🎃 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗹𝗲𝗴 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗪𝗔𝗬 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝘀… 👀✨

It’s the 𝗯𝘂𝘁𝘁𝗼𝗻 𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴! 🤍

It looks like some fancy boutique technique, but here’s the secret:

It’s literally just 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝘁𝘁𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘇𝗶𝗴𝘇𝗮𝗴. That’s it!

No special tools needed.
No complicated stitches.
No expensive supplies.

Just a needle, some twine, buttons, and a little patience. 😉 I like to mark where the buttons go with pins first so everything stays nice and even.

The rest of the project is just as easy:

🧵 Two cotton fabrics sewn into a leg shape
🧸 Stuffed nice and plump
🤍 Finished with the button lacing
🎀 Topped with a big layered-ribbon bow
🌸 Finished with a pretty faux flower

Machine sewing for the body, hand sewing for the lace, and a little hot glue for the bow -- 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁!

And the end result? 😍 It looks like something out of a cute Halloween boutique.

❄️ 𝗔 𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗿𝗮𝗳𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝟮𝟬 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲𝘀! ✂️

Turn a plain canvas drop cloth into the cutest handmade snowflake ornaments. And the best thing? Most of the supplies you probably already have at home. 🤍

So the basic idea is this:

✨ Cut 2 circles from a canvas drop cloth.
✨ Stitch a basic snowflake on one using embroidery floss and a simple running stitch.
✨ Glue the edges with Fabri-Tac, leaving a small opening.
✨ Stuff with Poly-Fil.
✨ Add a ribbon loop to hang it.
✨ Seal the opening with glue and stitch around the edge.

No need for fancy embroidery skills or complicated techniques just simple stitching and a little creativity.

Each one takes about 𝟮𝟬 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲𝘀 once you get in the groove!

🎃 𝗔 𝗛𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗻 𝗱𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗱...

I made these little Halloween pillows for our neighbors during Covid and honestly, they were one of the bright spots of that whole weird season. ❤️

We’d all gotten closer through driveway visits and porch drop offs and I wanted to make them something that just said, “I’m thinking of you”, without being, you know, weird about it. 😂

I grabbed some scraps of fabric, a bag of Poly-Fil, and some pom-pom trim. I printed a few simple shapes- a ghost, a pumpkin and a witch hat- and began hand-sewing.

The stitch? Just a simple whip stitch. Nothing special !

Tried to sew the pom pom trim on my machine first… BIG mistake. 😂 It was a disaster. I went old school and hand sewed it on. Much better!

And the best part? It cost me under $2 to make each one! 🎃

I stuffed them, sewed them up, and left them on the doorsteps. Three of my neighbors still put theirs out every October, which makes me smile every time. 🥰

Then Emily saw them and immediately wanted to make a batch for her volleyball team instead of candy this year.

So… I’m making more! 👻🎃🧙‍♀️

I put the 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹 + 𝗙𝗥𝗘𝗘 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻 up on the blog.

👇 𝗗𝗿𝗼𝗽 𝗮 🎃 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗜’𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗸!

Would you make these for your neighbors or friends or kids’ teams?

𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲... 🤭

I’ve probably purchased more blank wood signs than I should have, but I don’t regret it one bit! They’re the easiest way to make seasonal decor without buying something new every few months.

This "Happy Fall" sign is a perfect example. 🍂

It only took 𝟯𝟬 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲𝘀, some 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗮𝗽 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗰𝗸, and a handful of 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗶 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗻𝘀 to create a sign that can easily change from "𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗙𝗮𝗹𝗹" to "𝗠𝗲𝗿𝗿𝘆 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗮𝘀"... and then to whatever the next season brings!

I love budget-friendly and stash-busting projects that are also reusable ❤️

So if you’ve got craft supplies sitting around collecting dust, this is your sign (literally 😉) to pull them out and make something you will enjoy year after year.

There was a time when my daughter and I would make throw pillows for her room together all the time. Then as she got older and life got busier those little traditions just quietly slipped away.

So when she asked if we could make a new set together, it meant way more than just fabric and thread.

It meant an afternoon for the two of us, picking out bright fabrics, giggling over the cutting mat, actually making something with our hands instead of staring at our screens.

She selected each shape herself: a parallelogram, an elongated hexagon and a triangle. Vivid colors, a touch of pattern and a lot of personality. A few hours later she had a whole new set of pillows for her room.

The pillows turned out beautiful but the real treasure was not what we made.

It was reclaiming a little piece of our time together. ❤️

Sometimes the best projects aren’t about the final product – they’re about the memories stitched in every seam.

Have you brought back an old tradition with someone you love recently?

I was so sure I was about to ruin a perfectly good Dollar Tree canvas... 😂

Sure, it was only $1.25 so the stakes weren't exactly high. But I had never tried a reverse canvas project before and I was convinced it would end up in the trash.

Then I flipped the frame, painted it black, and pressed on my vinyl design with my mini heat press...

I literally gasped. 😍😍

It looked like something I'd happily buy at Hobby Lobby!

