Turn Scribbles into Art

Turn Scribbles into Art

I have a little obsession with finding ways to make baby and toddler scribbles beautiful. I mean you kids spend hours and hours covering pages with crayons, markers, and paints, and of course it’s always hard to throw away their artwork. But my favorite thing is finding a way to reuse their scribbles, turning them into priceless keepsakes, or useful and meaningful gifts. One of my favorite tutorials I’ve done

Neon and Wood Floating Bead Bracelet

Neon and Wood Floating Bead Bracelet

I love the contrast of neon silk cord and natural wood beads. Neon alone can be overwhelming and look like something for an 8 year old girl, but when you pair it up with wood beads, you have a stylish and interesting accessory. What you need: 1. Silk Cord (I got a few spools of neon shades for $1 each in the trimmings section of Hobby Lobby) 2. Wooden Beads

How to Intensify your Eye Liner

How to Intensify your Eye Liner

I have a few eyeliners that I never use because they don’t work very well. Instead of getting a thick black line, I end up with a thin grayish line and I have to mark over and over. So when I saw this tip at The Beauty Department a few weeks ago, I knew I had to try it out. Basically, you hold your pencil liner in an open flame

The Fairy Tale Felt Flower

You may have noticed this felt flower featured in my scrappy flower hexagon wreath last week. Now I’m going to show you how to make them. Originally, I saw this pin on Pinterest, but I could not find any original source. So I decided to make some like them. These are a little different than the flowers in the picture. They are a little thicker and sit up a little

The Rainy Day Brown Paper Bag

The Rainy Day Brown Paper Bag

I really love raindrops and clouds. (Remember this roundup called I ♥ Raindrops?) It’s not just the shapes that I love, but I love gorgeous clouds in the sky as much as I enjoy watching the rain. Maybe it’s because I live in Florida, where we get some crazy and beautiful rain. What you need: 1. Brown paper lunch bags 2. Card stock (white, and shades of blue) 3. Glue
