Hanging Diamond Decor project, photos, and tutorial contributed by Kathleen of Snowdrop & Co. Now that June is upon us, it’s beginning to really feel like summer. These hanging diamond ornaments are a great way to offset that summer heat – don’t they remind you of ice cubes floating mid-air? Plus, with all the diamond-shaped products out there these days wouldn’t it be a blast to throw an icy cool diamond party this summer? I hope you won’t forget to send Sugar & Cloth an invitation! These DIY metallic diamonds are fun to hang as an overhead table centrepiece or for photo backdrops, but you could easily leave off the string for modern tabletop décor.

Makeup Brush Holder The environment in which you make yourself beautiful deserves to be beautiful too! It’s no secret that we can’t get enough of everything ombré…so we used that, and our love of sand art to create this exclusive makeup brush display in collaboration with the new Nordstrom Beauty Spot. Form and function are the ultimate BFFs with this simple but stunning display piece. To create: Pour 1/2 cup of ionized salt onto a surface and color it by rolling colored chalk onto the salt. P.S.- Check out another rad beauty DIY, Erica’s beauty picks and more at Nordstrom.com/beautyspot DIY | bath bomb favors » Something Turquoise {ideas for the DIY bride} I throughly enjoy a relaxing soak in my tub… and bath bombs (or fizzie’s) always make bath time more enjoyable!!!

Free Printable Chalkboard Banner Letters! Oh hey friends! I don’t know about you guys, but I am itching for Fall. I’m ready for pumpkins, soup, cooler temps and maybe even a little football… Maybe. I love putting up a new banner every year around this time. I printed mine out on white card stock first. I wanted to add a little something to each one, so I added a small glue dot to each corner, and laid them on some burlap. Then, I just used the scissors again to cut around each banner leaving about 1/2″ around each one. I also found these great burlap flowers at Hobby Lobby that are half off this week… That made them around $2! Then, I used a piece of thick jute twine to run a string along my hutch. I just attached each banner to the twine and I was done. So… You know the drill. Let me know if you have any questions at all!

3D Alphabet Templates If you’re looking for more wall art ideas for kids rooms, here are free printable 3D alphabet templates including all the letters from A to Z that you can print and make, to spell any words or phrases you like. Each letter template is in black outline with grey shades on the sides of the letters so when you print them on colored papers, it adds a darker shade to the paper color for a nice detail and more 3D feel. The letters are based on a 3D styled font which renders itself perfectly to be made into actual 3D letters. The design is great for space and robot related words in striking colors but I printed them on pastel colored papers this time to give them a soft twist and they looked lovely! They make great alphabet wall art for nurseries and kids rooms as well as cool desk top or bookshelf decoration. You can make a complete A to Z 3D wall display as I did (above) but it will take some time to make all the letters. How to make 3D Alphabet Wall Art 1. 2. 3. Download

After a huge clean, the house experiences a few days of perfect organization and cleanliness before the chaos creeps back in, usually through a series of seemingly innocent decisions — a piece of mail I set aside instead of filing away; an irresistible thrift-shop find that gets purchased without a plan for where it should go; a sale on craft supplies. You know how it is. Okay, maybe they’re not so innocent. While I still plan to eliminate and prevent clutter, I also embrace it to a certain extent as a challenge to finding clever ways of storing things secretly. Read the full how-to after the jump!

DIY Aluminum Drum Pendant Pendant lights are one of the most fun things to DIY since you can work with a ton of different materials and styles all while keeping electrical work to a minimum. It’s been about a year since I walked by these pretty, perforated metal sheets at my local hardware store and knew I had to make something from them. There are a few different patterns ranging from quatrefoil to triangles. They’re intended to be used with large vents and radiators, but I thought a pendant light would make a wonderful (and beautiful) alternative project for them. As with most of my ideas, I look for things that can be highly customized, offering a range of outcomes. Click through for the full how-to after the jump! Materials: Steps: Step One: Measure the top circumference of your lampshade and add 1/2 inch to your measurement. Measure and mark out a piece of your metal sheet which matches the appropriate length (total circumference) and appropriate width (however low you want it to hang).
