Banded Bookmarks

June 11, 2015 By Emily Gammon 2 Comments

Banded Bookmark

Awhile ago I saw a pin on Pinterest for how to make your own fabric bookmarks using every day items like buttons and hair ties and scraps of cloth.  I should have pinned it. I didn’t. I thought about it this morning as I went to put my book down and decided to make up my own design.  It’s easy, fun, and limited only to your imagination!  Think quick DIY gift idea or easy craft with youngsters or for book lovers… Birthday party craft…  Rainy day project…  You get the idea!

Easy DIY Frozen MarblesI finally got around to writing this post about giant DIY winter marbles. They were a lot of fun to make! And the most affordable project I’ve created in a while. The biggest tip I can offer is to “hold on to your marbles!” We accidentally let go of one and red water went flying all over the kitchen. Haha, it’s a fun and quick project to do with the children though and they look so nice outside against the white snow.

These are really easy to make:

Knitting Wreath

Knitting isn’t a lost art.  If you know someone who loves knitting, we have a great diy project for you.  This is a great Christmas gift idea for the knitters in your life or you can show everyone you love knitting by hanging this wreath on your front door!  If my sister and I didn’t share this blog, I would make it for her as a surprise, but since we share everything and she is the one with all the yarn… well, here you go, Emily!  When I first saw it, I thought it was complex and you needed lots and lots of yarn. But when I delved in to it a little deeper, I noticed the Styrofoam balls. Piece of cake!

DIY Falling Leaves Glitter Garland

Leaf Glitter Garland

Falling Leaves Glitter Garland

This Falling Leaves Glitter Garland helps me hang on to the beautiful leaves of autumn! A couple weeks ago we posted about Nicole Duke’s Easy and Free DIY Fall Leaf Roses. This weekend I found another EASY and inexpensive DIY project for those leaves all over the ground that can accent your home and make a great fall or Thanksgiving decoration. I picture them shimmering around a room during a late evening party.

Being a perfect project for any age, I encourage you to grab the kids and make a day of garland making.  And who doesn’t love raking up some leaves, throwing them up in the air, and jumping in huge piles of them?  Here’s another way to stretch out your fall fun or make a souvenir of a perfect fall afternoon!

Extremely easy, cheap to make, and a way to preserve the leaves…

Fall DIY Lost Button Frame Project

October 23, 2014 By Christina Gammon Leave a Comment

Lost Button CraftFlipping through a magazine, I came across this Lost Button Craft Frame project.  Our family has the market on loose random buttons! My grandmother had tins of buttons she had collected through the years and this was passed on to my mother. I’m sure Emily has a bunch too. (Emily chiming in here: I have Gram’s buttons and some of Mom’s now as well!)  I admit, in my new home, I’ve started a little box of buttons myself.

We save and save, afraid to throw them out because we know one day we will need one for a pair of pants, that jacket or shirt that popped its button… but realistically, we will never use all of our buttons… well, not until now.   Check out this super easy, super cool Lost Button Craft Frame!
