Hi everyone! Today, I'm excited to share a simple and quick decorating project that's perfect as we approach Valentine's Day next month. I will decorate my heart wreath and would love for you to join me in this fun hands-on craft. Below, you'll find each step along with a complete materials list. Video tutorial Create a floral and  embellished wreath Materials needed: - One grapevine heart wreath (I'm using a 12-inch wreath) - Wire - Faux flowers and greenery - Floral cutters or wire cutters - Ribbon and embellishments (optional) Step 1: Adding the Greenery I started by adding the greenery cut to one side of the wreath.

Make sure to cut the wire long enough to pull it through the branches, loop it around the greenery, and twist it off at the back. Step 2: Adding the Floral Next, I repeated the same steps for adding the flowers. I used fl...

I'm ready to get things organized and stay on top of my daily tasks, and with this quick and easy memo board, you can do just that!

 Hello everyone! I’m excited to share my latest craft with you all. Today, we will be creating a floral winter tray using a bamboo cutting board from Dollar Tree. I often come across these bamboo cutting boards at my local Dollar Tree, and this time, I decided to pick one up. This craft is simple and budget-friendly. Join me as we make a winter floral tray using just a few materials! Video tutorial Materials One bamboo cutting board Winter faux foliage Paintbrush Hot glue Four wooden beads Acrylic paint Optional faux mini trees Begin by applying acrylic paint to the wooden cutting board. I decided to mix two colors together: white and English ivy green. Next, take four wooden beads and use hot glue to attach them to the underside of the board. I had a few extra beads from a previous project. After that, attach the faux foliage to the wooden board using hot glue. Depending on how you want to display the items on your board, arrange the foliage around the edges. This will ensure enou...
