A Dollar Tree Farmhouse Fall jar sign project

I have been picking up some new items from Dollar Tree for decorating thank goodness,
I saw this idea from one of my favorite you-tuber Jody's Craft Room and wanted to give this project a try.

Using a Dollar Tree jar sign, I added some hot glue lines to the lid area, painted over it with gray paint. 

I did a little high lighting with a black sharpie and  a  white chalk paint pin, I saw from Tracy at Country Charm by Tracy another of my favorite you-tubers,  do this and just loved use this technique.

Added some raffia and some ribbon to the lid and a "Fall Leaves and Spices" label.

This project turned out great, I think.

Thanks for stopping by.....until the next project.

DIY Yarn Pumpkin Garland

Old string garland refreshed.

I made these string garland a couple of years ago out out orange yarn, yeah I know pretty lazy looking project but the grand-kids enjoyed the craft.

I added strips of burlap ribbon I purchase from Dollar Tree and tied the strip between the yarn pumpkins.

I feel adding the burlap strips added another dimension to the garland.  I like how this project turned out.

Thank you for stopping by,

Rustic Farmhouse Bunny Wreath

Hi friends,  Today I'm working on bunnies cut from form board then covered in black and white gingham fabric.

After watching some of my crafty You Tube favorites, I made a trip to the Dollar Tree and found this cute holiday sign for Easter.  I painted them all with white chalk paint by Waverley.

I got out my favorite fabric, black checked gingham.

Traced out the bunny shape from the fabric.

Then glued the fabric to the bunny shape.

I attached the bunnies to a willow wreath form and hung it on my coat closet in the entry.

Added a little yellow ribbon bow and a white button as a accent. This project turned out so cute, that I made another for the the other side of the closet door.

Til the next diy, thank you for stopping by and God Bless You.

Rustic Country Farmhouse Blue Jeans - Garland DIY

A Project you can do with Wore Out Blue Jeans?

Hi Friends,

Today I thought I would show you how I made this super easy project, using wore out blue jeans. It's really just a rag garland, I'm using blue jeans.

With 3 young grandson around, the pile of wore out jeans gets big!  So with all these wore out jeans, I decided to make a few quick garlands.

I cut off the legs of the jeans and cut off the outside seam and the bottom leg hem to try and make the pieces all the same size.

Then I cut 1/2" strip about 5" long for the rag garland

and measured the length of where I wanted to hang the garland on the hutch.

I used white yarn, I had on hand to the length I needed.

Then sat down with the piece of yarn and the strips of wore out jeans and started tying the strips onto the yarn with a half not.  Pretty easy it took me 30 to 45 minutes per garland,(I made one for the mantel also).

I then decided to cut a few triangles to make a couple of short banners for the vintage window I have placed around my home.

I just many, have know idea how many triangles for the blue jean pile and glued the on to a measured piece of twine, to fit onto the window frame at the entry door.

I want to thank you for stopping by

May God Bless You and Your Family,

Spring Break is here! and I have a Spring Farmhouse Project to Finish

Spring Break is Here!

During Spring Break I have a few things I would like to accomplished around the house.

• Get Spring decor out
• get laundry caught up
• vacuum the house thoroughly, lol will see!

Remember the big bag of all size plastic eggs

Painted the plastic eggs with white chalk paint, but as you can see they needed another coat

 I ended up with close to 3 dozen from that bag.

. 

I also found two cartons of easy paint Easter eggs on  clearance at Walmart for $1.00 a piece.  I've been working on getting these eggs painted for my Easter décor

The paint I used was Waverly white chalk paint with Ceramcoat - 'Moss Green' and a old bottle of Delta Ceramcoat -Copen Blue. 

I ended up painting 6-18 count egg cartons full. Now I have plenty to use around my house for my spring décor

I hope you all had a great week, So until the next project.

New Vintage looking Diy Easter Wreath for my Home

Easter Greetings

I found this very cute vintage looking greeting sign at Dollar Tree, this year and wanted to incorporated this sign into my farmhouse spring décor.

Using Dollar Tree burlap ribbon, I cut many 4-5 inch strips and tied the burlap strips with brown pipe cleaner to a circular wire wreath form.

Then I added a few strips of green mesh through out the form, also from Dollar Tree

Here I'm trying to fluff the burlap the finished project.

I really like how the vintage looking door wreath turned out.

Hope you enjoyed this easy diy to add to your Spring décor.
