Burlap Ruffle Wreath

Burlap is super hot this fall and I just can't get enough of it!

Burlap Ruffle Wreath Tutorial

Supplies:

Wreath Base

 Jute/Burlap Ribbon 

You can find this in the floral area of your local craft store.

It is sold by the 30 ft/10 yd bolt.

You will need two for this project.

 Wrap the wreath base with the burlap.

To start your ruffle.

Fold the end of the burlap like shown and glue down.

Be sure to use the low setting on your hot glue gun.

Your fingers are going to get covered in glue.

 Next just loop the burlap and fold over the middle and glue down.

 Repeat this process as you go around the wreath.

 I went around two or three times.

Until I achieved a nice full wreath.

Embellish your wreath with Hydrangeas, feathers, branches, leaves, birds nests, wheat.

What ever you like!

I made a few different variations.

 It's hard to pick a favorite!

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a great weekend!

Happy Crafting!

                  

Blissful & Domestic: Black Rosette Halloween Wall Plaque

Hello lovelies! It's Danielle from Blissful and Domestic. I am here sharing a fun new tutorial for Halloween. I love Halloween, not the scary, I am gonna pee in my pants Halloween, but the fun glittery cutesy Halloween. Beacuse of this, my decorating reflects a more fun, playful Halloween. I love to decorate my house and enjoy this holiday with my kids. One way I love to decorate is with plates. I love that you can use them all year round, depending on how you jazz them up or down. Today I am going to share how I jazzed up some plates, for my Halloween decorating on a budget.

I found two plastic plates, at Target, for about $1.00 each. They were on clearance. Oh how I love Clearance at Target. We are in love always.

I took my plates and went to the dollar section of Target's scrapbooking section. Another love of mine. I got  a pack of Glitter paper (2 sheets in the pack) for .99 cents and chipboard letters. Also for .99 cents. This worked perfectly for my two plates. 

I traced my plates on the back of my paper. This gave me a better idea of the size of the plate. I am a visual person, but quite lame when it comes to using rulers and measuring. This is my way of measuring. If you are skilled with a ruler, all the more power to you, I am just not in that boat.

I cut my square about 2 inches in from where I had traced my plate.

I hot glued it down and added some rosettes.

This plate I did for Bowdabra 

And this was one for me

Here is how they look in my home. Excuse the crooked pictures and messy coat rack, so not blog worthy. I have no clue what is up with that.

 

And there you have it. A simple project to help bring 

a little more Halloween fun into your home.

Later Gators!

Bird Houses and Flowers....

Hello Lovelies! So it has been a while since I have had a new post over here on Women Who Do It All. Well things have been a little busy, with the start of a new school year, but I am back and ready to share some craftiness with you all.

Today I have a simple room revamp to share. Over the weekend my Little Miss and I found some vinyl wall decals on clearance at Target. They were 75% off and were marked from 14.99 to $3.48. We were beyond excited. Miss Priss's walls have been lacking in the love and cuteness department lately. We snagged those decals and came home to start on her walls. This was a perfect project for my little girl to help with as well.

The vinyl decal set had little flowers, birds, and bird cages.
Too cute!

We even had enough to put them all around her room and we decorated her toy box with them.

Wondering what the toy box is? It is a re-purposed cabinet. I painted it white and laid it on its back. Perfect for holding toys.

She was so proud of all her work.

So there you have it. New cute walls for under $5
Thrifty spending at its best.

I wanted to let you know that all month long
Women Who Do It All Readers will receive 15% off in my etsy store.

Hope you all have a fabulous week
and stop by and say hi.

A {Bliss}ful Brunch

Saturday I am hosting a Brunch.
The theme is {Bliss}!
Today I am going to share some decorating tips and crafts.

Did you know a spring-form pan makes the perfect centerpiece!

The hole in the pan is just the right size to slide your umbrella through.

I picked up my pan and a thrift store for $3.00. What a deal!

I filled it with some florists foam.

I purchased some inexpensive roses 

and embellished them with rhinestones

to give them a little sparkle!

So Pretty!

I wanted to make a banner...

but, I wanted it to be a little untraditional.

 Here is how I did it:

I used Bias Tape for the "ribbon"

Printable Cotton Fabric (Ink Jet Printing by Jacquard). 

I printed the Bliss graphic onto the printable fabric 

and then used (Heat n Bond, iron on adhesive) to adhere it to the pink cotton.

And old sheet music layered behind the fabric to give it added stability and charm!

I added Lace, which I tied in between.

 It looks so pretty blowing in the wind.

 The lace was an after thought and I love the look of it.

 It really added a little sweetness to it!

One more thing!

I painted an old frame.

Removed the glass.

 Then I used an extra "panel" from the banner.

I punched a hole through the fabric and the paper.

Fed some lace through the holes

and used some tacks to anchor it down in the back.

Simple.

But so cute!

 After all that work...

I'm ready to kick back, relax and enjoy!

 Blissfully Yours,
