Revolutionaries: A Project for Fall!
Hello my blog friends! I'm so pumped to share a project I finished today! It's simple, cheap, quick, and fall-y (yes, that is a word). Anyway... I've been diligently collecting these for what seems like forever: Why? [Side note: please pin from the original source so the credit goes to the right person! But I also love projects involving trees/branches like these: Then, I saw this yesterday and even though it's not made from toilet paper rolls, I thought, hmm.... color behind the toilet paper rolls? So basically... What you need: 1. 3. How to do it: 1. 2. 3. 4. 4. 5. 6. It's so.. fall. And I love that I used things I already had in my craft stuff and I recycled toilet paper rolls! Would it be bad to keep it up all year? Update: here are some more pictures that I took in better lighting! Looking for more toilet paper projects?
leather wallets-they look like scales
When I first spotted these gorgeous card holders/wallets my jaw dropped. I love the aesthetic of them, and the ‘bunting’ of leather scraps is so genius. Plus they’re handmade and super affordable! My cards would surely be lucky to reside in such a piece. Keep reading to find out where to buy it and see more pictures and a key chain you didn’t think you needed ( but you totally do!) You can buy these for $24 to $29 at Spectacle a La Maison on etsy Images: Spectacle a La Maison Other post of mine you might like: The Best Thing to Happen to Your Baby’s Feet This Winter!

I <3 LA pillow
Okay, Okay, so this is my new pillow shop. But I am really excited about it and wanted to share it here first. I started my new pillow venture somewhat accidentally - I made a couple pillow covers for myself and I was instantly hooked! What I love about making pillows, which almost sounds silly if you knew exactly how much I really love making pillows, is pillows are meant to be used, they are comforting while also giving your space new pizazz and style. I also love that I can use a blank piece of fabric and adorn it in such a wide variety of styles and aesthetics, using many different mediums. You can find my new shop at plumed.etsy.com My pillows are at introductory prices and I am also running a special 10% of the purchase of 2 or more pillows, but you can use the special code for having read my blog, "lulobird" for 10% off one pillow or the code "lulobirdtwoormore" for 15% the purchase of two or more pillows!

felt strip rug
This is the most beautiful felt project we’ve seen. Strips of felt are wrapped around each other with hot glue to create this amazing swirled effect. What a great project for a snowed-in weekend and a movie marathon with the family. The kids could even help cut strips and decide on color combination while you operate the hot glue gun. Would you attempt something like this? Keep reading to see more pictures and find out where to find more details about this beautiful felt project!

Crafts: Enormous Window Mosaic
This DIY window art has the appeal of stained glass without the price, it's so easy kids can help and best of all it comes off with just a bit of water. The idea for this project came to me last summer, I planned and tested it in the fall, and finally finished it now as we enter spring. My living room has a large glass sliding door entrance to the patio. Don't mind the chair that's a coming project I'm working on. My patio doors are right in front of a well used walk way, and while I enjoy natural light I don't particularly enjoy strange eyes on me in my living room. I wanted something to let the light in but effectively block the view and I wanted it to look nice and me. Initially I considered buying a window film like this "Clematis Decorative Window Film" from Home Depot. I really wanted something inexpensive, adaptable and most importantly easy to remove since I'm renting. I thought I'd found my solution but to my frustration I found large areas would not stay put.
Rainbow Cake in a Jar
I’ve always had a penchant for sunshine in a jar. Doesn’t the very phrase itself, “sunshine in a jar,” roll off your tongue and fill your mouth with magic? While I’ve never yet found myself a sunshine in a jar, I think we may have just concocted it in our kitchen tonight. In this simple recipe, a basic white cake is turned into a slew of bright colors, baked to perfection, then topped with a creamy white frosting. Cakes baked in jars can be topped with traditional metal canning lids and stored in the fridge for up to five days. They make a great treat to ship to someone, so long as you can ensure delivery to it’s final destination within 3 days. Rainbow Cake in Jar 1 box white cake mix made according to package instructionsNeon food coloring in pink, yellow, green, turquoise, and purple3 one-pint canning jars1 can vanilla frostingRainbow sprinkles Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Scoop about 1/2 cups of cake batter into five small bowls.
