Crafting, DIY and LIfe
This has definitely been the year for July 4th crafting around our house. Maybe it is because I actually paid attention to the calendar and got started when I wanted to but I have really enjoyed sharing differents ways to celebrate July 4th {like marshmallows, ribbon wreaths and wooden firecrackers} with you all.
Today’s project: a washi tape wreath for July 4th.
July 4th decorating can be so fun! You just can’t get much better than red, white and blue! I had picked up one of the little wood packages from Pick Your Plum awhile back and used them to make these July 4th mini-firecrackers for the upcoming holiday.
Pssst…be sure to read to the end because there is a giveaway for your choice of $150 to Target, Home Goods or World Market that you will definitely want to enter at the bottom!
This post originally appeared on Alderberry Hill. I wanted to be sure to share it with you as well.
Awhile back, I picked up some wood shims from Lowe’s with plans to make some makeshift pallet artwork out of them. I also grabbed one of the Valspar sample pots from the spring color line. Thankfully, I finally found the time to create my wood shim art and wanted to share it with you!
You know I love a good wreath. Wreathes were one of the first crafts I ever made and I still love making them. From yarn to ribbon to paint, I am always up for making a new wreath.
For July 4th, I decided to start with ribbon for my wreath.

Summer in my house means lots of BBQs and lots of visitors. That means LOTS of serving trays come out so I am always on the look out for some cute ones. I found some plain ones at target and dress up the serving trays with some washi tape.

Remember how we talked last week about how fast Father’s Day is approaching? Well, you’ve got just over 2 weeks before the big day hits. Are you ready?
Today, I’ve partnered with one of my awesome friends from Snap! to bring you a quick and easy project that will get you moving in the right direction for celebrating the dads in your life.
A few weeks ago, I made a spring ribbon wreath and proudly hung it on our front door. Then, Mathlete came home and asked me why I had a Christmas wreath on our door. Insert sigh followed by immediate crafting of new wreath which I will call my late spring/early summer wreath

Dads are special people. Mine {especially before I was married} was my go to for any kind of fix it related question. In my mind, he could/can build/fix/design anything I could/can envision. These days, I may go to Mathlete first but I often chat with my dad about any project too. There have definitely been many a phone call from me to him while I am standing in the middle of a Lowe’s aisle.
So, of course, a plain old gift or decoration just won’t do to recognize him on Father’s Day. Instead, I combined the gift and decoration into one
Back when school started {eons ago right?!}, our house was flooded with paperwork and I created artwork binders for each of our kids. Well, plain binders are pretty ugly and boring sitting on our a bookcases in the family room. So, I decided to turn them into fabric wrapped binders to blend in a little better while still offering the organizing I was looking for.
Kindly ignore the label still on one of them. H insisted that I leave it in there and it wasn’t a battle I was willing to fight.
Spring is finally here and we are starting to get some warmer temperatures. Of course, that means I want to start adding more and more spring decor into the house. When I started thinking about possible spring decorating ideas, I first thought of this really simple craft that can easily be reused.
