DIY Paper Bag Flooring. Tin Can Shelf Craft ZingZingTree. I always have a new love and this month it’s this adorable Tin Can Shelf Craft.

Tin Can Shelf Craft ZingZingTree

Not only do they look fantastic but they are practical and a great way to upcycle some of those tin cans we constantly throw away. Paint your tin can inside and out using either water based enamel or acrylic paint. Both dry really quickly and leave a slight shine when dry. I used enamel paint for the colour and white acrylic paint for the inside both of which only needed three layers. I did try to use white enamel paint but it was so unforgiving, needed a ridiculous amount of layers and didn’t leave an even coat. When dry use a small tack to attach the tin can shelf to the wall. The perfect little place for putting all those cute Zelfs, Moshi’s, Trash packes etc.

And small enough to leave little accents all over the house. This was part of a fab Tin Can Craft Hangout. Tagged Hangout, Storage. Great Craft Ideas – April 2014. As usual, I’m running behind on these recaps!

6 DIY Signs for Your Decor. Handmade Anniversary Gift Idea. By Ruth Soukup on April 7 My husband and I have always made a bigger deal of our first date anniversary than our actual wedding anniversary (which happens to be tomorrow), and a few weeks ago we celebrated 10 years together!

Handmade Anniversary Gift Idea

Woot! We are also not normally big on gifts, but in honor of this milestone I thought I would finally tackle a little DIY project I have been wanting to try for a few years now, ever since I spotted this pretty vintage map heart art on Pinterest (selling for $300!) If you’ve ever read my Amazing Grace story you know that Chuck and I have moved around a lot in ten years! From Seattle to Saint Louis to Florida, we have shared no fewer than fifteen different addresses in six different cities, which pretty much made this the perfect gift! Finally, in case you’re wondering, I got my frame on sale at Target for around $15. Here is what you need: Step 1: Cut out heart template in the size you want.

Step 2: Trace template around the cities or places you want to include. 34 “Must Do” Spring Projects Roundup. 20 DIY Painted Projects! Paint is such a simple and cheap way to change up a room or project!!
