Framed Easter Table Place Cards

Image
With Easter coming up in just a few short weeks, I wanted to share this cute and simple craft with you. I shared this last year over at City Farmhouse , but in case you missed it, or forgot about it, I thought I'd share it again here on my own blog so that you too can create these  adorable framed bunny place cards for your tables this Easter. Supplies you will need: - Printer -Scissors - 2 Pieces of coordinating scrapbook paper. - 4 X 6 picture frames - Spray paint (optional) - Alphabet stickers or glitter - Cotton Balls or pom poms To make these Easter table place cards, the first thing you will need is to print out this bunny silhouette. Right click on bunny image and 'save image as' to your computer. Set paper size to 4 X 6 and print out.  Once it is printed, cut the bunny silhouette out and trace onto a piece of decorative scrapbook paper. Now cut out the bunny you just traced. You can really have fun with different paper patterns here. I thought this vintage floral pr...

Project Fail! Picture Frame Garden Markers

Image
Sometimes great ideas come to me that turn into neat projects that I share with you, and other times great ideas come to me that turn out to be complete fails and they never get shared.   Just today, I was going through my picture files, and I came across this project that I did last spring, but never shared it with you.  This project could have been genius, but it didn't work out so great in the end. Because I still think this is a cool idea, I wanted to share it with you anyway, and maybe, just maybe, you can come up with a new solution on how it can work out better. I'll share what went wrong and the rest is up to you.  Okay, so for this project, I started out with four 3.5 X 5 picture frames from the Dollar store, and four paint stir sticks. I removed the glass and backs of the frames, and painted the frames and sticks in a white spay paint. Once the paint was dried, I hot glued the glass back into place.  I also ran the hot glue all around the edges of the glass...

Using fabric as picture mats

Image
 Today's post is about an easy project anyone can do to create a stylish look to an otherwise boring picture frame.  You may have seen this project before because I shared it a while back on City Farmhouse . But I thought I'd go ahead and re-share it today just in case you missed it. So the picture frame that I wanted to share with you today is the large one on the bottom picture ledge with the black and white buffalo check patterned photo mat.  And by the way, if you haven't seen my tutorial on how to make my picture ledges, you can read all about it HERE .  These ledges are incredibly simple and inexpensive to make, and the best part is that they allow me to move around my pictures without leaving a bunch of extra nail holes in the wall.  To give my photos a custom look, I like to add either a wrapping paper, or else like in this case, a pretty fabric to my picture frames. It is so simple to do but can totally change the whole look of my wall display. This is...

Hello! Today I'm joining an amazing group of bloggers to take part in the Blogger Stylin' Home Tours  Summer edition, hosted by The White Buffalo Styling Co . This is such an awesome group of bloggers and I hope that you will take the time to check out all of their unique and stylish homes. Today is the last day of the tour. You can start the tour  Here  or if you are already following along, then you have probably come from With Heart.   What a beautiful bedroom reveal, Jennifer is always so inspiring. Welcome to our 1924 cottage! I like to refer to our home as a beach house because to me it looks like it belongs near the beach. I decorate our home with a casual coastal look that is relaxed and easy going.  However, we live in the country nowhere near the beach, but it's fun to pretend :) Your home is what you make it, right?  I recently made this sign that is hanging in our entryway and blogged about it HERE .  It's the lyrics from one of ...
