A little cozy goes a long way (and a hand warmer DIY) - rae ann kelly
i’m not a super mom. in fact, i’m pretty sure it’s an oxymoron or the opposite of a double negative, or something that cancels itself out. most days i’m just doing what has to be done, making sure my babes have what they need and praying that everything else falls into place. but there is one other thing i take very seriously…. that my kids feel loved. everyday. it would be easy for this task to become overwhelming, but luckily my kids have taught me that it’s the little things that matter. just one act of love goes a looooong way. this winter my default has been just about anything warm and cozy. letting them eat breakfast by the fireplace, adding an extra blanket to their beds, a hot cup of cocoa after being outside, a warm towel to wrap up in after tubs, or…. … reheatable hand-warmers to pop in their pockets on the way to school. so cozy.

Iron around three sides of the squares for about five seconds to melt the fusible hem tape. Share and Enjoy

Decorative Wire Vase DIY Hi, guys! It's Mandi here. I love having flowers in my home, but I can rarely justify buying a fresh bouquet at my every impulse, only to have them die a few days later. Wah, wah. Fortunately, there are a lot of beautiful and realistic looking artificial flowers available at craft stores these days, so I recently splurged on a few pretties. I wanted to make a funky pair of sculptural vases for displaying them. - Heavier gauge wire (This 10 gauge wire is great—I used electrical wiring, because I had it on hand)- Electrical tape- Wire cutters- Scissors- 1ʺ-2ʺ strips of scrap fabric (Use any color or pattern, and feel free to mix it up!) Step One: Cut six pieces of wire to the same length. Step Two: Bend down the ends of the cut wires and secure with electrical tape, leaving enough of an opening for two pieces of wire to squeeze through. Step Four: Fasten the looped vertical wires to the circular base by wrapping electrical wire crosswise around the joints. -Mandi

DIY Magnetic Wristband - My Altered State She can make you do things that you had never imagined yourself doing. Things that will call into question your strength of character, your endurance, and your will to survive. Yes my friends, she can make you sew. S-e-w. With a sewing machine. (More on that in a bit.) First, let me tell you about screws and nails. When you’re creating something, there is a moment when you have wood right where you want it. You balance, prop, stand on one foot, and then turn to grab a nail… …or a screw. (Mom, I totally stopped using my teeth for holding screws, or opening packages. This frustration might be shared by others, like people who make jewelry, or people who are real sewing machine users… These people work with small metal parts too. Enter that handy wristband you may have seen at hardware stores. I thought one of those would be the solution for my loose screws. Only- have you actually SEEN those wristbands at hardware stores? They are huge. So I wasn’t really excited about the prospects. But first… Why?

3 Handmade Gift Topper Combos For the Holidays – Design*Sponge Wrapping gifts during the holiday season has always been an exercise in patience and creativity in most homes. Taking the time to hand make wrapping paper and special gift toppers can be a meditative practice in the middle of the holiday hustle. This year we thought we’d dream up some new ideas for floral toppers inspired by some of our favorite looks and styles from our holiday archives. We teamed up with the DIY experts at JOANN to pick some festive ribbon, florals and other materials to decorate our gifts. P.S. Berry & Greenery Bouquet | Natural Twine | Holiday Buffalo Check Ribbon | Craft Paper The addition of a wide buffalo check ribbon to a classic greenery and twine design amps up the cozy cabin factor for your gift wrapping. Grosgrain Ribbon Trio | Green Holiday Ribbon with Stitched Edge | Black & White Striped Ribbon | Eucalyptus Branch | Cypress Branch | Craft Paper This combo is all about soft pinks and metallics bringing a fairytale glam vibe to the season.

Small Measures: Homemade Watercolors I share my home, and my life, with an MFA-toting husband (whose concentration was in painting and color theory), and an active, inquisitive, art-loving 2 year-old. Between the two of them and my own ongoing craft projects and homemade gift-making endeavors, suffice to say, there is a good deal of paint in our lives. Over the winter, I committed myself to organizing our craft/guest/office room. For today’s Small Measures, in celebration of the Color theme on Design Sponge this month, I’m offering you an incredibly easy and affordable recipe for creating watercolors at home. I really love this watercolor recipe, for so many reasons, but primarily for two. Secondly, since you’re the one mixing the colors, you’re the one creating the palette. Homemade Watercolors The Goods: -1/2 cup baking soda -1/4 cup cornstarch -1/4 cup white vinegar -1 teaspoon corn syrup -Food coloring What about you? -Images and styling by Jen Altman.
