Easy DIY Metal Truck Floral Decoration

 Hello there! If you are new to my blog, welcome. My name is Stephanie and I enjoy creating affordable fun crafts and sharing them with all of you. Today we're decorating a metal truck. I found this metal truck from my local Dollar Tree for $3. I love these simple projects.  I'd love it if you checked out my recent craft.--DOLLAR TREE GALVANIZED HANGING FLOWER DECORATION. If you're ready to start decorating, let's begin.

Applying paint to the metal truck

Begin by taking your acrylic paint and your paintbrush and applying paint to your metal truck.
I applied around four coats of paint to the metal truck.

Next, using your smaller paintbrushes, apply your second color of paint to your truck. I used a pointy paintbrush when outlining areas on the metal truck. I also added my paint just above the wheel on each side.

After, you can begin to add your paint to the wheels of your truck. I added my light cream paint in the center of each wheel and later took my black chalk paint and applied it to the rest of the wheel. I needed around four coats of paint for this as well.

Adding moss and faux floral

You are now ready to add your moss to the bed of the metal truck. I decided to add just a little hot glue before adding my moss into the bed of the truck. You could just press the moss into the bed of the truck and skip the glue part.

All that is left is to cut sections of your faux flowers and greenery. After cutting your floral to size, take each section and begin to add them inside the bed of the truck. You can use a little hot glue to keep them in place. I used just a little on each of my floral pieces.

Your floral metal truck design is complete. I love how simple this project was. Be sure to let me know if you create your very own. 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!

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...

Upcycle Your Candle Lids: Easy Steps for Fall Shelf Decor

Hello everyone! Happy Autumn! I'm excited that fall has arrived. Today I'm going to share an easy upcycled craft idea with you. We'll be creating Autumn shelf sitter decor using two candle lids. I wasn't sure what to do with my candle lids, but I decided to make fall shelf sitter decor after giving it some thought. If you're ready, let's begin building your very own.

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...
