This simple craft, which can be enjoyed by both kids and adults alike, will help add a little richness to the tree. If you like colour, or want to go beyond the traditional colours this year, this one's for you! For this project, I used a collection of PLAID craft paints. I love using PLAID because the paint goes on so smooth, which is especially important when painting wood. Plus, there's so many fantastic colours to choose from! To make these ornaments for your tree, gat

This project is a two part: a simple paper garland reading "HAPPY", followed by my wooden egg find at Target in which I used stickers to spell out "EASTER". I absolutely love the grain in the wood in these eggs, and find they look gorgeous just on their own. So for this time around, I decided to use stickers which are easily removable so that my wood eggs could shine again in the future. For Target lovers, I found them in the dollar spot section! I kind of wish I picked up

For a simple handmade decoration that you can use every Valentine's, make this adorable wooden conversation hearts garland! The hearts themselves are just under 3" wide. I picked them up at Michaels (the brand is ArtMinds). If you've got paints lying around, perfect! Otherwise, select a bunch of your favourite hues. The stickers are Recollections, also from Michaels. TOOLS & MATERIALS: 9 or more wood heart shapes (at 49 cents each) Craft paints Sponge brushes Recollection

I don't often bring out the paint brushes, but this project definitely called for some colour. When I decided that I wanted to add a little more colour to my Christmas decor this year, it was a no brainer to select bright paints in the shades that I love to make these letters stand out as much as possible. I selected approx. 5 1/2" high wood letters that spell out "MERRY" from Michaels. Then I purchased a bunch of Folk Art craft paints. The colours I chose are: 440 Violet

Halloween is creeping up closer and closer, and today I'd like to share another fun and kid-friendly Halloween craft with you. Today we're making these wood and paper spiders. I used my Silhouette to create the spider shape, but if you don't have a Silhouette CAMEO at home, no sweat, I've also included the PDF template of the spiders so that you can simply cut them out with scissors. TOOLS & MATERIALS: 1" round wood beads Folk Art black acrylic paint Sponge brush Silhouette

In an effort to break up some of the Valentine posts, I have a non-holiday one for you today.  However, I did need a couple of new key chain

A few weeks ago during a trip to the U.S., I stopped over at Target and picked up some Handmade Modern Acrylic Paint in corals and reds. I always had the intention of making a wood bead necklace with paint, specifically for my daughter, and I was drawn to the colours I saw there that day. Last week I finished up that project, and I thought I would show you what I did to paint the beads. They can be tricky to paint, but once you have a few things, this project is quite painle

I am super excited to share today's post because there is something pretty special about bringing in a new piece of furniture that was crafted by your own hands. The whole, look at what I did, or it's the only one of its kind, is a pretty cool feeling, as I'm sure many of you can relate to. I dreamt up the idea of a ladder to store blankets or magazines way back in the winter, but sometimes ideas get forgotten as was the case here. Then last weekend I brought it up again w

Hello friends. I have a fun project to share with you all today. I am excited about today's project because it was a first time for me and I love the way it turned out. I never worked with gold leaf before, but I've definitely thought about it. Then, when Uncommon Goods asked me to review one of their products, I fell in love with the cursive text of this "You Are Beautiful" wood sign. It was created by artist Matthew Hoffman, and it is available in two sizes: two and th
