Simple Spring Framed Vases I don’t know about you but I am loving everything that is blooming right now! One of my favorite things to decorate with is fresh flowers. I think it brightens up a room so much! A couple weeks ago at Michael’s I found some tiny little glass vases for .99. Until now! It seemed perfect for my little vase display and I love it! Isn’t it bright and cheery? And not only were there 2 big bunches – but they were still in the paper, because Mr. So let’s get started. You’ll need frames, vases (one or two per frame), and twine. If you have frames that you are happy with – you can skip this step. I have a stash of ucky old oak frames – some of them were happy to donate themselves for a makeover. :) Start by painting your frames in the colors you’d like. Make sure your frames are covered well – and that you paint the inside section where the glass goes as well. Once your frames are dry, brush on a contrasting color - I used dark gray. Make a knot in the twine right at the neck. What do you think??

FIKS*D: Make It: Stick wall hanging by FIKS*D Don't forget to vote on what you think I should rename my blog! >> (There is a prize involved if you come up with a name that I love more than my own ideas!) A Little Bite of Everything | An Ikea Rug Makeover UPDATE: I’ve added the stencil to DIY your own Moroccan rug in this other post. I love the dark wood floors we have in our home. The problem is that, since they are so dark, they show every little bit of dust, especially in the living room, which gets a lot of traffic. That’s when it hit me. What do you think?

It really is as simple as that!

Alphabet block magnets I know I promised more food posts this week, and I do have some ready, but I got so distracted with this tutorial and then felt I just had to finish it and post it before doing anything else. Anything else. Like washing dishes or preparing for our blueberry-picking trip or doing laundry or eating lunch. Sometimes projects do that to you, you know?So here is a tutorial for alphabet block fridge magnets or photo holders. Materials: alphabet blockssmall hand sawsmall piece of sandpaper3/4" round flat magnetsdrill fitted with 3/4" spade bitcraft glue like E6000table vise, clamp or some way to stabilize your block while drilling (I stood on the side of a 3" C-clamp) 1. 4. Once the glue dries, you can stick your block to the fridge and insert a photo or your appointment reminder card or library due date receipt. Now, to use the blocks as tiny standing photo displays, business card or place card holders, simply cut the slit through the top and skip the rest.

say YES! to hoboken: DIY: Tinted Mason Jars in Rainbow I’ve been experimenting with tinting mason jars to create a look like those old vintage ones that are difficult to find anymore in second hand stores. I think I’ve finally honed in on the perfect method. Would you like to see how it’s done? Fill them with flowers, or illuminate an outdoor party filling them with battery operated tea lights or a strand of twinkle lights. copyright 2014 liz stanley // all rights reserved Fun with Foam Printing - Easy Tutorial I loved this idea because not only can you recycle these horrid polystyrene containers, but the process is really simple. You could even use tracing paper and trace your design so you don't even need to be able to draw. You could make a whole series of cards like this or just a colorful print to hang on your wall and cheer up the place. Materials needed: Foam or polystyrene container pencil paint or ink small roller 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Happy printing! Original image courtesy of themetapicture

the hobby room diaries: Layered Paint Chip Art When I was getting paint chips for the notebooks I showed you a couple days ago, I wasn't sure which size I wanted to use, so I grabbed a variety and ended-up with some leftovers. It seems like a total waste to just toss the extras, so I spent some time playing around with different ideas. There are tons of ideas out there for using paint chips, but I don't ever see ideas using the paint chips that have the cute little squares cut out of them. Find these paint chips with the square holes cut out--handy for matching and contrasting colors, even more handy for crafting. Cut the swatches into strips, removing the white strip between each color. Working with the strips upside down, lay one strip down, then lay another on top with the solid end of the top strip over the square cut-out of the bottom strip. Lay another strip on the stack, solid end over the exposed square cut-out. You end up with a woven square that looks like how you fold in the side flaps to close a cardboard box. Voila!
