Crafting With Friends!

August 17
2 Comments

Crafting with friends is one of my favorite things to do! Not only is it a chance to get creative but to catch up with my pals!  Late summer is such a great season to craft with natural items right from the backyard.  Pine cones, leaves, and acorns are plentiful this time of year making it easy to come up with endless supplies, making it an affordable activity too! I’m excited to share some easy ideas for hosting a tiny craft party for friends or for your kiddos too!  It’s really fun to see each person put their own creativity to work.  So gather together and make something pretty with the help of Mother Nature!

“bee” happy and craft with friends..

A faux living wreath might sound strange…but  it’s a fun alternative that’s maintenance free!  Inspired by living succulent wreaths, this DIY can withstand sun, shade and zero watering.  You don’t need many supplies to make this cheerful decoration either.  And with the right faux materials it will withstand all the elements of the outdoors making it fun to hang on a garden gate, shed, or your door!  If you’re intending on giving it a garden flair…some mini yard ornaments will be a happy addition too!  Let’s get creative decorating our outdoor spaces!

DIY Art…Recycled Calendar!

April 23

DIY art projects are very popular these days especially during stay-at-home orders.  If you’re like me, I’m searching for ways to keep home life as normal as possible and that includes decorating my spaces.  And while online shopping is available, crafting is a great way to save money AND fill the hours!  I’ve been inspired by some of my social media friends who have framed old calendars to create beautiful wall art.  Fortunately I happened to save a lovely 2019 calendar that I had received as a gift from a girlfriend!  So I decided to give it a second life!   Let me share with you how simple this craft can be, and if you don’t have a calendar on hand, try kid artwork, pages from a favorite book, or even scraps of fabric or pretty craft paper!  Let’s get crafting so we can keep busy and create!

DIY art…good for the soul!

Share the easy end-of-the-rainbow surprise to your family this holiday!
