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.
Glitter Star Cake Topper (she: Anne)
Happy June! It’s Anne from Circus Berry posting today, sharing a fun and spark-tacular DIY glitter star cake topper with you all. It is just what you need for a little bit of glam on top of your dessert and is especially great for the Fourth of July holiday. I, on the other hand, used it to dress up a special, post-dance recital treat for my daughter this past weekend. Anytime there is a good excuse to celebrate in the Circus Berry household, we do it!
I used silver glitter card stock. Change the colors to something more patriotic and you are good to go this Independence Day.

DIY Geometric Wall Art Using Paper Scraps (she: Anne)
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.
May Day Flower Tradition (she: Darleen)
Happy May Day! This is Darleen from Darling Darleen, and I am loving all the spring flower blossoms that I see around my town. My post this month is in celebration of May Day. Traditionally, May Day is celebrated on the 1st of May (which is today!), and it’s about all things spring–planting seeds, new life, dancing around the maypole and wearing flower crowns. My favorite, which most people are familiar with, is the giving of “May baskets” or small baskets of sweets and flowers, usually left anonymously on neighbors’ doorsteps. I have previously posted about the May baskets we do as a family on my blog (free printable included) that we go around and give out to neighbors and friends that need a little cheering up. It’s such a positive experience! And guess what? Shhh…we never do it on the 1st of May. Actually I give myself the entire month of May to deliver my neighbor/friends’ May flower baskets.
DIY No Sew Pillow (She: Carmella)
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.
Easter Place Setting Idea … using simple craft supplies (she: Maria)
Hi Everybody! This is Maria from Shopgirl, and I’m excited to be here again to share a fun Easterplace setting idea with you! Can you believe that Easter is just around the corner?! With as long as winter has lasted this year, it’s hard to believe that spring is finally here! I love this time of year; I love that after months of cold, dark and dreary weather (especially this year!) the world all of a sudden becomes beautifully colorful as trees turn green and flowers begin to bloom! You may already be planning your Easter menu and decor (and if not, you still have time!) and I have a fun place setting idea to share with you today! All you need are a couple of craft supplies and you have these cute little Easter egg place settings for your holiday table! Here’s what you’ll need and how you can make these…
Personalized Initial Letter Art (she: Darleen)
I love anything with a personalized touch, and you can see that in many of the jewelry pieces I design. We recently moved, and I have slowly been decorating my youngest daughter’s bedroom–making the transition from crib to bed. I have wanted to add a little something to personalize her room. Usually for wall decor in my other children’s bedrooms, I have displayed a piece of their artwork in their room. So, since my youngest daughter is at that toddler’s age and she loves to make “messy” artwork, I thought it would be a fun project to create an abstract piece together using a large canvas initial letter.
This is just your basic painting project–paint brush, acrylic paint and canvas painting board. But the one who is making the personalized initial letter art is your child.
Free, Customizable Spring Printable (she: Anne)
It is hard to believe, especially with the snow still falling, blowing, drifting, and staying in WNY, that Spring is actually here. But it is and regardless of what is out my window, I am seeing bright and cheery days ahead. I just can’t wait to get out and start my spring planting, to see the roses start to bud, and to be able to get out of the house without layers on. Inspired by the coming Spring weather (it IS coming, right?), I decided to switch out some of my usual wall art up with something a little more fitting given my anticipation.
I made these fun prints using the Janda Flower Doodles Font. For a little bit of experimentation, I printed one on kraft card stock, one on plain white card stock, and one on vellum. Then I colored each with a different medium. I admit, sometimes I am not quite sure what I want until I try some things out.
$1 Picture Frame Makeover (she: Carmella)
Hey there! I’m Creative Carmella, and it’s great to be back here with another crafty project!
Today I am sharing a simple stamping technique that will give this $1 frame a whole new life… and guess what I am using for my stamp??
Yes… that’s a toilet paper roll! I love how easy it is to get this perfect circle pattern!
For this $1 picture frame makeover you will need just a few things : Small wooden frame, {you can find these at any craft store for $1}, two colors of acrylic craft paint, and an empty toilet paper roll.
Patchwork Easter Egg Craft ~ Sooooo Easy & Cute!!
This may come as a surprise to you, as I’m usually not the one sharing craft posts, but I actually love to craft. I especially love making holiday decorations. I used to craft a lot more than I do now… now that I am a mother of many. But, every now and then, I’ll throw something together. But, it has to be quick and easy. Oh, and cute.
With that said, I needed something for my ‘pastel’ post and remembered these super easy modge-podged balls that I made way-back-when to fill a metal basket, as a Fourth of July decoration. It would be just as quick and easy to do the same thing on styrofoam eggs. And it was, my friends. So quick. So easy.
Leprechaun Hat Place Card Holder (she: Darleen)
I am one of those people who loves to celebrate each holiday to its full capacity! While I don’t go too crazy decorating for St. Patrick’s Day, I do like to wear green and make the traditional corned beef and cabbage dinner on the Irish holiday. I thought it would be fun this year to set the dinner table for our St. Patrick’s Day feast with these simple darling leprechaun hat place card holders. Add some green potted plants for centerpieces and place the leprechaun hats on the plate and you will be good to go.
