Creating a simple farmhouse metal house decoration.

 Hi everyone! I hope that all is well. I've been having some fun creating a few simple crafts. Today I'm going to show you how to take one of the Dollar Tree metal house plaques and turn it into a cute farmhouse decoration.  We're using just a few materials, my main materials were purchased from my local Dollar Tree store. The metal house plaque and pop-up sticker pack were both purchased from Dollar Tree.  I had all of my other materials on hand.  


Watch the video tutorial



Materials 

One metal house plaque

Pop-up sticker

Paint-I'm using Antique white and brown/espresso 

One sponge brush

Twine

Scissors

Floral/greenery

Floral snips

Hot glue

Step 1: Applying acrylic paint to the house plaque

Start by taking your sponge brush, and applying your paint onto your metal house plaque. If you choose to do so, you can also apply paint to the back of your metal plaque. Allow it to fully dry.


Once dry, take your second paint, and apply it to the bottom wood stand.

Step 2: Adding the sticker design

Next, take your pop-up sticker, and add it to your metal house plaque. I decided to add a little hot glue onto the back of my sticker. 

Step 3: Adding twine 

After, take your twine, and begin to wrap it around the bottom of your metal house. First, take your twine, and tie it around the house. Once you have done this, begin to wrap your twin around, and add the desired amount of twine onto the bottom of your metal house. Using your scissors, cut off any remaining twine, and use your hot glue to glue down any of the extra twine.

Step 4: Adding floral

Begin to add your flowers, and greenery to the bottom section of your house. I used just a little hot glue and added my floral on both sides on the bottom. 


Your metal house decoration is now complete. I love how simple this was to create, and I only spent a few dollars on materials. Thank you so much for stopping by, and creating with me. I'll see you soon.

Easy Steps to Create a Cozy Autumn Tablescape at Home

Hello everyone! I’m excited that you decided to visit the blog today. I wanted to share how to create a cozy autumn tablescape at home. My goal was to design something warm and inviting, as our table is a space where we share conversations, drink coffee, tackle homework, and simply enjoy each other’s company.  I typically don’t go all out when decorating my dining table, but I wanted to show you how I styled it using decor pieces I already had. I would love for you to join me in this decorating adventure! Watch the video tutorial Create a Cozy Autumn Tablescape at Home Items I'm adding to my table:  -White tablecloth runner - Battery-operated leaf lights  - Reusing glass jars  - Mini pumpkins and other fall decorations  - Small "Hello Fall" sign  - Faux flowers I began by spreading my white tablecloth down the center of the table.

How I Refreshed an Old Garden Statue with Paint (Easy Patio DIY)

This charming toad perched on his toadstool has been a beloved part of our patio for years, enduring the passage of time while gradually succumbing to the effects of sun and weather. With each season, he has faded a little more, losing some of his vibrant colors and details. Rather than allowing him to blend into the background and become just another forgotten decoration, I decided it was time to breathe new life into him.  Watch the Video Tutorial I shared the whole process in a quick YouTube Shorts video called “Watch Me Refresh This Old Garden Statue.” It’s a simple before‑and‑after, but such a satisfying one.  Materials I Used Garden statue (mine is a toad on a toadstool) Sandpaper Acrylic paints Small detail brushes Mod Podge (for sealing and protection) Sanding and Painting I began by gently sanding the statue to smooth out the chipped and faded paint. It only takes a few minutes, but it makes such a difference. Once the surface felt ready, I brought out my a...

Three Easy Candle Jar Ideas for Cozy Porch Décor

I've always thought there was something so comforting about soft candlelight, especially when it’s paired with a few simple faux florals and greenery. Today, I’m sharing a sweet little project in which I decorated a glass jar in three different ways. Each jar has its own personality, glow, and gentle charm. These pieces are perfect for porch décor, but they work beautifully anywhere you want to add a touch of warmth. I love projects like this—simple materials, quiet moments, and a finished piece that feels peaceful and handmade. Watch the Video Tutorial Materials I Used Clear glass jar Battery‑operated candle Faux string of pearls Faux succulents Faux vine Bright pink faux flowers (tops removed from stems) Yellow faux flowers Faux foliage Optional: woven mat or tray for display Jar 1: Succulents & String of Pearls For the first jar, I wanted something earthy and calming. I placed a faux string of pearls inside the jar and let it settle naturally. Around it, I tucked in a few fa...

How to Make Easy Beaded Wine Glass Charms

 I love creating small, simple crafts that add a personal touch to gatherings, and these wine glass charms were such a fun project. They’re easy to make, customizable, and perfect for parties, holidays, or even a cozy night in with friends. Each charm slips right onto the stem of a wine glass, making it easy for everyone to keep track of their drink. These charms come together quickly using beads, wire rings, and small metal pendants. You can mix and match colors and charms to fit any theme, and each one turns out a little different — which is part of the fun. Watch the video tutorial Materials Here’s what I used to make my wine glass charms: Wire rings Beads Small metal charms Jewelry pliers If your wire rings need trimming, use wire cutters—mine didn’t, so I didn’t need them for this project.  Choose your beads and charms Pick out the colors and shapes you want to use. I chose soft pinks, purples, and clear beads, along with heart, spiral, and flower charms. Each charm desig...
