Here is some more DIY goodness from Julia to kick off your work week: Pom poms are the perfect decoration (I know I just said that about flag garlands, but pom poms are right up there in my mind!). They add a pop of color, a splash of whimsy, and just look plain fun swinging in the breeze. Up until now, I had never considered the possiblity that pom poms were a true DIY project, one that you could actually do yourself and make look good. In short, pom poms intimidated me.

I’m starting a new series on Oh Happy Day on how to make different pinatas!

But be careful, these pinatas are so pretty its tempting not to break them and just let them hang pretty in the corner.

Yes, I am a nerd. I came up with a brilliant idea for a Harry Potter t-shirt and I couldn't resist. "Expecto Patronum! " However, you can make whatever kind of design you want with a freezer paper stencil. It doesn't have to be Harry Potter related. (Although it would be awesome if it was.) I learned about the joys of freezer paper back in my early college days.

To make a sweet t-shirt you will need: paper & pencil a t-shirt an iron a piece of cardboard or poster board fabric paint & brush Start by drawing your design on some regular old paper.

Lined Paper Tee by Maybe Matilda - StumbleUpon. I’m pretty dang excited to be guest posting on U Create, of all places, with an easy and fun project for you. Just in time for heading back to school, I came up with this cute top: My name is Rachel, and I blog over Maybe Matilda. I’m from small-town New York, currently living in Utah with my soon-to-be-chiropractor husband and our soon-to-be-one-year-old son. When I’m not sweeping up Cheerios, I love sewing and crocheting for my etsy shop, and sharing what I make on my blog.

Here’s what you’ll need to make this tee: a white tank, tee, or onesie masking tape foam brush blue and red acrylic paint.
Always in Wonder: Living Room Makeover, Part 1: Herringbone Wall. Remember a couple of days ago when I posted the sneak peak picture, and told you that I went through 2 large rolls of Scotch Blue Painter’s Tape in one day? Well today I am going to show you the finished product. Our hard work totally paid off, and the wall looks so good. I saw this picture on Pinterest, and it was love at first sight. I’ve always loved herringbone pattern in fabric. This wall was created by Laurie, and featured on Design Sponge.
And there’s even a short tutorial on how to recreate the herringbone patterned wall. The first thing we did was paint all of our walls. After painting the wall gray we found the center of our wall, and began measuring, marking, and taping off our vertical lines. Next, on our vertical lines of tape we measured down every 10 inches. Once everything was taped off we painted every other row with Dutch Boy’s Refresh Ultra White. You can see how the gloss changed the sheen of the Modern Classic and adds a subtle dimension to the pattern. Linking up to: How To Create Paper Blossoms | Apartment Therapy DC.

Holder for Charging Cell Phone (made from lotion bottle) My husband and I both have cell phones. And both of us have phone chargers. And that means lots of obnoxious cords. You never know when one of us may be moving phone cords around, to give our phones an extra charge while we’re chatting away……… or trying to charge our phones up before running errands or something. Needless to say, those phone cords seem to be everywhere…..and are generally in the way and hanging all over the floor.
(Okay, and how about when you’re in a hotel or visiting family/friends. I was looking around on the internet for a solution and found this. It made the perfect little holder for my cell phone while it’s being charged. Holder for Charging Cell Phone And no more phone hanging down from the outlet while in this room or that room……..the cord and phone are now up off the ground, and tucked away into the little holder, while the phone drinks up a full charge.

I’ve been working on about 5 different projects simultaneously. The biggest accomplishment this week was my screened porch makeover. I have been itching to make it an outdoor living and relaxing room for about 4 years now.
Well, it is about 95% done. And to celebrate, Pretty Handsome Guy and I slept outside on the porch last night. One of the projects I completed for the porch was an old curbside window that I turned into a unique piece of art using a product that ETI sent me. The product is called EnviroTex Lite and it is a high gloss resin polymer compound used for sealing and protecting arts, crafts, jewelry, countertops and more! I have to admit, I was a little scared of the EnviroTex Lite. The utility lighter was more within my comfort level. My beautiful butterfly window started out looking like this: Someone was throwing away these old windows.
