DIY Project: Bottle Cap Pictures


I first got the idea for this craft from these Martha Stewart magnets. I decided to make a bunch of these and put them together to make a picture!

Materials-
-pictures
-16 bottle caps
-wire
-hot glue gun
-circle stencil

1. Measure16 photos with a bottle cap, then print them.

2. Use a circle shape close to the size of a bottle cap to measure then cut the circles.


3. Push the paper circles into the bottle caps and glue if needed.

4. Attach wire to the backs of the caps with hot glue.

5. Bend a wire and glue it on the back.

6. Tada!

Floral Fairytale

I love bright colors and floral patterns; they are a must have for spring! I am also very excited that all the flowers have finally come out and filled the air with sweet smells. It's like a little garden fairytale every time I go outside :).

Sweet Spring Break

I just got back from a wonderful spring break in North Carolina. The beach was great, but I got a bad sunburn! Here are some random pictures from the trip. This skirt was so perfect to bring to the beach because it could be thrown together with anything! Also, I love all the colorful houses!!!

DIY Project: Earring Organizer


I am totally in love with everything Paris, and I needed a place to put all of my stud earrings, so I combined the two to create an Eiffel Tower earring organizer.


Materials-
Black card stock
Supports (I used straws but thin wooden sticks would work as well)
Safety pin
Crystal decorations

 1. Cut the shape of the Eiffel Tower out of black card stock. 
Also cut out a small rectangle and attach to the back with tape.

 2. Attach supports to the back of the paper with either tape or glue.

 3. Use a pencil to mark where the holes will go, then punch them out with a safety pin.

4. Decorate with small crystals


5. Attach the tower to a base (optional)
and put earrings on it!

Now you have a cute way to display earrings!
