May 21, 2013 Leave a Comment

Memorial Day is next weekend, and we are planning a simple backyard BBQ with family… but for those of you who have grander plans, I’ve got some fun Red, White, and Blue DIY ideas AND recipes for you!

From BHG, a very simple idea for turning a red, white and blue crepe paper streamer into a table trim. Love it!

From Better Recipes, a yummy Red, White and Blue Dessert Pizza. (Yes, this is definitely on our family BBQ menu now!)

From the Hostess blog, check out the amazing Americana 4th of July Block party post – lots of great ideas for red, white and blue that will work just as easily for Memorial Day!

From Capital B, a ruffly patriotic wreath tutorial – perfect for Memorial Day and 4th of July!

What will you be doing for Memorial Day? We’d love to hear about it!

DIY Spring Time Wreaths

March 12, 2013 1 Comment

It’s been awhile since we had a wreath post, and I think it’s definitely time for a post on beautiful spring wreaths to make – don’t you?

First up, from TwelveOEight, a how to make a burlap wreath for spring– love how simple this is, and how shabby chic!

I’m not sure it gets much easier than the following wreath from Living Locurto. It’s a 10-minute how to make a napkin wreath tutorial, isn’t it FAB!

From Just Dip It In Chocolate, a DIY Easter Wreath with Spanish Moss – she warns that it’s messy to put together, but I love the final result:

From Piccadilly Peddlers, another shabby chic look in her DIY Spring Wreath… LOVE that chevron ribbon!

Will you be making Spring wreaths this year? We’d love to hear about it!

Easter will be here before we know it, and it’s time to start making your decor and DIY plans! (I have a birthday party to plan this month too, so I may be getting overly anxious – we do still have 20-something days to get our Easter DIY on).

Here are some fun, unique Easter DIY projects I found… some are practical, some are not, but all are Diva-licious!

First up, if you are looking for Easter wreath ideas and your a crafter, you’ll love this wreath tutorial from A Lemon Squeezy Home. I love her very detailed photos, and this looks easy to make with a lovely WOW factor:

From Polka Dot Easter Eggs, from Style At Home. These would be lovely in a centerpiece basket, especially with a variety of colors. When you click through to this post make sure you scroll to see ALL FIVE of these fab Easter egg crafts!

A very Diva idea from Stylizimo… golden Easter eggs! I love how simple this is – ugly Easter eggs with gold leaf painted on. Gorgeous!

And from BHG a very shabby chic idea for Easter egg door decor! This is only one of 25 Easter egg decorating ideas in their post – make sure you scroll through all of them!

DIY Fabulous Christmas Wreaths!

December 4, 2012 Leave a Comment

It’s that time of year… time for some DIY Christmas wreaths! I’m not sure why, but I just LOVE looking at Christmas wreaths and all the fun ways a person could make their decor just that much more special. I’ve got some great posts to share with you today, so YOU can DIY your way to a fab Xmas wreath!

From Vintage Style Files, a DIY Ornament Wreath… I know we have some vintage ornaments in our Christmas “stash”, but I’m not sure I could get away with turning them into a wreath. But wow.. I kinda want to!

From Canadian Family, a surprisingly easy way to make a GOLD wreath; so very clever *and* inexpensive!

From the Kurtz Corner, how to make a TULLE wreath. This could be done in lots of lovely colors – wouldn’t have to stick with traditional reds and greens at all!
