DIY Wine Tag ~

DIY Card| Inspiration

I thought I would show you a fun way to personalize your next wine gift. 

Have I told you how much I love wine? 

Yes, to infinity and beyond!

No kidding.

Here are the supplies you will need. 

I am guessing, like me, you have everything on hand.

I decided to stick to the black, white and pink theme.

Simply add the ribbon and tie onto your lovely bottle of wine.

Lovely indeed.

This is a super easy way to personalize a bottle of wine!

I am lovin' the bling...especially for a 40th Birthday Party.

Cork Board ~

DIY Project | Inspiration

I created this cork board for my recent sale, but decided to keep it for myself. The instant love connection was just too tight to let go!

Here was my inspiration photo:

from Houzz: Three Men and a Lady.

I can't seem to locate the before photo of the frame - but think dirty and gold, yes, very dirty and very gold. After I spray painted it white, I gathered some cork board and foam core I had on hand.

I simply cut the cork and foam core to size and glued them together. 

I then wrapped it in burlap and fell in love!

For the thumbtacks I glued these magnets ($2 each from Michaels) onto thumbtacks...fun and super easy!

Yep, I am lovin' it and so glad it kept it for myself!

Upcycled Bottle ~

DIY Upcycling | Inspiration

My darling hubby was sad when we ran out of one of his favorite balsamic vinegars last night, but I was delighted! As I was about to recycle the bottle, I realized...I could "upcycle" that baby! I have been working on a few bottles for an upcoming show, so I had bottles on my mind.

Here is the before:

And after a little cleaning.

Are you ready???

Amazing right? Oh, and I am lovin' that fabulous lion.

And then I pulled out a few "pieces" from my ever-growing stash. 

The options are endless.

Dressing Up a Stack of Books ~

DIY | Holiday Project Inspiration

I love books - old books, new books, stacking books. So I decided to dress up these guys for the holidays. 

I simply started with a few pieces of sheet music (yes, I still am using the 2 books I purchased from Goodwill forever ago) and a little glitter.

I rolled up the sheet music and added some glitter to the edges.

I then printed and cut out "i believe", added a bow and some jewels and placed it on my stack of books.

Super easy and quick. You could use any paper and ribbon you had on hand. 

Just a fun way to dress up a little corner of your home.

Harlequin Fun ~

DIY | Project Inspiration

I picked up this lovely at Goodwill for $4.99. I know, you are asking "why?"...but I saw the potential. 

I painted a little black. 

I sketched out harlequin pattern and added some white. 

I touched it up a bit and then added a little glaze to "antique" it a bit. 

I love it! I love the black and white harlequin next to the gold hardware. And it is a completely unique piece...ah, gotta love Goodwill (and a little paint)!
