We were challenged this month at the random acts of craftiness at His & Hers blog to use an item from a grocery store, which has a link up party in January for sharing these projects. I wanted to have quick and easy craft because this month has been quite busy. I also wanted to make something along with my toddler. I picked up this container at Target and then purchased some jello.

Wynn and I created sand art using the jello to display in her room. We are slowly but surely adding items to the top of her bookshelf. Wynn really loves to have this rainbow in her room. The total cost was around seven dollars because the Jello was on sale at two for a dollar.

I am looking forward to adding some more homemade projects to her room as she continues to grow. Thank you for stopping by!

Napkin Tree

I picked up a package of napkins on clearance at Jo-Ann's for fifty cents the other week. I had purchased a paper mache cone for around three dollars at Michaels not knowing what I would do with it. I decided to cut about four napkins into strips and then use mod podge to adhere them to the cone to make a fall tree.

I'm still trying to hang on to fall colors and Thanksgiving here instead of giving into Christmas just yet.

The total cost for this project was a little over three dollars because I did not use all the napkins in the package. I hope to find another use for the rest of the pack soon.

Thanks for stopping by.

Ice Cream Party - An Easy Decoration

I've been slowly but surely working on decorations for my daughter's ice cream party in a few months. I've always been someone who starts things early, so no need to be surprised here. This project is simple and cute, and the best part is that I only used items that I already had lying around my craft stash.

I started out with some jute twine, a styrofoam tree, and a loofah from the Dollar Tree.

I wrapped the tree with the twine to make it look like an ice cream cone.

Then I hot glued the loofah on the bottom of the tree and set it down on the top of it.

Well I thought it needed a little something like a cherry on top. I didn't have any small poms laying around, so I did the next best thing. I picked up the hair tie from my daughter laying on the table and tied it up. Then placed it on top of the loofah.

The total cost for this project was $1 because my mom gave me the tree during her craft stash clean out and the twine was leftover from another project.

I think I'll make a couple more of these for the party.

Thanks for stopping by!

Upcycled Potholder Rug

I just love this upcycled potholder rug!

Jessica Wilson used old potholders to create this one of a

kind rug. What a creative, colorful way to add

an awesome touch of handmade to your home!

Plastic Bag Stuffed Pumpkins

I found a pumpkin on Pottery Barn's website the other day that I really liked. It was around $20 for a small one, so I decided to be inspired to make something similar myself. I used materials that were leftover from other projects, and so I didn't have to spend any money on this project. Here are the materials that I used - plastic grocery bags, fabric, jute twine and some burlap.

I began by taking several grocery bags and stuffing them into one making a circular shape.

Then I cut a rectangle out of the leftover canvas fabric that I had from our mudroom project. I wrapped the fabric around the bag.

Then I took twine and wrapped it around the shape to make the indentations that a pumpkin has and it also was securing the fabric.

Finally I used some burlap to roll up and make a stem. I simply tucked it under the jute twine to secure it. I ended up making two, and I am excited that it was a quick and easy project for fall.
