Bunny Ears Treat Bags

I try to make a little something handmade every year for the kid's and this year I needed something easy. How cute are these bunny ears treat bags? All you need are, paper bags, I decided on white, color paper for the center of the ears and twine.

I found this adorable floral gift wrap paper at T.J.Maxx and thought it would be the perfect pop of color for the bunny ears. 

I made a templet so the ears would all be the same size and cute the center out of the template for the colored part of the ears. You can just flip the center template cutout over for the other side of the ear instead of making two.

I then traced the ears onto the paper bags and cut them out. Then trace the smaller center ear cutout onto your decorative paper and cut them out. Glue them to your paper bag and finish it off with twine. First fill your treat bags though....haha

Let me know if you give these a try and your kids enjoy them!

Bunny Ears Treat Bags

Nursery Design Board

I was recently asked to partake in a fun design challenge for Chairish- a fun site to buy and sell vintage furniture, décor, jewelry and accessories.  I found many furniture pieces that I just LOVED! I included a couple in my design.

 

I had 10 vintage rugs to choose from and since "baby" is all I think about right now the grey and yellow modern one jumped out at me for a nursery!! I'm 18 weeks pregnant. Grey and yellow is one of my favorite color combinations and is gender neutral. You can always add that hint of pink for a girl or a hint of blue for a boy if you wanted to. 

 

I'm not big on "themes" for a room. I like using color and patterns for a design concept. I think that if you have to look at owls or monkeys for a year or two you'll never want to see one again!! Patterns are classic and timeless. Pops of color are so easy to change when you feel you need a change!

 

I'm a vintage lover at heart but mixing modern with vintage can give a room a very comfortable and unique feel.....not like you just stepped into a catalog ready room. Don't be afraid to mix patterns. It might be a challenge at first but when you get it right you'll say, WOW:)

For example, the crib bedding- a very graphic pattern mixed with geometric or faux bois in the same color family.

 

I absolutely fell in love with the ruffled curtains; they add texture to the room and I was trying to find yellow ones with a link but no luck. Urban Outfitters has grey ones. Anthropology is another favorite of mine for curtains. 

 

Another big thing for me is the "glider". It doesn't have to be your typical ugly glider anymore. There are so many better choices out there for us moms to be! I'm IN LOVE with the wingback rocker I found online at Target and they had a couple others that I loved as well!

 

Don't be afraid to step out the box for a nursery. For an example: the changing table, I would use the blue dresser with a changing pad on top. This is a much prettier look than your typical changing table. Look at that beautiful vintage grey and white dresser! Every piece of furniture in a nursery doesn't have to match.

Fall Wreath

I'm not a big fan of the bright orange and brown Fall wreaths you see in a lot of stores this time of year and I don't think I will ever get over grape vine wreaths either! I own about six of them and still need more...hehe

 

I started out by making all the fabric flowers from scrap fabric and yellow burlap. I used YouTube to find a couple videos on how to make them and went with it.

I randomly placed the flowers along the bottom adding some yellow paper flowers from Michael's to fill in some small holes. I didn't want waste a 4" piece of burlap so I turned it into a bow and added a little grey wooden button to the center. It matched perfectly with grey fabric I used!  

 

 

Here the items I ended up using...minus the wheat on the ends.

  

 

 

 

1. yellow burlap: Hobby Lobby

2. jute twine

3. small clothes pins: Target $1 spot

4. canvas banner: Hobby Lobby

5. yellow flowers: Michael's $1.50 spot

6. button: Michael's $1.50 spot

7. metal letters: given to me 

 

 

 

 

I hot glued the metal latters to the canvas banner and trimmed them in jute as well to make them pop. Added yellow flowers at the top for a little color.

 

 

There you have it!

 

Simple and fun wreath for Fall.

Fall Wreath

Dollar Tree 4th of July Decor

I have been on a paper crafting kick lately so when I spotted these cupcake wrappers and picks at the Dollar Tree I knew I would use them for crafting and not backing!

 

 

I still need to whitewash the mirror that goes with this dresser. It looks so awful in photos:(

 

 

 

 

I made the coffee filter wreath to go with it all to help keep it toned down. The best part is all the 4th of July stuff on the wreath is temporary so I can use it year round! Love, Love! 

 

I cut the wrappers into squares and than cut slits into the middle without going all the way to the middle. You will than fold in one corner at a time into the middle until you create a pinwheel.  

 

 

Put a pin in the middle to hold it all together and I reused the picks I cut off of the flag picks to pin into the wreath with stick tack. Worked like a charm, I can just pull them out when the 4th of July is over.

 

 



 

 

I even cut down the liners and added them to doilies for another banner.  

 

 

 

Love the blue mason jar mugs from Target...scored those for a $1.48 each:)



Reused the little pieces of wrappers to go around a painted can.

I even used up the little pieces triangle from cutting the flag picks down for more mini pinwheels. I don't think I put anything into the trash on this one.

 

If you accordion fold the liners and glue two of them together you'll get that cute flower shaped paper wheel. 

 

 

Crazy how many different things I was able to make out of half a package of cupcake wrappers and picks for $1!!

Spring Easter Party

Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!

 

My boy's were thrilled when I told them we would be having an Easter party at our with all their friends.

 

I know it's all over but I'm still going to share it with all of you:) Some of it could even be used for summer parties.

 

 The "fence" looking backdrop was a bed frame I rescued from the trash!

The cake stand was thrown together using a CD container, scrap paper, pizza board and Martha Stewart trim paper. 

Cotton candy gum ball "bunny tails"

 

The "veggie garden"

 



 

The "dirt cake"

 

 

I made little treat baskets out of used tuna cans, dyed coffee filters and the handles are from paper bags. 

 

 

 

 

I gave the ferns to the mommy's at the end:) Who doesn't enjoy a pretty plant?

 

I've been a little obsessed with paper flowers lately. I made these out of coffee filters, cupcake wrappers and doilies. 

 

We did a glow in the dark egg hunt once it got dark and the kids had a blast!!
