood to paint unique pieces for their home.  I decided I would start small (in case mine didn't look HGTV worthy) and create my own wall art.  I used a shelf from old furniture my neighbors were throwing away but you could use a piece of wood and get the same result.  I was very impressed with the results!  It turned out very cute, it was easy, fast, and budget friendly.  It could even be a project for kids to help you with.

DIY EAT Cardboard Letter Art for Under $1



I have had the wall space above my sink in my kitchen empty for months.  It has been waiting for something unique to be hung there.  After searching Pinterest for various do it yourself kitchen wall art ideas, not really finding anything I was in love with I decided to make my own cheap craft using repurpose cardboard and yarn to create an "EAT" sign.

DIY Quote Wall Art Using Paint Chips


This project is my favorite do it yourself project I have done so far.  It looks cute, you are able to create this paint chip craft in any style you choose, and you are able to create this easy wall art for very cheap.  I repurposed an old frame, paint chips of any color and paper to create this project.  I don't have very many pictures for this project but I don't think you will need any since it is very easy.

DIY Cardboard Wall Art for only $3




With my school semester coming to an end and my recently cut work hours as a pre maternity leave before Baby Z gets here, I have more time on my hands then ever.  It started out very relaxing between my binge watching of Netflix, a nap, a little more Netflix, another nap and some Pinterest browsing in between.  But I started to get bored fast  and decided I needed to do something useful.  So I decided I would put my Pinterest addiction to good use and start making do it yourself projects one by one (even though I have never really done DIY projects... ever...).  I learned I actually really like doing them because of the satisfaction and the challenge! Its a challenge because....
      1. I didn't think I could craft or decorate
      2. I have a very small budget for supplies
So back to my project this was the first one I made and I am quite proud of myself!

 I attempted to get similar results as Bon Temps Beignet but decided to use a different method that was faster for me and used materials I already had.
