fork, wine cork & LABEL

FINALLY!
A craft!
I feel like most of my blog has become recipes, which is strange.
Anyhow, how cute & easy are these!?
I combined a few different ideas that I have seen on Pinterest & created these cuties!
What you'll need:
forks, wine corks, hemp string (or yarn, whatever tickles your fancy), hot glue gun (or super glue may work), marker (my mom is one upping me & using a wood burner to write her labels on) & some scissors of course.

Wrap & glue your string or yarn around the forks!!! Tie a cute bow & super glue wherever you would like, first step DONE!
Second, stab your wine cork... I also used a knife to make the holes a little deeper but be SUPER CAREFUL! Don't cut yourself!
Then put your glue on your holes & re insert your forks in!
write whatever you are labeling on your cork...
& you're DONE!

Now hopefully these herbs will grow! Testing my green thumb, yet again!

Mother's Day mini bouquets!

For all the special momma's in my life that I got to see & spend time with yesterday they got some cute little mini bouquets that I crafted up {with Zach & my momma}
Once they were done I realized how cute they would be for some sort of party or dinner... or anything for that matter!!!
All you need is some hot glue, burlap, ribbons, jars & some flowers!!!!
I also go these adorable clippy blackboard tags from {Michaels}to use as well!!!!!!!!!!!

plant life {succulents}

I have come to the conclusion that succulents aren't for everyone, even though it's been said they are the easiest plant to keep... & that you cannot kill them, but guess what... I killed them, A LOT of them!
I put some in really cute corks for magnets & the rest in this... & they are now all dead! 
I hope I have my grandparents & mother's green thumbs, but I am not starting off so great.
Obviously I did something wrong & I must try again because they look great... maybe fake ones will do?
yes... I need to dust...

the cheapest & easiest diy

Pinterest inspired!
Originally I REALLY needed something to organize some things in the ol kitchen!
Then I quickly changed my mind! This is only THREE DOLLARS!!!! Dollar store plate, bowl & candle stick holder, I think it would be even better painted!!!

obsessions {glass & flowers}

If I could fit everything into glass containers & make them look cute, I think I would. If I could buy all of the glassware from Goodwill, I think I would. 

obsessions {hanging ANYTHING}

This is SO simple & great looking! I have been obsessed with it since I discovered it last year {thanks to pinterest}
Grab a cute hanger from your favorite craft store & throw it up! This one is from the glorious Hobby Lobby, don't forget to use your coupons! & Fake flowers (MY FAVORITE)
I've seen a few different variations that I will have to try out!
Nightstand, re painted & distressed! It is actually a stool OR table (they argue about what it is) that my grandpa made for my grandma in their first house!

holiday decorations {belated valentine's day}

Due to my recent attempt at, "budgeting" (which I have never been very good at) diy-ing, crafting & decorating have been put on the back burning (sorta).
Thankfully, all of my closets, storage spaces, drawers, cupboards, hiding places... ext. are filled to the brim with crafting goodies!
So finding some string was super easy & a trip to the dollar store to buy some heart shaped doilies as well as some clothes pins (you can get A TON, like 40 FOR ONLY 1 DOLLAR + tax, I think)
& then I went to work...  covering every piece of my apartment with doilies.
I also attempted to wrap some around some jars with twine & some color paper hearts, I wasn't very impressed with my outcome, maybe yours will be better!
