A Pinterest Party: DIY Clay Bowls

no Comments

As I was scrolling Pinterest one day, this project caught my eye. I had never worked with clay (in my adult life anyways) and since I love to try new crafts, this seemed perfect for a Pinterest Party. DIY clay bowls are beginner friendly, don't use many supplies, and are inexpensive to make. What's not to like?! Two packs of clay made 7-8 small circular and oblong bowls. Obviously, the size of your pieces will determine how many you can make. This would be a great craft to make a few extras for birthday and hostess gifts - just stash…

A Pinterest Party: DIY Pom Pom Wreaths

no Comments

My first Pinterest Party of 2021 is in the books! Last month a few friends and I got together to make DIY Pom Pom wreaths and they came out soooooo cute. I actually saw this idea on Instagram and thought it would be a super easy project for a crowd. And although it was easy, I completely underestimated how long it would take. But more on that in a minute. This is a beginner level craft that takes very little supplies - just 4 items! And if you aren't making one at a Pinterest Party, this is great craft to…

DIY Marbled Resin Coasters

one Comments

December is always a busy month in our house, no only because of the extra holiday activities that are usually present, but also, I typically decide I want to make allll the homemade gifts for family and friends that I've been thinking about all year long and still haven't started. After making my annual personalized ornaments that I shared last week, I couldn't help myself but to try a few other resin projects while I had my supplies out. I've known I wanted to make a few sets of resin coasters as holiday gifts since hosting my resin coaster Pinterest…

DIY Resin Ornaments & Gift Tags

one Comments

Its that time of year to deck the halls and one tradition I have is to make personalized ornaments for the members of my husband's and my family. This is my 6th year to make custom ornaments and each year the list of names gets a little longer ;). As part of my tradition, I attach the ornament to each person's gift to serve as a gift tag, hence why they have the first initial of everyone's name, then the recipient can keep it as an ornament for years to come. I knew I wanted to create something with resin…

DIY Mosaic Side Tables

no Comments

A few weeks ago, I shared these DIY mosaic planters from my last Pinterest Party and mentioned there was another craft we created the same night. Well, here it is! Along with mosaic planters, I also sourced materials to make mosaic side tables that turned out equally as cute as the planters. These projects are great because they are completely customizable to the colors and patterns each person likes, that will fit the style of their own home. Again, the idea for this craft was taken from my Better Homes and Gardens June Magazine. We used the directions in the…

A Pinterest Party: DIY Mosaic Planters

no Comments

Happy Fall ya'll! The weather has finally started to change here in Austin, and we are enjoying the below sweltering temperatures. Last weekend, I had the pleasure of hosting another Pinterest Party, so today I'm sharing the process for making these simple mosaic planters. For anyone who's new here, I host craft nights, which I call Pinterest Parties, about every other month or so (when there aren't global pandemics going on) to spend time with friends and be able to use my creativity. I choose the craft and source the materials, then my friends come over and complete the craft…

DIY Macrame Bow Organizer

4 Comments

Hey Ya'll! Whose daughter has a plethora of bows and hair accessories with no great place to store and/or display them? I'm not the only one am I?! Then this post is for you! I DIYed a simple macrame piece that my daughter can clip her hair bows to so she can easily see what she has and pick the *right* one. Previously, we stored her bows and hair ties in an open wooden box, but it was constantly being dumped on the floor during the process of finding the perfect accessory. As you can imagine, this got very old,…

A Pinterest Party: Alcohol Ink Art

no Comments

Recently, I had a few friends over for my second Pinterest Party of the year. Typically, I have 4-5 parties spaced throughout the year but the recent events in the world put a pause on many types of gatherings and so lately I've been itching to do a craft night with friends. The last party I hosted was waayyyyy back in February (which seems like a lifetime ago at this point) when we made resin coasters and didn't know the coronavirus even existed. So last week, I, and a few friends, felt comfortable with a small gathering and got together…

Kate’s ONE Party Animal

no Comments

A couple weeks ago, before all this coronavirus stuff started happening, we celebrated our youngest child turning ONE! We celebrated in Dallas, at my parent's house, so some of the grandparents, aunts and uncles, and cousins could celebrate with us. Kate is a very happy baby and is always in the mood to hang out with others (as long as her mother (me) is within a 2 foot radius at all times) so I thought "Party Animals" would be a fun theme. So, I'm sharing how I put together the decorations and food for a fun party. Decor When planning…
