My friend Sheryl created today’s project.  She’s super crafty and hopefully she’ll share again!  Paint Pouring is a painting technique of pouring multiple acrylic paints onto canvas, pottery, glass, or other desired surface, leaving a fascinating marbleized effect. My first project was on canvas, which turned out beautifully, and I was hooked!  Next, I poured paints onto an overturned terra…

This project was a near miss that skated dangerously close to a major fail.  For the last few months, I’ve been looking for pieces to decorate a corner in my bedroom.  Recently, I browsed through a very high end decor store.  I saw the most unique wall art that was rustic and interesting.  Then I glanced at the price tag…

In honor of the freezing winter we are currently trapped in,  I decided to capitalize on the cold temperatures to make a really cool winter project.  Winter is perfect for candlelight.  I think candlelight is soothing and gives everything a beautiful, warm glow.  This winter’s weather is perfect for making DIY Ice Globes.  I love using ice globes in he…

I love Christmas but I’m getting to the point in the season that if it isn’t easy, I’m not interested.  Thus, Easy Christmas Trees are my jam.  I love an elegant Christmas dinner centerpiece, but I don’t love the hefty price tag.  So with my dad as my construction coach, we made unique Christmas trees decor from Plaster of Paris.…
