Easy Popsicle Stick Easel

Decorating can be hard, especially when one is endeavoring to do so on a budget, but if you’ve been here for any length of time, you are well aware that I am the queen of making a whole new wall out of a bit of trash and some glue. As a kid I tried to

Winter Wonderland Village

I’ve always loved the look of various dough and clay based decorations one finds around this time of year, and the other day I decided to try my hand at one of my own. Every year I build a custom gingerbread house and it’s always a joy to design each element, so I was thinking

Vintage Hanukkah Box

For anyone in need of a last minute hannukah gift wrap, I created this vintage inspired box which can be made from a single sheet of paper or card stock. I started off by drafting a basic box template (which I will be using to create some more holiday boxes in the near future) and

Dancing Dreidels

It can be really hard to find cute and cozy Hanukkah decor, so as part of a continuing quest to create some, this year I decided to make a stuffed felt dreidel! Like all of my felt project, this is cut and sewn not felted, and requires an absolute minimum of materials and time. To

Thanksgiving Place Cards

I love a good tablescape as much as the next girl, but at my family’s thanksgiving table there us usually basically no room for anything other than food and plates (and sometimes even that’s a squeeze). However that’s no excuse to fall off the fall decor bandwagon early, so I put together these quick and

Mantles and More

About a month ago, I undertook a weekend to build a mantlepiece with nothing but cardboard, paint, and a bit of tape, and the results were if I do say so myself, quite impressive especially given the literal pile of trash we started with. However, ever since constructing my mantle, I’ve been haunted by its

Easy Halloween Rosettes

This year October feels like it has positively flown by, so if you find yourself like me having to add tome pizzaz to your Halloween at the last minute, these are a great choice for something that will look like you’ve been working on it all month! Rosettes are great and versatile craft because they

Marvelous Mantlepiece

Several weeks ago the string lights that made my seasonal feature wall in my living room burned out rather spectacularly, blowing out every single bulb at once. I had been waiting to replace them for Christmas lights to come back into physical stores since they’re SO much cheaper that way, but having the space dark

Vintage Inspired Tab Dividers

With everyone headed back to school, and the shelves full of cute but expensive supplies, I thought this would be the perfect time to tackle some DIY school/office supplies! One of my favorite things growing up was always getting to set up a fresh backpack and binder for the new school year, and what better

Felt Elephant Friend

Sometimes, you get an idea for a project and know exactly what you want it to look like, and all kinds of materials you want to experiment with, other times, you’re poking around through your pile of craft supplies–cause buying them and using them really are part of the same hobby I swear–and a random
