Switchable Rosette Headbands

 Headbands are the best; and when you make them yourself, they're even better! First- start out with a plain headband; metal or plastic (whatever works for you and is comfortable). I scored these metal ones here. Hot glue some velcro+felt (same size as the velcro on the backside). You might want a mirror handy to make sure you attach the velcro where you want it.

 Second- make your rosettes (or whatever embellishment you want). Click here for the super easy tutorial. The thing I love about these is that they don't have to be perfect ;) For these I used hot glue, but fabric glue also works very well.

 Then attach the fuzzy side of the velcro to your flowers.

 There you have it!

You can make others to change out. For these I just glued one flower slightly on top of the other one.

Here's another example of what you can do. The possibilities are endless!! Have fun :]

 Amber and I made some of these while I was visiting her.. She will have to post some pics of her variation.. hint hint ;)

Swamp Creatures

 Found this cute Halloween recipe here, but don't laugh too hard at how mine turned out nothing like theirs HA! I used cream of spinach instead of sautéed spinach and black olives instead of green. My only advice is to cook them in the muffin tin as long as it says.. I got a little impatient and I think that's why they kinda fell apart. Still cute and fun nonetheless!

{lima bean} wreath

The idea for my latest project came from my awesome sister! She spotted this step by step tutorial here. It was such a fun and inexpensive craft. I also loved to see all the other variations people used: acorns, candy corns or kidney beans. Just be careful not to burn yourself and let me know if you have any questions!

 

The best part about this wreath is that you can spray paint it any color you'd like (If you can't tell, I did mine light green and I'm planning to switch the ribbon for each holiday).

Here is Amber's take on the {lima bean} wreath.. CUTE!

 

personal {gift tags}

I know it's WAY too early to be thinking about Christmas.. or is it? Here are some gift tag ideas that you can use for gifts any time of the year. If you have 2 names in your family that start with the same letter, you could just use different colors.

Found the gift tag templates here.

 

{candy corn} pots

If you're looking for a cute, easy, inexpensive craft for Halloween.. You've come to the right place! All you need is a clay gardening pot and some paint!

cute as a {button}

These cute earrings were one of the easiest craft projects I've ever done. I got the idea from a cute boutique in Seattle.. I was this close to buying a pair for $5 and I thought, "I can totally make these!" And so can YOU!

First- You'll need some earring post pads found at your local craft store. I found these at Michael's (PS- they're ok for sensitive ears). Also grab backs too.. I personally prefer the clear ones.

 Second- Find some cute buttons in the color you want. These came in a package of 75 I believe (Lot's of earrings!!) My sister, Amber, had a pair of button earrings in the 80's.. I think that's why I bought neon colors to recreate them :P

 Third- Place a dot of hot glue on the post pad and add your button! Easy as pie! Just be careful not to burn yourself. You can give these bad boys as a present, put them on your adorable little girl or keep them for yourself ;]

welcome!

Welcome to my creative blog! I'm really excited to share some of my ideas with everyone, and I hope you will share some too!
