Flower Petal Window Art

flower petalsThis project is a really neat idea, especially since spring is right around the corner (we can only hope). I found this fun project on The Artful Parent today. All you do is lay out flower petals on contact paper and stick it to a glass window. It looks fantastic! Go check it out on that blog for more images though. It could be a great project to do with your kids, if they have the patience. Read the whole post

DIY Fall-Inspired Wreath

DIY Fall-Inspired Wreath

I felt festive today, so I made a fall-inspired wreath. It doesn’t take long to make (maybe half an hour) and it is nice home decor.

Supposedly, when the candle glass around the candle heats up, the smell of cinnamon permeates the room. Read the whole post

Maybe all of the snow is getting to me… Anyway, all of this inspired me to make this fall-inspired votive holder. Read the whole post
