DIY-Christmas Window Silhouettes

Remember the Halloween silhouettes I made in October?! Well now I've done a Christmas window! I debated whether or not if I wanted to and I'm so glad I did. It adds so much to the outside. If you missed my Halloween one you can check it out here. The only difference was that I used red tissue paper instead of orange. I had plenty of black paper leftover from the first one and the same white crayon to draw everything out! I hope everyone has a great weekend! I will be attending the last home BYU football game and finish putting up Christmas while having Christmas Pandora on repeat!

DIY-Halloween Window Silhouettes

Here is my first Halloween craft of the season! I have more to share, but I will do a different post :) Halloween is my favorite holiday, next to Christmas!

 This craft is so inexpensive and it is so fun! It will make you the talk of the street!

So this is my window that I finished last night and I'm absolutely in love with it! I love how it turned out. If only that pole wasn't in the way!

What you will need:

-Black paper (3.99)
-Orange tissue paper (1.97)
-Tape
-Scissors
-White crayon


1. I measured my window to make sure I wasn't making the cut outs too small or too big.

2. I taped pieces of black paper together and then I drew out what I wanted with a white crayon. I didn't use stencils, but I'm sure there are some awesome things that can be traced!

3. Once I cut everything, I pieced it back together and taped it.

4. Then tape it on the window where you want.

5. Tape the tissue behind it!

There you have it!

DIY-Special Day Plate

It's been a long time since I've posted a DIY project. While my mom was here we went to a shop called Color Me Mine. A cute store where you pick out your pottery then they provide everything you would need to paint it. Our project was to make "special day plates". So basically you have a plate and when someone has a special day in the family, such as, a birthday, made a good grade on a test, or got a new job then that person gets to eat on that plate for the day! The "special days" are endless. 

Kids will love this as well! I really loved making this. I wanted mine to be festive and bright. My awesome Aunt Sue also joined us and made one as well!

My plate! 

I love my mom's polka dots and I love how my aunt's is beachy!

Throwback Thursday-DIY J.Crew Sweater

I would like to do a little throwback Thursday on the blog today. Back to a DIY sweater I made last year.

It was a sweater that was on my Christmas wish list and I ended up making it myself!

It's from J. Crew and I just think it is adorable! It is quite pricey for my wallet, but a girl can only hope. Then came the idea, I can possibly make my own. So that's what I did. I made my own "J. Crew" sweater!

Here's how to make it!

You will need:

A sweatshirt

Mod Podge

Glitter

Paint Brush of some sort

Thick paper

Pencil

1. Trace and cut half of a heart onto a magazine cover. It works better if the paper is thicker than notebook paper. Sorry Emma Watson.

2. Fold the sweatshirt in half and line up the heart on sweatshirt.

3. Trace the half with a pencil.

4. Open the sweater and finish tracing the heart.

5. With the mod podge and glitter you can make however much you want, but just do half and half. If it seemed too thick to me, I just added some more mod podge. 

6. Start filling in the lines! 

7. I did one coat and then let it dry. Once it was mostly dry I added another coat. Let it dry over night and voila! You have yourself a J. Crew heart sweater look-a-like!

Of course I paired it with my favorite boots and knee socks!

And there you have it! 

A cute new sweater!

Table Centerpiece

I'm the kind of person that always has to have something on the table. A picture frame, flowers, or a vase; anything really. I'm in that stage right now where I have no idea what to do as my centerpiece. Now when you look at this picture, you may wonder why I just don't use the flowers. Usually I'm more for a taller look to put some height to the table. 

Now this is my easy, go-to, in between stages of my table centerpieces.

It's simple, cute, and easy. It also makes a nice area for letters and papers because if I don't keep them in a stack they just end up all over the kitchen table. I found this tray at Target for $5.00! Which makes this even more perfect! It's so easy and it seems to be working out just fine as my table centerpiece.
