80's Vase Update

Mother's Day Vases

 

Lemon Tree Dwelling has a cute idea for a vase for Mother's Day. This is easy enough that the kiddos can create one for grandma or even easy enough that Dad could supervise while the kiddos make one for Mom.

 

Find out more about the Mother's Day Vase.

Vintage Mason Jar Vases

 

A Mommy's Life With a Touch of Yellow created these gorgeous colored mason jar vases. I love the muted, pastel-type colors rather than the transparent colors I've been seeing everywhere.

Pottery Barn Skull Vase Knock-off

Country Chic Cottage was inspired by some spooky skull vases from Pottery Barn and decide to make her own.   They are so easy to make!   I want to do this for Halloween.

Wood Silhouette Ideas (3)

Every month, I have to check out the projects that the bloggers at Wood You Like To Craft come up with.   They are always so creative and cute!   I wish I had their talents.   This month the theme is Silhouettes and it is one of my favorites.  I just have to share.  

These jumping bunny silhouettes are so so so cute!   I'd love those on my table for the next month!  These were created by Crafty Sisters.

How cute are these wood vase silhouettes cut out from 2x4's from Under My Umbrella!!!!  Darling!

Also, these wood silhouettes of your kids' head would look great at home!   Fun idea!

Check out Wood You Like To Craft? for more great ideas.  Look through the past year for AWESOME ideas!

Love the look of mercury glass, but don't want to pay the price of buying it new?   Check out how to turn regular glass ( from the thrift store) into a high-end look with Everyday In Stilettos.

DIY Faux Textured Vases

I'm loving these textured/patterned vases at Centsational Girl.   There are so many possibilities using this technique.  You can turn boring glass/plastic into something wonderful!

See the DIY textured vases!

Candy Corn Bottles

One of my favorite things about Halloween is candy corn. They are the most adorable candy there is! The Swell Life has created a type of candy corn I've never seen before - candy corn bottles. How creative and fun for the holiday.

Tropicana Vases

Don't you love it when you come across a great idea to use your garbage as craft material? Well, Release Me Create took her old Tropicana containers and turned them into these gorgeous vases for to hold flowers and such! Love the look (and who would know they were made from something that would be going into the garbage!) Upcycling rocks!

Party Highlights!

Here are some unique and interesting ideas from the Whatever Goes Wednesday Party today!

Turn roman shades into a very interesting looking vase! The texture and lines of it are beautiful. Learn how at Bon Temps Beignet.

This gardening idea from The Dragon's Fairytail is an awesome one! She planted lettuce in a rain gutter. I think this would work for herbs too! It is even attached to her house so it looks like a flower planter. So cool!

I wish there was a lot of driftwood nearby me because I would make a driftwood planter! Learn how to make this at Craftberry Bush!

How cute are these decorative spools made from branches? Totally cute! See these at Homework: Be Inspired.

This idea for sidewalk paint is going in my summer "TO DO" file box! My kids will love this stuff and paint the whole sidewalk! Thanks Stampin' and Craftin'.

If you are LDS, you know the scripture mastery verses. Scripture Mastery are very important verses to which Christians should have quick reference. Download the stickers for each set of scripture (Old Testament, New Testament, BOM and D&C) at Ten Cow Chick!

I love chairs that have been turned into planters - like this at Taking Time To Smell The Flowers. So pretty (and that red just "pops.")

Framed Spring Vases On Chicken Wire!!!

Chicken wire is an amazing back drop for so many projects. So are empty picture frames. Don't you love these simple spring framed vases hanging on the wall at Flamingo Toes? I DO!!!!! Another great idea of Bev's!

See the Framed Spring Vases on chicken wire.

This was linked up to the WGW party! I'm still in awe of the great ideas out there!

We've all seen those cute fruit bouquets that look delicious. Living Locurto came up with the veggies bouquets to rival the ones made of fruit. This is a great idea!
