DIY Money Lei

{We've moved! Visit us at our new and improved blog at: Texas Craft House}

Hi!! 

In the spirit of graduation I wanted to share this money lei I made for my hubby's cousin. I wasn't sure what to get him, but thought a gift card just wasn't enough. I found this money lei idea on Pinterest and used the directions from here only with less bills and papers.

Supplies:

$20 in ones

White computer paper (20 cut to bill size)

Glue dots

Ribbon

Hot glue gun

The concept behind making the pinwheels is super easy, just a little bit tedious. I followed the step by step instructions from the site and enlisted the help of a few people to fold the bills while I glued. The white pinwheels turned out great and were very sturdy with the hot glue, the bills however did not want to stay together with the glue dots, I'm not sure what medium would have been better to keep it all together. I still love how it turned out and just how happy the grad is with his lei!

Happy Crafting!!

Hi everyone!!

My sister graduated from high school last year and asked for my help to decorate her cap! She is going to school for nursing and wanted to use that theme. She came to me with a cute idea that she had found on Pinterest where a stethoscope is shaped like a heart.

Hi! I'm sharing how I did my itinerary for my Destination Wedding Welcome Bags! I found the brag books, small photo albums, at Michaels for only $1.99, with some coupons and a little bit of running around to several different Michaels stores I got 20 perfect brag books for a good price! Fun fact: The starfish on the cover of the brag book is the same kind that I had for my wedding hair clip, which I ordered here! :)

Initial door hanger wreath

{We've moved! Visit us at our new and improved blog at: Texas Craft House}

Last night my husband and I went to Main Street Days in Grapevine, Texas. We had a blast eating, sipping, listening to good music and shopping the vendor booths.

We found one booth with unfinished wood. The gentleman was selling initials, symbols, sayings, crosses, anything and everything. We bought an S for our last name for around $15. I thought this was a steal considering the size.  We also bought a Harley Davidson cut out. Not sure what I'm going to do with it yet,  but I'll have all summer to decide.

I painted my S with blue acrylic paint that I already had.  Then I hot glued a big yellow sunflower to the edge. I wanted something that would really stand out from the street and would make me think of summer. I love the contrasting blue and yellow. :-) Also like something from the usual wreath.

Have a great weekend and check back for more creativity soon!

DIY Curtain Rod Wall Decor with Hanging Frames

{We've moved! Visit us at our new and improved blog at: Texas Craft House}



I have to admit that I am the most proud of this refresh that I've done to my living room wall! I used to have floating shelves with my knick knacks on them and wasn't in love with that look anymore. I had a curtain rod left over from our move a few years ago and I didn't toss it thinking I could do something with it. I'd seen an idea of several frames hanging from a rod and wanted to figure out how to do this. I went back and forth considering ideas and shooting them down because of the sheer weight frames would have on the rod. Like I said years passed and this idea had been gnawing at me, so I started googling different strings of words to try to get more inspiration on how to accomplish my idea. I came across Rodworks.com and they literally have step-by-step directions for "fake hanging," check out the link to see! What is this you ask? Let me show you!!
