A few snippets of what I want to try out.

I found these the other day and thought I'd share it with you all, I'll be doing some myself soon...all I need is the materials and I'll be heading out right now to get them.  I'm happy and I need to start using the rest of my craft supplies because it's starting to get real stuffy in that storage room of ours! :-)  So, the more crafts to gift and decorate, the merrier!!!

I love burlap!

I found this last night as I was looking for inspiration for our lovely YW at church. I thought it'd be a very unique project and very inexpensive too, if you know where to look, of course. SO, I will will share it with you all too.

I was able to find it on Under My Umbrella blog. It is super cute and I'm even thinking of making it for our home too with words of love and encouragement for a peaceful home :)

Enjoy!

Make a tutu!!!

OH, if only I had a little girl! I would make a dozen of these just so she can feel fun and pretty!!!  Here is a picture of a NO-SEW do-it-youself (diy) tutu!  You can click on the image above or the link below to see the tutorial!

These are also so cute for children's pictures!!  They add texture and contrast, depending on the colors...they can add a nice splash of magic to a sweet little girl that time can never take away.  Adding texture to photos is so critical when working with people because it gives a sense of almost real life to them.  When you add texture by clothing, backgrounds, or props, then viewers are more intrigued and caught quite off guard since the eye tends to explore things with more detail :-)  Not to mention they just look pretty!

Beautiful Spring decor!

I've been quickly looking for some spring decor inspiration while the little one sleeps and I found these beautiful DYIers!!! I LOVE them all!  Now, to make time for the materials is another story, but well worth making it happen.  You can also find more ideas from my Home Decoration/Inspiration  list of websites on my "Sites I love" page.

DIY Fabric Flowers

Here some tutorials for making your very own fabric flowers.  Don't forget to add your own flair and not limit yourself to using only the material being mentioned.  Be creative and first visualize what you want the end result to be.  I've made most of these myself already and still want to try the rest.  You do have to use felt for most to fimly attach them to clips and make them have stronger bases that won't fall off.  It is addicting and beautiful too!  They can worn to adorn the hair, shoulder of a dress, near the opening of a cardigan, on a clutch or purse, hats, beanies, headbands, and even a thin belt...you name it!!!!!  I love flower clips and I know you will too!  The best part, you can make as BIG or small as you want.

I recommend making the outer layer smaller, but stuff like this makes me wish for a baby girl in the house....I can dream right?

This cute one is from V and Co.  You can definitely add more and make them all different sizes!

These are all from Martha Stewart. The top rose and lower peony flower templates can be found here.  The middle dahlia flower template can he found here.

Easy flower pin from rnl musings.

This one is one, from Design Sponge, I love to make and mainly use solid colors from satin material and tulle, but patterns are okay too.  I actually learned while watching the news one early morning and a fashionista came in for some tips and quick DIYs.  The early bird does get the worm!
