The weather is finally beginning to resemble summer…and it’s about time! However, all the rain and cool temperatures have been wonderful for all the gardens! Today we’re sharing a simple garden tag idea that is easy enough for kids to create…so it’s time to get plantin’!
In May we featured a planter that Sarah had made out of an espresso coffee can…so adorable and resourceful! It’s fun to be inspired by others…so on a shopping trip to Ikea (one of my favorite places!) a soda can became something more than tin for the recycling bin! Ikea is famous for cute and simple labeling on their products, especially food items. The minimalistic design is so great for just about any decor and particularly perfect for patios or summer entertaining! There are limitless choices for containers…Sarah had the right idea! Look at everything with an open mind and you will be amazed at what you will see…
Not many things are as cheerful as a colorful banner! They are common at celebrations and it is easy to see why…fun, whimsical and full of cheer these garlands of pennants just make us happy! Why should we wait for a party to enjoy one? How about making one to hang in your home? If you aren’t sure you want one hanging in your formal living room that’s ok…try a child’s room, family room or a patio! I really believe that if you choose the right material for your home you could probably find a spot in any room! A super easy project to do, why not try this to celebrate the summer season!
It’s the first day of spring!! However, it still feels like the dead of winter! With over a 60 degree temperature difference on the same day last year, the official arrival of spring is a tad disappointing. I thought sharing this sweet DIY project might help bring some springtime smiles to this chilly day! Sarah and I love to find cute and simple ways to add charm to seasonal decorating…this adorable garland is not only super sweet but easy to create for some springtime cheer!
What a great way to add a charming touch to any outdoor space! Find any wire basket that will hold jars, glass votives, or even simple drinking glasses. Fill them with sand or gravel and a votive. Squeeze a small bunch of flowers in the center and place moss around the bottom of the glass containers. Just make sure your flowers are high enough from the flames so you don’t start a fire! Using small S hooks and chain, suspend the basket where ever you like…simply lovely.