My daughter Emily saw it and immediately asked if we could make one for her dorm room. Since then, we've been designing signs together and honestly, they've become our favorite budget DIY.

We grab canvases from Dollar Tree and use HTVRONT vinyl because it presses so cleanly. And suddenly a plain dorm room starts looking cozy and intentional without spending a fortune.

The best part? You don't have to be an artistic.

If you can pull out a few staples and use a hot glue gun, you can make one too. ❤️

Have you ever tried a reverse canvas project? Or is this your sign to finally give it a try? Tell me below! 👇

✨ DIY Fabric Bow Tutorial ✨

Looking for a quick and budget-friendly craft? Here's a simple fabric bow you can make in just a few minutes!

Here's the quick version ↓

🧵 STEP 1: Grab cotton fabric (it tears the cleanest!). Trim about 1 inch from the edge, then tear the fabric all the way down the 18 inches. Those frayed edges are what give the bow its rustic charm!

📏 STEP 2: Lay each strip flat and fold it at the 2/3 mark. One side should be approximately 12 inches of fabric and the other side should be approximately 8 inches.

🎀 STEP 3: Layer your strips, alternating the tail direction—first strip with the tails on the right, the next with the tails on the left, and continue alternating. If you're using multiple fabrics, switch patterns every couple of layers for extra dimension.

🤍 STEP 4: Take another 18-inch fabric strip, wrap it tightly around the center of your stacked strips and secure it with a double knot on the back.

🌿 STEP 5: Fluff and arrange the layers, and that's it! Your rustic fabric bow is ready.

🏺 Bonus Jar Project:
Use a Dollar Tree taper candle holder and a glass jar. Apply a thin line of E6000 glue to the top of the candle holder, attach it to the bottom of the jar, flip it upside down, and let gravity help while the glue cures. Once it's dry, tie your handmade bow around the jar so you can swap it out seasonally whenever you like!

💬 If you'd like step-by-step photos, the exact fabric amounts, and my recommended glue, be sure to check out the full blog post!

I avoided painting rocks for YEARS because I thought it was “too artsy” for me. 😅

I'm the girl who probably should have failed eighth grade art. The one who still doodles stick figures when her kids ask for pictures.

But then I signed up for the Craft Lightning Challenge (because sometimes we all need a little push to try something new) and y’all…

✨ I’m SO in love with how these turned out! ✨

The funny thing is...

I literally purchased rocks from Home Depot 😂 (My grandfather, who always found rocks for free, is probably shaking his head.)

I picked up some Americana acrylic paints I already had and found the best little hack. Those tiny Dollar Tree glass candle holders make the perfect rock stands while you paint. No more fingerprints in wet paint!

Another trick that made a huge difference? Painting the black outlines first, then work outwards from the center. Somehow it made even my imperfect lines look intentional.

Each rock took about 15 minutes and honestly I went into this project hoping I would come out with one decent looking rock.

Instead...I loved them all.

Now they are scattered throughout my garden and they bring a smile to my face every time I see them. ❤️

Isn't it funny how the projects you find the most intimidating are the ones that you enjoy the most?

Have you ever thought you weren't creative enough to try a craft, only to surprise yourself? I would love to hear what it was! 👇💬

Who else loves to turn thrift store and garage sale finds into something beautiful? 💛

Years ago I bought this little wooden crate at a garage sale. It’s one of those crates that held CD’s back in the days when we all had giant music collections in our cars. It sat in my craft room for a long time until I finally decided to give it a makeover.

With a little chalk paint, some hot glue, twine and two jars it became one of my favorite pieces of kitchen counter decor. 🏡✨

It's a good reminder that the "junk" pile at a garage sale is often where the real treasures are hiding. Sometimes it just takes a little creativity to give something old a whole new purpose.

Now I want to know... 😊

What is the best thrift store or garage sale find you've been sitting on, waiting for the perfect project? Share yours in the comments, I’d love to hear them!👇💕

🧼 𝗕𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻...

I used to buy the 𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗿𝗲 matching bathroom set every time I redecorated.

Shower curtain. Trash can. Soap dispenser. Toothbrush holder. The whole thing. (Even though my Sonicare never actually fit the toothbrush holder. 😂)

Then, without fail, the soap dispenser would break.

Because water + slippery countertops = one more pretty thing headed for the trash.

And of course, you can never find a replacement. That collection is always discontinued by the time you need one, so I'd end up buying an entirely new set... again.

A few years ago, I finally stopped doing that.

Now I use durable plastic soap dispensers that 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 like glass and customize them with vinyl labels. One says 𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗢𝗔𝗣 for the bathroom, the other 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗦𝗢𝗔𝗣 for the kitchen.

They match my bronze hardware, don't shatter when they get knocked over, and I haven't had to replace them every season.

The funniest part? The longest step was choosing the fonts. 😆

From cutting the vinyl to finished took about 𝟱 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲𝘀. If I can make these (remember... I still say I should've failed art! 😂), you absolutely can too.

🧼 Drop a soap emoji in the comments if you'd like the full tutorial, and I'll share the link!
