Do you love flowers and greenery but have a black thumb? Morena from Morena’s Corner created a lovely floral wall cone to help usher spring into her home – and guess what? It requires no watering thanks to the use of a Styrofoam cone and faux flowers. The Styrofoam makes for a super lightweight “planter” that’s simple to hang on the wall. You get the look of fresh flowers for spring without the upkeep!
Cheryl from Snaps of Ginger recreated a beautifully detailed mirror from Anthropologie using only three materials for a grand total of ten dollars! Cheryl started off with a mirrored candle plate from Hobby Lobby, added some metallic gold trim with hot glue, and VOILA! You could easily use this technique to make a larger, eye-catching piece or create several small mirrors with slightly different designs to cluster together. They are so easy why not make a few???
When Ana White approached Whitney from Shanty 2 Chic about collaborating on a coffee table project, she was all in! Chunky wood frame, metal casters, weathered finish, and ample space for storage and decorating – how could she say no??? Whitney says this baby was a breeze to build, taking just a few hours. Plus, it only cost her around $100, and that’s for the wood, wheels, and all!
Lindsey from Impatiently Crafty LOVES classic schoolhouse lights but sure doesn’t want to pay $200 a piece for them. She has become a master a refurbishing old lights found on Ebay and at salvage stores for much cheaper. With a light sanding, coat of spray paint, and new wiring, they look just like the ones found at high end stores like Restoration Hardware!
