PoTtErY bArN sTyLe UpCyClEd ChRiStMaS bUlBs!

Hey There! so I bought some cheep-y cheep Christmas bulbs at Dollar Tree and decided to modify them slightly to match my decor! They cost less than $3 to make and it took no time at all! To re-create this project you'll need any of your old Christmas bulbs or if you don't have any like me you can buy a pack of 7 for $1 at dollar tree {it doesn't matter what color they are because they will be completely covered} twine, a hot glue gun, and any ribbon to match your decor!

1.Begin with your recycled ornaments & put a dab of glue around the very top of your ornament and attach your twine.

2. Begin wrapping the twine around the ornament {making sure not to burn yourself}

3. Continue wrapping until it is completely covered and cut off the excess twine

4. Tie a bow on top to match decor & your all done!

TREE STAR {DIY..pottery barn style}

Hey There... so I searched and searched all over and couldn't seem to find the perfect tree topper to match the rest of my Christmas decor! You see, some people might be the mix and match types... but not this girl  {I'm more of the crazy, color coordinating, search for 5 hours on the Internet before I just decide to make it myself cuz nobody has the darn things kinda girl} sooooo... I went to good old dollar tree and decided with a little spray paint and an hour I could make a perfectly good one myself! & because I decided that this was so incredibly easy and cheep that i might share it will y'all! For this project you're going to need two tin stars {I got mine at dollar tree, but if I've also seen some pretty dang cute ones at my local craft store that wouldn't need painting}, a wire coat hanger, dark colored spray paint, jute or twine, and hot glue gun!

1. take your wire hanger and pliers and bend into a cone shaped circle pattern with about an inch peek at the top.

2. lay the hanger and both stars face up on wax paper and spray paint, make sure the hanger gets rotated and receives several coats of paint to ensure that its all covered.

3. when dry run your glue gun around the perimeter of the inside of the star and an inch up from the bottom to secure the hanger inside the star shape and then place the two sides together.

4. After it has completely cooled down place a dot of hot glue at the top point of the star and secure the twine.

5. Continue wrapping the twine around the star, making sure to secure it with glue every so often { don't burn yourself!!! I got myself good quite a few times, I feel like I don't have any finger tips left ha ha}

6. Once all areas have been covered and no more paint is showing tie a not in the back of your star to secure and your all done!

ENJOY YOUR NEW POTTERY BARN STYLE STAR.... THE BEST PART IS THAT IT WAS ONLY $2 !!! HAPPY TREE DECORATING!

FrOsTeD PuMpKiNs

Hey There!...Today I'm gonna give y'all a quick little tutorial on how to create these fun little guys for less than 3 dollars! Awesome huh... well first your going to need to start off with come clear candle votive ( I got these little babies at the good ol dollar tree) some orange spray paint, some frosted clear spray paint (I find that Krylon goes on the smoothest but you can use what ever kind you have at home as well.) some painters tape and black vinyl scraps, and of course your t- light candles.

 1. Tape of the outside edge of the glass jars and spray paint the inside of them with your orange spray paint. mine took several coats of paint so it might take a bit to get them all evenly covered.

2. After the glasses have dried overnight set them upside-down over a dixie cup so you can reach all angles of the jars and cover the outside of the jars with your frosted spray paint.

3. Once the outside of the jars are dry add your little vinyl faces, I cut mine with a cricut machine but u can definitely do this by hand I'm sure ! 

4. Add your candles and there you have it cute little FROSTED PUMPKINS for CHEEP CHEEP CHEEP!

'BOO'tiful MUMMY BARS !!

HEY There! These are some DANG cute google eye'd mummies and GUESS WHAT...Im gonna show you how to make um! They're cheep, fast & make awesome little HALLOWEEN TREATS ! 

1. All you need is a 10x7 inch piece of Kraft card stock, a giant candy bar of your choice ( I do love me a good cookies n' cream bar) googly eyes - I picked mine up at Dollar Tree, and sticky gauze - also from Dollar Tree, scissors and any type of adhesive. 

2. First you are going to wrap the cardstock arond the bar & adhear. 
3. Next you need to give your google eye'd little friend some peepers. 
4. Then your going to adhear the guaze to the back of your little guy and continue wrapping around the bar making sure not to cover the eyes... the awesome thing about this guaze is that its self adheasive but also really goof proof (and i need all the help i can get) so if you need to unwind at any point you can! 
5. And finally adhere the guaze around the bottom to insure that your new yummy friend doesnt come unraveled. There you have it, a 'BOO'tiful candybar =D
