I’ve wanted to make a Harvest Angel for a long time. Now that October is here, it seemed like the right time to do it. This is a step by step tutorial of how I made her.
I’ll forewarn you, this is a long one because it’s loaded with pictures.
The first time I’d heard of solar chandeliers was on Pinterest. I fell in love with the idea of taking an old, out of date chandelier & turning it into something that can be used outside. I went on a search for an old chandelier. Then one day, while I was at Goodwill, I found one for only $6.45! It’s been sitting & waiting for me to make it into something beautiful. The wait is over, and I love it!
I’m still working on changing up the bathroom from turquoise accents to silver & white. I love the way the towels turned out. (to see how I did them, go here)
The next project was a new shower curtain. I made this for $4.00 instead of the $15.00 to $20.00 that the stores wanted.
(Please forgive some of the photos. My camera is starting to go)
A while back, a friend of mine gave me a bag of empty Crystal Light containers. I had a rough idea of what I wanted to do with them, but when the inspiration hit me, I surprised even myself.
I created a Craft Caddy!
I’m always looking for new ways to add color to my centerpieces. One of the ways to add color, inexpensively, is to add feathers. They not only add color, but they add movement to a piece. They also make a nice addition to flowers as a filler. By putting feathers together into a spray, you can add height to them. Feather sprays are easy to make, and can be used in most centerpieces. I’ll show you how:
I’ve been on a new kick lately (so what else is new?) It all started with watching entirely too much YouTube. On my latest shopping haul, I showed you some packages of Butterfly filigree that I got at Walmart. You can find that here. Well, this is what I did with them:
Painting on clothing is easier than you might think. I do it all the time for many reasons. During December, we are allowed to wear holiday or winter themed clothing instead of the usual uniforms, so I make my own. I also give them out as gifts, not only for the holiday season, but for birthdays, special occasions or just to give as a very unique present. The very first one that I did was to cover a paint stain that I’d gotten on a favorite colored shirt that was almost brand new. People tell me that they could never do what I do, and I tell them, “Yes! You Can!” This is my little Snowman Shirt, and I’ll show you how I made him in 10 easy steps!

In my Holly Jolly Tablescape, I used a Holly Centerpiece. It was very inexpensive & easy to make. This is how I made the Holly Centerpiece.
I can not express the honor I feel to be in the spotlight at The Dedicated House. (Especially since my site is only 9 months young.) They have chosen my Copper Fall Wreath to be in their ‘Before and After Wednesday’. Please hop on over to their site to read the entire article. Thank you so much, Kathryn.
Happy Creating everyone!
I thought I’d show you how easy it is to make napkin rings with a theme. I’m doing apples this week for my Thursday Tablescape, so it’s only natural for me to have some apple napkin rings to go with it.
They were so easy to make, and they are so unique and very inexpensive. Here’s how I made them.
