DIY Thursday

We are going to try do DIY Thursday every week. It gives you a day or two to gather supplies and have a chance to get crafty on your weekends! YAY! But please bare with us, as life is crazy sometimes and we may faulter a little, and not get one every week! Eek!... So now onto the DIYing!..
We have had over a month now to get our New Years resolutions up and going. One on our list and probably many others.... GET ORGANIZED. So in honor of this resolution and thanks again to our BFF pinterest, here is a SUPPPEERR easy idea for organization,menu, or memo board to get our week planned out!
How cute is this?!
Want one?! Well heres how:
All you need is a picture collage with 7 photos slots, some super dooper cute scrapbook paper to fit your fancy, and some days of the week stickers, vinyl, or if you were blessed with nice handwriting, use a marker and write on the scrabook paper itself. Now, get an erasable marker, and you can write right on top the glass. Once the weeks done, wipe your slate clean and start all over! you could even hot glue cordinating ribbon on to the frame and tye it around your marker, so it never has the chance to get up and walkaway :) And like always, we LOVE to hear from you are see pics if you make one for yourself!
Enjoy!

Happy Fall Ya'll

Looking for a simple but elegant table for Thanksgiving?
  Here is a great craft even the kids can help do! Gather some various size candles and pumpkins, real or fake, buy a  bags of beans in all colors,  and get out the elmers glue. Use popsicles sticks to spread the glue and attach your beans.  Easy right? You can also gather pictures of the family and prop inbetween the candles to show what you are most  thankful for. Add dried leaves to give your table a rustic feel.
How cute is this Thankful Tree?
Grab a jar and some twigs and spend some time with the kids writing on tags what you are most thankful for. Simply tye the tags on with ribbon or twine. Adorable! Perfect project to do indoors on a cold snowy/rainy Saturday.

Candy Corn Onesie!

Happy Tuesday ya'll! Halloween is literally right around the corner (crazy right?! Where did the year go?) and we thought we would do a fun little tutorial on how to make a ridiculously easy and adorable candy corn onesie! This would be a great project for big brother or sister to make for the little one in the family :) I have seen a ton of this pinned on pinterest and they are so cute and easy!

Also just a friendly reminder all of our Halloween decor is 10% off this week only! Be sure to check out our facebook and just comment "sold" under the item you want! We accept paypal, cash, and check!

So let's get started on our Tutorial!

Supplies:
1. 100% Cotton White Onesies
2. Tulip One Step Tie Die Colors in Orange and Yellow
3. Recommended are some craft gloves, a heavy duty plastic table cover or large plastic bags, and an apron or be sure to wear a old t-shirt!

How to Make:
1. Start by rinsing out your onesie in the sink, you want it to be damp not saturated, so squeeze out the excess water....this will ensure the die takes better to the fabric!

2.  Take out your Tulip One Step Dye in orange and yellow. Fill to the top with water, shake it up well to mix, and you are ready to go!

3. It's best to start with the middle orange section first. It's easier to control the dye this way and the colors bled together best.  Be sure to keep the orange line under the armpits of the shirt but don't worry too much about making it a straight line!
4. Next, you will do the bottom portion yellow, going right up to the orange section. You can even slightly overlap onto the orange if you would like. Be sure to pretty much saturate the area so that the dye goes through to the back of the onesie. This way you don't have to deal with flipping it over to do the back side!

5. Now just let the shirt sit where it is and allow the dye to sit for 4-6 hours!!

6. Wash the onesie out in the sink until the water runs clear. Be sure to wash with the white portion on the top and the water running down!! The colors will blend slightly but this is to ensure that none of the yellow or orange run on the nice white portion.

7. Now just wash it like normal BY ITSELF with a small amount of detergent and dry on normal settings!


Adorable Right?!
