Steph Creates -DIY Home And Crafts

Hello, and welcome to my blogging space! I'm excited about the warmer weather that we are being told we will experience next week. This will be nice since it has been low temps and snowy weather. I've been creating a few Spring crafts, and this DIY project was a fun one. I created a Spring decorative wood book stack, and I'll admit it did not take much time to create, and my material list was simple. If you're ready, let's begin creating your very own wooden stacked books.  Check out the video tutorial Start with taking your wooden crate, and craft paper.

  Hello everyone! I wanted to create something simple, but also beautiful. I love how this turned out, and it takes just a few materials.  We're creating a  beautiful succulent, vine display. For this project, we are using a ceramic warmer. I decided this would be perfect to use to display the beautiful succulent, and vines.  **Note** --The ceramic warmer is only being used as the main design piece, we are not using it to warm anything.  The candle is battery-operated and is being used as the main design element.
