How hip is your Momma?

Is your Momma hip enough for these neon pots?

Using small pieces of tape, we made our way around the pot creating a straight line.

We painted a base coat of acrylic white paint to help make the neon pop.
Once the base coat was dry, It took a few coats of acrylic neon paint to get it lookin' faboo! 

Hip-o-pot-a-mama.

Turn your Mimosa into an adult ice cream float!  

It's as easy as it looks. 

Dessert and booze, how can you go wrong?!?! 
Brain Freeeeeeze!

Thinking outside the jar.

We found these adorable flowers around the corner and they ended up lasting forever...
until we realized they actually had dried.

Rather than keeping them inside the jar we decided to glue them to the outside! 

We only used a little bit of hot glue to hold them into place and tied up the evidence with twine. 

This would look great with lavender or any flower that dries well. 

This is great for any occasion but we're thinking Mother's Day.

Bibbidi Bobbidi Pots.

Happy May!

With Mother's Day coming up, we thought we would jazz up a typical flower pot for Mom.

We went to the little fabric store around the corner from our apartment and found these vintage looking prints for only a dollar a yard!  Holla! 

All you need are flower pots and any cute fabric.  Duh.

A paint brush and Mod Podge (matte finish). 

Oh and scissors! 

• Cut a piece of fabric that will fit around the pot with extra room to fold over the top and the bottom.   
• With a paint bush, coat a little bit of the pot with Mod Podge.  
• Stick on your fabric and once in place, coat the fabric with Mod Podge.  
• Continue doing this all the way around your pot, but don't worry about the top or bottom yet.  
• When the outside of your pot is finished, trim the fabric so that theres about an inch left on the top and bottom.
• Cut slits in the fabric around the top and bottom inch, this will avoid any puckering.
• Beginning at the top fold down the slits of fabric into the pot and coat with Mod Podge, trying to leave a smooth and flat finsih around the top of the pot.  
• Do the same for the bottom and coat any loose flaps with Mod Podge.

Mom's gonna love this.

It's best to keep your pots indoors, it'll last longer!

We're keeping this one. Sorry Mom.

You can call me Flower if you want to.

Mother's Day is around the corner...
Don't buy flowers this year, make them!

We think these are so cute and will brighten up anyone's day.

Cut 2" hearts out of felt for the petals of your flower.
Pinch the bottom tip of the heart around the end of your stick and hot glue.
Glue 3-5 heart petals on each stick, they all should different. 
Once your petals are in place, wrap the bottom of your flower pedals with floral tape.
Glue on some leaves to complete your flower.

Easy. Breezey. Beautiful. Cover-jar.

Pour a small amount of paint into a jar and rotate to evenly coat the inside.

Turn your jar upside down on wax paper and let paint drip out.
Once the excess paint is out, turn it right side up and let it dry!

Having water in your jar will ruin the paint job!
If you decide to use real flowers, be sure to sneak in a cup with water.

We think they look like Dogwood flowers.
