Glass Mosaic Table

I started this project 6 months ago in the summer. Life got busy and forgot to buy grout so the project got pushed back. I finally had some free time so I completed the table! I love it! This will look great in our back yard in the spring and summer. I used super glue to hold the glass pieces in place and once it dried I added groat. Make sure you use a sponge and wet cloth to get the excess groat off the glass pieces. You can buy the mosaic tiles at any craft store. If you're lucky enough to live near a beach, sea glass would be a beautiful mosaic element.

Wine Cork Ornaments


All you need are wine corks, a glue gun, and a paper clip. You could also use a flat pin or jewelry wire in place of a paper clip. For a big size ornament use 10 corks for the tree and one for the trunk. A small ornament uses 6 for the tree and 1 for the trunk! So much fun :) go grab a glass of Merlot and get to crafting. Happy holidays!! 

Wedding Ornaments


I had a New Year's Eve wedding an our decorations were super festive. I loved the red and sparkles of silver and gold. When the wedding was over I saved some of the ribbon, flowers and other decorations thinking I'd do a shadow box of some sort. Instead, I found some glass ornaments at Michaels craft store for around $3 and used those to make some holiday ornaments out of the wedding decor. Super easy and sentimental! Even if your wedding isn't holiday themed you can make these ornaments and they will look lovely on your tree! 


Instructions not needed- just fill your glass ornament with whatever you chose and hang on the tree!

First Christmas

This idea is all over Pinterst and I was so excited to make one of my own. I got the glass ornaments at Micheal's craft store for $3. They ornaments come in a pack of 4. I used cherry red acrylic paint and a silver Sharpie. This would make a cute gift for the newlyweds in your life! If you're like me there are A LOT of newly married couples this year ;)

Make sure you left the extra paint drain out by turning it upside down and balancing it on top of a cup. There will be plenty of extra to drain out. You can add a decorative ribbon to the top to add festivity!

Christmas Holiday Wooden Sign

Super easy and cheap curb appeal for Christmas!

What you need:
* spray paint
* acrylic paint and paint brush
* various sized wooden boards
* drill
* medium wood screws

The directions are simple- spray paint the boards the color of your choice and let them dry. Chose what sayings and phrases you like and use acrylic paint. Let the paint dry and then use a drill to make small holes on the boards to avoid the wood splitting. Then screw in the wood screws. Ta--da!! You're all done. Now display outside to brighten up your entry way.
