Crafty How-To: Fabric Flower Headband with Butterfly

Tweet

Disclosure: The post is sponsored by The Blueprint Social and Plaid Crafts. Opinions and project ideas are my own. 

A few weeks ago I got to try out a new product from Mod Podge called "Mod Melts". I used it to embellish this super sweet flower. What could be better? Hair accessories and my very favorite crafting tool-- the glue gun! Keep reading to see how you can make your own "Mod Melts" embellished fabric flowers too.

Mod Melts and Molds are super easy to use. Just put the melts in your hot glue gun and fill the mold. The mold I was given to try had sweet butterflies, birds, owls, and nests. There are other mold options, you can find them exclusively at Michaels stores by late June. I think the shapes of my molds would be perfect for making presents and crafts for weddings, baby showers, or girly gifts.

Summer Tank Giveaway from Skip N' Whistle

Tweet

It's hot here. If you live in the south, you know what I mean :)

Disclosure: I received a tank top from Skip N' Whistle to review. All opinions are my own. 

Luckily, there are some super cute ways to stay cool and still look good. I recently partnered with "Skip N' Whistle"- a feel-good, lifestyle brand based out of New Orleans, LA.

Did you know I used to live right outside New Orleans? It's where my oldest daughter was born, so the fact that this company is in New Orleans and they make super cool designs--- well, we're a pretty good match :) 

Craft It: Sit Upon using a Vinyl Tablecloth

Tweet

Summer crafting in my house means involving the kiddos. With the warm weather here, we are outdoors at lot. My girls love sitting in the grass for picnics, playing games on the lawn, and enjoying a popsicle on the front yard. With all of that time in the grass, my girls needed somewhere comfy to sit.

So we revived an old craft from my days as a Girl Scout and decided to make 'sit upons'!

Kids Craft: Theodora Hat inspired by "Oz the Great and Powerful"

This a sponsored post. I was compensated for my time. All opinions and craft ideas are my own! 

Let's take an adventure to OZ!

I was recently chosen to review the movie "Oz the Great & Powerful". After watching the movie with my daughters (four times, because they loved it!) I was inspired to create something that would bring a little of the magic of OZ into our life.

Summer is Here: 11 Days of Crafting

Tweet

My daughter literally ran out of school on the last day,

 and I am not sure who was more excited-- her or me! 

I love summer.

 I love grilling out and letting the girls stay up late.

I love swimming all day and making s'mores at night. I love it all. 

So to celebrate my favorite season, 

I have teamed up with 10 other creative bloggers to bring you the best in summer projects. 

Painted Patio Furniture

Tweet

The last piece of our patio 'make-over' was to spruce up the furniture.

I like our furniture and I didn't see anything on the market that I liked any better (for a reasonable price)-- so I decided it would be best to just to paint it. We invested in a paint sprayer. Which basically turns canned paint into spray paint. It makes painting really fun! Our wooden furniture usually needs a new coat each spring anyways, but this time we decided to opt for a slate gray instead of the traditional white.
