Home & Garden

Hello Everyone! Happy September! This is Maria stopping by from Shopgirl again, and I am so excited that fall is finally on its way! As fun as the summer was, I’m ready for some cooler weather already. And even though it’s not officially fall quite yet, it is September, and in my mind, that means it’s time to start all those fall crafts. I have a fun & simple one to share with you today. I love burning candles, especially in the fall, because I love how they instantly cozy up a space, and I wanted to share one of my candle projects with you today, using a recycled old sweater. See, this is why I never throw things away… you just never know when you might need them!!! For a craft project, of course! So here’s how you can make a candle cozy for candle jars this fall:

Hello again! It’s Carmella from the Creative Carmella Blog! I am so happy to be back here at Or So She Says to share a fun and easy craft project.

I have learned that some of my favorite creative projects have been those that don’t require anything special to make. Only using what I had at home, I made a little tin can vase, perfect for a surprise gift for a friend or to spruce up a drab corner of your house.

Hello again, it’s Anne from Circus Berry. I am here this fine Tuesday to bring you some new decor for your front door. With school starting up soon all over the country (sooner in some places than others…we don’t go back until after Labor Day here in WNY), I decided to deck out my front door with some back-to-school flair. I figured I would change it up a little bit before the real fall decor goes up! This book page wreath seemed like the perfect transitional piece from summer to fall in the meantime.

Hello! This is Darleen from Darling Darleen, and I am sharing another easy letter craft project. If you’ve read some of my other posts, I have a slight obsession with monograms. I just love how they can personalize a space or make a gift more sentimental. This is a fun, easy project making a sequin monogram letter. These sequin letters can be used as a decorative object for your home or office shelf or used for wedding decorations or a bridal shower. Or any party that needs a little bling! I chose gold, but of course you can do it in any other color or metallic.

Hey there! It’s Carmella from the Creative Carmella blog and I am happy to be back here at Or So She Says with another easy craft idea for you! It’s DIY painted family name art, which is so nice to have in your home, or to make for someone else as an inexpensive, custom gift.

Today I am going to teach you a transfer trick that will have you painting these like a pro!

Hey everyone, and happy May. It’s Anne here, from Circus Berry, sharing a great DIY home decor idea with you. This geometric wall art is a little bit inspired by the Mid-Century Modern, a little bit by a pure need to use up some scraps of paper. (God forbid I actually just toss them…gasp!).
I have been a fan of the geometric fad for a little while now, using simple shapes to add flair to some home decor, create stationary, and even build an original party around. Also, I love the various types of specimen art out there and have been wanting to give it a go. So, put all of those together and you get a fairly simple, fairly inexpensive DIY project for adding some trendiness to your home decor.

Hi there! It’s Carmella and I am happy to be back and I’m excited to share this super easy spring project with you all! You only need a few things to make these pillows… and you can leave your sewing machine in the back of the closet where it’s safe from its user, {oh, wait… am I the only one scared of her sewing machine??}. That’s right, this is a no sew pillow you can whip up using a few craft supplies.
