I’ve been searching for wooden napkin rings for months. Why wooden? Because I can customize them with paint to make them ‘mine’. Store bought ones are okay, but when I get a project in my head, nothing else will do. (I like to have my napkin rings match my tablescapes.)
This was so easy to do, and here’s how I did it:
Decorating for the holidays is always so much fun for me. It’s an easy way to redecorate without spending a small fortune. I still can’t get over how a change in a tablecloth, place mats, & a centerpiece can make the dining area look completely different. The 4th of July is a fun tablescape to do because it’s filled with bright colors & sparkle! This year, I really wanted to emphasize the color red.
The 4th of July is right around the corner, and it’s really put me in the crafting mood. I’ve been in a crafting frenzy lately. (you know it’s bad when you realize it’s 5:00 in the morning & your glue gun is still smoking) I started my frenzy with a patriotic sign that could be hung on a wall, door, or as you will eventually see, a wreath.
This frenzy started with gift cards that I got for my birthday. (everyone knows that they can never go wrong with a gift card to a craft store) I started at Joanne Fabrics, they were having a 70% off sale, and then to Michaels (they had their 4th decorations on a clearance already!)
A Terra-cotta Chime, just in time for Armed Forces Day & Memorial Day.
It’s hard to explain what triggers a creative idea for me. Something just clicks, and I’m off! This little outdoor chime was inspired by a walk through Michaels. I saw these plastic mirror stars and my mind started racing.
