Killer Cacti Cocktail Stirrers!

Ole` May! 

Celebrate with a cheeky cactus in your cocktail!

We used: Tissue paper, card stock, shish Kebab skewers, mini wooden pots (from Michaels), scisors, glue stick, and a glue gun. 

Fold the white cardstock paper in half and cut out a pair of each cactus.  Each cactus is double sided. 

Cut small fringe strips out of tissue paper.

Starting from the bottom, layer the strips on your cactus cutout.

Trim the edges! 

Make a paper flower if you want! 

Thread the skewer through the bottom of the hole of the pot and hot glue it! 

Glue your cactus together on the skewer. Trim skewer if you need to. Skewer. 

Better watch out for those man-eating jackrabbits and that killer cacti!...Hey Duuuude!

Color me Beautiful.

Happy Earth Week!  Happy Earth Day! 

Celebrating by using as little electricity as possible (lots of candles) and crafting out of recyclables...we all have to do our part.  

Can you paint with all the colors...on some traaaaaash?

Chick in a Jar.

We can't believe Easter is here already.
We've been slacking...maybe it's because it doesn't feel like Spring yet.
Here's a quick little Easter jar using things we had around the apartment!

We've had these Quasimodo looking chicks for a while and decided to pair them with some dyed rice and glittery eggs for a cute little Easter scene.

Here's how to dye rice!

(To the tune of D*ck in a Box.)
It's a Chick in a Jar.

Pop Bunny Portraits!

Easter is hard holiday to decorate for!
You always run the fine line between Easter and a child's nursery.

We found these awesome rabbit portraits online and knew we had to use them.

We printed and cut them out! 

Then added a little Easter pop with neon paper!

We're so HOPPY about our new vintage bunnies!

When will my reflection show, who I am inside?

Floating Lucky?

Happy St. Patrick's Day, everyone!  Lets have a drink and celebrate! 

The perfect St. Patty's Day dessert...or breakfast. 

Coffee ice cream. Guinness. Enjoy! 

Drunk as an Irish Skunk. 

Teenie weenie mini clovers!

Even if you're not Irish a little green this time of year doesn't hurt at all! 

Paper clovers have been a favorite St. Patricks day decoration. They are super easy and add instant festiveness.  

This year we made them mini! 

We used a mini heart puncher a thin paint brush and craft glue to put together our clovers. 

After the clovers dried, we hot glued floral wire for long bendy stems. 

Any knick-knack is suddenly a St. Patty's Day knick-knack!

All about the green bookshelf. 

It's all about the green!

We collected everything green we had in our apartment for our bookshelf...but turned out, we didn't have as much green as we hoped.

So, we covered our books with cardstock paper for a cohesive impact. 

Don't worry...we kept it "green" by only covering what is seen!

Look behind the facade!

Check out how to make these easy paper clovers! 

Green with envy?
