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 9 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!

Here Comes Peter Cottontail….

April 7, 2014 by Fotini Filed Under: crafts, diy, Easter, Easter banner, home decor, Petter Cottontail, Spring 15 Comments

Easter is just two weeks away! In celebration, I made a darling little Peter Cottontail banner! What get’s you excited about projects you make? One of my favorite things, is creating something cute for very little money! This banner is one of those projects! I made this cutie for about $3! Join me as I share how 🙂

One of my favorite purchases I’ve made thus far in crafting is my silhouette machine. It’s amazing! I simply went to the online silhouette store, purchase the bunny design for $0.99, altered the size until I was happy with it and added some of the cute scrapbook paper from Target Dollar Spot. I had 10 done within just a couple minutes! Next, I typically use jute as my banner base. It matches all my neutral decor and I have tons of it! I work on my kitchen island, so I tape the jute into place and begin gluing the bunnies down using a heated glue gun. To finish it off, I added a single white pom pom to the tail of bunny and glued into place.

For such a simple project, a little time and a super small price tag, I was loving how it turned out! Thanks for stopping by and checking my Easter banner out! Have a great day 🙂

My Very Simple Spring Mantle

March 24, 2014 by Fotini Filed Under: home decor, pastels, Spring, Spring decor 3 Comments

Ah, Spring! I was just absolutely thrilled for Spring to finally arrive! Fresh starts, new life, blooming flowers, pretty colors and sunshine ♥ What’s not to love! A few of my watercolor pieces of art that I shared last week are the focal of the mantle. And of course, my mercury glass collection is also on display! My collection just seems to keep growing!!

I love the mix of pastels, grays and white in this very simple design. One of my favorite ways to add a little bit of color is fresh flowers! So adding some beautiful pink tulips, roses or carnations would really make this design pop!

I’m working on a few fun projects for Easter, I can’t wait to share them with you all soon! For sneak peeks, follow me on Instagram!

Spring is coming and I just couldn’t be more excited! With Spring, comes beautiful flowers and that makes me happy! One of my favorite, easy accessories to add to any space is fresh flowers! It’s the best way to add color and personality to your decor!

With that being said, I’m sharing a few of the beautiful blooms I’ve welcomed into my home this week! I have a combination of dainty white tulips and gorgeous blush roses. And the best part about these two, is I found them in the clearance section of the floral department in my local grocer.

DIY Metallic Jewelry Plate

February 24, 2014 by Fotini Filed Under: diy, gift idea, home decor, jewelry plate

If you’re like me, your jewelry ends up in a pile on your dresser, or even in my case, on top of my jewelry armoire. I have a few statement pieces that I wear just about all the time! A sweet mix of rose gold, gold and silver. I like to keep them easily accessible for when I’m getting ready quickly I can just grab them and go! I wanted a convenient place for them to rest when I wasn’t wearing them without being in the way, so after seeing a few different projects on Pinterest, I created something of my own!

I bought a plain ceramic plate from the dollar store and used my gold and silver metallic Sharpies I already had. The fun thing about this project is you can design it however you want! I decided I wanted mine to say “hello beautiful” 🙂 The fun thing about using the markers, is if you mess up, you can quickly wipe it off and try again! I completed the look by adding some polka dots! Bake your plate in a pre-heated oven at 350 for 30 minutes. Let cool completely and enjoy!

I am so pleased with how darling it is, and it’s just perfect for all my favorite pieces I wear so often! I also think this would make the perfect gift idea, especially for a bridal shower, personalizing it with her married name!
