DIY Anthropologie Mason Jar Snow Globes

I love the little Mason Jar Snow Globes they are selling at Anthropologie right now, but not so keen on

Glass Globe Redo

I have a love-hate relationship with the plain glass Christmas ornaments available at craft stores. I love to use these

Cork Burst

I like to create unusual baubles to place on my coffee table or mantel. My kids love unexpected decorating details and this type of thing always grabs the attention of guests. I made this in about 30 minutes and I’m thrilled with it…

Sequin Planter

To combine sequins with a rosemary plant seemed like the perfect thing to do. I picked up my small rosemary plant for $2.99 in my supermarket’s produce section, covered a can in sequin fabric and dropped the plant inside…

Quick Coat Revamp Video

Add personal details to a plain wool coat to make it your own. For about $10.00, you can pick up a bag of embroidery floss at a craft or fabric store and you’re on your way. Check out my video tutorial below for the full story…

Jack-o-latern Soup

Tomato bisque soup with pumpernickel bread croutons make it easy to serve up a fun Halloween lunch with a smile…

Witch Gloves

My kids love plastic witch fingers (available at party stores for a few dollars a bag), but I felt that they needed a little help to make the look more convincing. With the addition of some dollar store gloves – the look is complete…

The Faker’s Hand Towel

My kids “fake wash” their hands. They turn on the water, wait a few seconds, turn it off and leave the bathroom. I am up to their trick – so I thought I’d let them know by sending them a message on the hand towel they never use…

Needlepoint Pencil Cup

A metal pencil cup from IKEA had the perfect surface for a needlepoint sampler – so I thought I’d give it a try…

Freaky Paper Bag Faces

My daughters recently told me that my Halloween craft ideas weren’t creepy enough so, I thought I’d step things up a bit. Here are some super easy and really freaky paper bag faces that you can make with your kids in a flash…

“DIY” Wine Bottle Glasses

I dropped off some empty wine bottles at my local glass shop to have them cut in half and the edges ground smooth. They charged me about $3.50 a piece. So happy to have my new set of glassware. I could also use these as vases…

Pocket Vase

I picked up this vase for a few bucks at a resale shop – I loved the shape and color – but didn’t really care for the message it carried. So, this idea was born…

Potted Candle Planters

For an outdoor party try mixing your lighting with your plants…

5-Minute Pumpkins

Make your own velvet pumpkins in minutes – the kids can definitely do this one. To make these you will need: a square piece of orange velvet (the bigger the square, the bigger the pumpkin), a 3 to 4-inch stick, stuffing and two rubber bands (one thin, one thick).
