Sun Hat Spring Wreath

April 28, 2014 by Fotini Filed Under: crafts, diy, gift, home decor, Mother's Day, Pinterest, Spring, Spring wreath, Summer wreath, wreath 10 Comments

I think it’s confirmed, I have a serious addiction to creating wreaths for my front door! I find so much enjoyment doing it and it’s a great way for me to embellish my creativity! The wreath I’m going to share with you today is a simple, yet super adorable Spring/Summer time wreath for the front door! Just in time for you to make on for yourself and for those special Mom’s in your life! These would make a great Mother’s Day gift!
I spotted a simple, straw sun hate while at Michael’s on day. I snatched it up with every intention of turning it into some sort of wreath for the door. While at Michael’s I also glanced at the faux flowers. I opted for a gorgeous, full peony bloom (two stems). Once I was home I simply popped off the heads of the flowers and glued them to the hat using my hot glue gun. I made a sweet little bow using polka- dot burlap ribbon I already had, and glue it into place as well. I took a piece of jute creating a loop and glued it to the back of the hat so it can effortlessly hang on the door hook. And that is it! Can you believe how simple this darling project is? As I suggested earlier, they would make great little gifts for Mother’s Day, and that just might be what I will be giving this year 😉
Thanks so much for stopping by and checking out this project with me!

{ DIY Housewarming Gift }

July 1, 2013 by Fotini Filed Under: craft paint, diy, DIY gift, gift, housewarming gift, Martha Stewart, wooden utensils 27 Comments

We were headed to a housewarming party over the weekend, and I wanted to come up with a  special gift to give the lucky new homeowners! While I was at Homegoods, I came across a pack of wooden utensils and snatched them up! 
Once I got home I knew exactly what I was going to do with them, so I got started! First, I got my alphabet stamps and a permanent marker and began to spell out each utensil name. I colored over each letter with permanent marker and quickly pushed onto the utensil, repeat until completed. Next, I used a small piece of painters tape to tape around the bottom of the utensil, each one at different lengths. I then grabbed my Martha Stewart metallic craft paint and began to paint the bottoms of the utensils. I put them upside down in a mason jar to dry. I coated them a good 3 to 4 times for a solid coat. Once completely dry, remove the tape.
To dress them up a bit, I bought a white dish towel, tucked them into it and wrapped a piece of twine to secure. I also included a yummy Summer Berry Cheese Pie recipe! And there you have it, a fun and simple housewarming gift! I’m going to make us a set of these because I thought they were just darling! I love the painted tips < 3
