Create a simple farmhouse decoration using one house plaque from Dollar Tree

 Happy summer, everyone! How are you all doing? I hope all is well. I recently checked the extended weather report, and we will see warmer days for a bit. There has been a lot of rain, flooding, and hail. Other than the weather, life is good and I hope the same goes for you. Are you ready to create a simple decoration? I will share a quick decoration you can make in under ten minutes. I purchased the house plaque at my local Dollar Tree.  I knew I wanted a simple design. This design is perfect to add to any decor.

Craft materials such as floral cutters, faux floral, rub-on transfer, and house plague.

Materials


One house decoration plaque
Rub-on letter transfer
Twine
Floral
Hot glue
Scissors
Floral cutters

Adding rub-on transfer to house plaque

Rub-on transfers with house plaque on a table

Begin by taking your rub-on transfers and adding them to your house decoration. I decided to go with the farmhouse transfer. I also added two of the leaf designs. When I apply my rub-on transfers I normally use an eraser on a pencil. This is something I prefer to do and I find it useful. 

Attaching floral and twine

Next, you are now ready to add your floral and twine. I applied some hot glue when attaching my flowers to my house decoration. I had a few of my faux wildflowers on hand. I thought they would do perfectly with this design.

After, take your twine and begin to wrap the twine around the stems of your flowers. I started by wrapping the twine around once and then tying off the twine. Wrap your twine around until the bottom of your decoration is completely wrapped with the twine. I also added a little hot glue to keep my twine in place.  
That completes your simple farmhouse decoration. I love how adding just a few materials can create a simple, cozy design. This is perfect for displaying on a shelf, or adding to a tiered tray. Let me know if you create your very own.

I'll see you all 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...
