Quick and easy reminder board upgrade

 


Hi everyone! Today we're working on a simple reminder board upgrade. I purchased a reminder board at my local Dollar Tree for three dollars. I figured just by adding a few little details to my board it would make it my very own. 

Materials

One reminder board
Faux Succulents (I used two succulent flowers) 
One faux vine (Two or three strands)
Hot glue
Twine
Scissors
Decorative flower buttons
Floral snips

Video tutorial






Start by taking your vine, and attaching them to your reminder board. I decided to go with two vines. I added a little hot glue onto the back of each vine and glued it at the corner of my board. I did notice that the glue alone on the bottom was not holding up, so I decided to add a little more hot glue over the top of the vines as well.



Next, take your succulent flower, and attach it to the top section over the glued section of your vines. I also added a succulent flower to the bottom corner of my board.



Next, take your decorative flower buttons, and begin to glue them onto your board. I glued three on top and three on the bottom.





After, take your scissors, and cut a strand of twine. Flip your board over, and add glue onto the ends of your twine. Creating a loop, add one end to one side of your board, and the other to the next end. 
This step is optional, but take two wood blocks, add glue, and add it onto the back side of each block. Once you have done that step, add the block over the ends of your twine. If you want you can skip this step, and just add the magnetic strip that comes with the board kit. I wanted to add twine, so I went with this.


Your reminder board is now decorated, and complete. I love how simple this was, and I only added just a few decorations to my board, but I love how it turned out. The lower section of the board has a cork strip, and it is perfect for pinning notes, pictures, or adding photos! I hope you enjoyed this simple upgrade. I'll see you all soon.

    Cute little upgrade. Thanks so much for linking up at the #UnlimitedLinkParty 123. Was going to pin but for some reason it won't pin, however your other linkups pinned fine.

      Dee, thank you. I'm not sure why it won't pin. I'll look into that.

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.

Easy DIY Metal Tea Container Redesign

 Hello everyone! I hope you are all doing well. I'm excited to share a quick upcycled DIY project with you today. I will be transforming a tea container that I recently finished and reusing it to store tea bags. I wanted to give it a fresh new look. This project requires Mod Podge, paint, and other materials. Video tutorial Materials: - One tea container - Decorative tissue paper, wrapping paper, or napkin - Acrylic paint - Paintbrush - Mod Podge - Embellishments (e.g., wooden bead, hot glue)   Adding Decorative Paper and Mod Podge: For this project, I chose to use floral wrapping paper. I started by applying Mod Podge to the tin can with my paintbrush. Then, I placed the wrapping paper over the Mod Podge, working my way around the container. I used a heating tool to dry the Mod Podge as I went along. Decorating the Lid: After that, I painted the metal lid with acrylic paint, applying around three coats to achieve good coverage. I used cut-outs from the decorative wrapping pap...

Cozy Corner Kitchen Tray Styling with Mini Lamp Inspiration

Hello everyone! Join me as I style a cozy corner in my kitchen using a tray in various ways. I recently purchased a mini lamp for the kitchen and wanted to create a low-light area with some decorations. I took my wooden tray and arranged a few decorative items on it. I can't wait to share my ideas with you. Let’s work together to create a warm and inviting kitchen corner! Video tutorial I prefer to keep my tray styling simple. For my first tray design, I wanted to incorporate my pug planter. I used pink faux flowers and various types of foliage to enhance the planter. I placed the planter in one corner of the tray and arranged the foliage around it before adding the pink flowers into the planter. Additionally, I included my purple textured candle jar. To complete the design, I arranged a selection of pink faux flowers directly on the tray near the lamp. For my second cozy tray design, I decided to include a clay pot decoration filled with craft moss. This is one of my favorite desi...
