Happy Fourth of July!

Fourth of July themed post!!!

I love to knit and what do I have an abundance of'?  YARN! This wreath project is super simple but some what time consuming.  

 

What you need:

Straw Wreath

Yarn (Red, White, and Blue)

Buttons

Hot Glue Gun

Glue Sticks

Suggestions:

I chose to use the straw wreath because it is much less expensive than the foam rings.  If you really want to use foam, I suggest you head to your local hardware store and purchase foam plumbing pipe insulation to making that into a ring with tape or glue.  This will still be less expensive!  

I chose to go with the round white buttons of variable sizes but you can get creative and even make your own stars.

Lace Earing Holder and Rake Necklace Holder

After my Hairdryer/Straightener Holder Project I really wanted to get my jewelery out and accessible!  I found a super cute way of doing so! My project ended up turning my bathroom into a rustic theme!  I love it but I feel bad for Josh, my fiance.  I have pretty much taken over the bathroom but I love it!

Lace Earing Holder

What you will need:

Embroidery Ring

Yard of your favorite lace design

Suction cup hanger

Antiques rake heads

Be careful to not over stretch your lace!

Wrapped Wine Bottle Vases

Empty Wine Bottles?  In need of a inexpensive table centerpiece?  Wrapped Wine Bottle Vases are great! This is a really simple project and fairly inexpensive if you are a Wino like me.  

What you need:

Spool of Twine

Empty Wine Bottle

Hot Glue Gun

Glue Sticks

Flowers

I suggest hot gluing the bottom on first and then small pieces every so often.  This will help when you get to the curves of the bottles.

Hairdryer/Straightener Holder

Wanting a way to make your bathroom look a little more organized while still being realistic about your daily routine?  This hair dryer/straightener holder is functional and inexpensive!

What you need:

4-in Dia. 45-Degree PVC Sewer Drain Sewer Wye

Spray Paint for Plastics

I suggest getting some sandpaper as well to roughen the plastic surface to help the paint stick.  

To add some flair, I knitted a piece to wrap around the bottom and tied a silk scarf around the top.  Feel free to get creative and add your own flair!

I don't know about you but I hate putting away my hairdryer and/or straighter everyday when i am just going to get them back out tomorrow. Its likes like making your bed everyday...

who does that ?!?! :P

Rock Mat Project

We just moved into our new apartment and our front door was looking a little bear. I really wanted a mat with a "W" since both mine and my fiance's last names start with "W"s.  This project definitely was time consuming and GLUE consuming.  Check it out and tell me what you think!

What you will need:

Stones

Hot Glue Gun

Lots of Glue Sticks

Shelf Liner

Recommendations:

The hot glue will go through the shelf liner so I suggest some sort of sturdy backing material for underneath the shelf liner.   A sturdy back will also help when you are trying to move the mat. 

If you are wanting a design or monogram, I suggest setting out the design prior to starting to glue.  As you start gluing your design may shift a little.
