Mother’s Day Cards to Make or Buy. {DIY Wedding Tips} Burlap, Linen & Tulle Wreath. If you missed it Sunday, I shared all my wedding pictures & details from our sweet day!!

{DIY Wedding Tips} Burlap, Linen & Tulle Wreath

If you did get a chance to see it, you may have noticed quite a few little projects scattered throughout the decor!! I mentioned that a ton of it came from my own house but a lot of things were made specially for the big day :) And if you're no stranger to Tattered & Inked, you know that I love a good wreath. So much so that I think I ended up with about five wreaths at the wedding. This one topped them all though but be warned, it was quite a bit of work!! If you hate cutting, cutting, cutting & then gluing, gluing, gluing, you probably won't be friends with this wreath :) Classroom DIY: DIY Memo Board. DIY Memo Board.

I’ve said this before, but I have no problem saying it again.

DIY: Marquee Letters

I love Ashley at Sugar & Cloth. She’s super creative and her DIYs are projects that I would actually make. You know, there are lots of DIYs that I’d pin, but never make. Today’s fab project from Ashley is on my to-do list for this weekend, I’m so in love. Enjoy! I love the idea of marquee letters, and according to Pinterest, so does everyone else. Materials needed: Large cardboard letter (JoAnn’s is the best place to find one) X-acto Knife. Fantastic Cleaners. DIY Sliding Knot Bracelet.

After visiting the Mediterranean twice this past year, I’ve come to embrace the ubiquity that is the evil eye symbol and have since integrated it into the jewelry repertoire.

DIY Sliding Knot Bracelet

Today I’ll be showing you how to make a sliding knot bracelet with an evil eye charm, which is thought to protect against negative energy and evil powers. And whether you’re superstitious or not, this is a super simple method which can be applied to any connector or charm! You’ll need: Thread 4 inches of cord through one side of the charm. Fold 2 inches of cord back on itself and then again to create a zig zag. Fold an inch of the tip down over the parallel cords. Thread the tip through the opening of the left loop. Push the coil to the right and pull the tip until the knot is tight. Thread the other end of the cord through the opposite side of the charm and create the same zig zag. Coil the tip around all the cords three times and thread the tip through the loop. Melt the ends with a lighter.
