Chalkboard Vases

These painted vases are so pretty and simple- enjoy!

 This chalkboard paint was at Walmart for around $8.00

I used masking tape to define the lines and removed it once dry. Try dabbing the paint on with the end of your sponge brush for best results.

Easy Pencil Case

I recently created a very easy awesome pencil case. It is so easy! For supplies you need:

One Rectangle of Felt (At any craft store, for like 20 cents)

A sewing machine

Velcro or ribbon, or nothing...

Step One: Fold the rectangle over on itself.

Step Two: Start sewing even lines, all the way to the end.

Step Three: Put a pencil in to make sure it fits. (You should probably do this earlier...)

Step Four: Fill the case with pencils and take a square of Velcro, to see where to sew it.

Then, sew one around there- or wherever it works, and one on the inside on the edge. Enjoy your new pencil case!

Old to New

I have always hated my room, and finally I repainted my hideous desk... So my room is slowly improving. I used 3 cans of paint, and it was super fun!!!

I'll try and post a pick of before, and also after everything is back to normal. You should totally try it!!

Yarn Balls

I have been seeing this little glue balls everywhere on pinterest, and I decided to give them a try.

 Make sure to let them dry for a long time, or else when you pop them, they won't work.a

 Also make sure you don't add to much water into the solution, or they will not dry hard.

So, now I have this little balls, and I'm not sure what to do with them, but they are cute!

DIY Card Headboard

My bed doesn't have a headboard, and I really wanted to make one, even if it's fake. Recently, I got a deck of cards from familysearch.com with pretty questions and colors. Naturally...:) I made a headboard out of them!

 I placed a picture in the center. If there were more cards I would have gone down a little farther, but I'll have to make do.

Gardening Gift

Have you ever struggled to figure out what to give your mom for her birthday? I know I have. This year after a while of struggle I created her gift. Easy as... cupcakes.
The picture isn't fantastic, but here's the easy steps. (Don't mind the hand...)

Supplies needed: 

4-5 Seed packets. 

jar and flower arrangement beads

paper

artificial flowers

Step 1: Fill the jar with the glass stones

Step 2: Print up a label that says "Thanks for helping me grow."

Step 3: Attach seed packets to wooden skewers, and arrange artificial flowers.

Step 4: Arrange skewers in the jar with the flowers.

And then you are done! If your mother enjoys gardening, this is an inexpensive, fun gift. Enjoy.
