Minute Mums.

Happy fall! 
This year we jumped right into decorating for Halloween, but we didn't want to "leaf" the first day of fall behind.  After all, this day is the kick off to our favorite months ahead!

We turned scrap crepe paper into festive fall mini mums! 

First we fringed the crepe paper and then rolled them up to create our mums!
We used floral wire and tape to create the stems.

Mums the word!

Jellicle Bookmarks.

This is the end result of cute dollar store cats and a new label maker!

Hello, kitty girls!

Cardboard Caddies.

Organize with some cardboard and tape!

Start the school year off fresh!

Pop Planter.

We're always looking for ways to upcycle around the apartment.
This seltzer bottle turned planter is easy and eco friendly!

We squeezed different color acrylic paint inside an empty seltzer bottle. 
To help the paint dry quickly, we cut the top of the bottle off.  
Once the paint dried we cut the bottle down to the size we wanted and added some drain holes using a nail. 
We had some spots on the bottle that paint didn't cover, so we filled them in with a paint brush!

We got our green thumbs on and planed our new succulent! 

I've given you grow lights and mineral supplements, what do you want from me, blood?

Espresso Estamp-o.

Coffee is definitely a daily ritual in our apartment.

We make all different types of coffee; Cuban espresso, drip for a percolator, cold brewed...

This easy espresso maker print is a perfect addition to our coffee lovers kitchen. 

To make the print you need to make a stamp!  We made one out of a leftover piece of styrofoam. This is a total elementary school craft, but the end product looks far from juvenile. 

Step 1-Draw or print out an image you'd like to use for your stamp.
Step 2-With a pencil trace through the image onto a piece of styrofoam. 

Step 3- Cut out the image with a blade. 
Step 4- Glue the styrofoam on a piece of cardboard to make it a sturdy stamp!

Step 5-Paint the stamp, press down firmly and repeat! 

Anyone want a café con leche? 

Sizzling Santa!

We hear Santa's enjoying his time off on a sandy beach!

Cheers Santa!

Time to start planning!
