Hello and Happy Tuesday everyone! I am here with you today to share a most simple, modern St. Patrick’s Day wreath that can be done in any size and to match practically any decor. Finish this one up in a flash to deck out your door for St. Patrick’s Day, which is one of my favorite holidays.
I made a pretty small version that is actually being housed on my entry way table. Get a bigger version if you wish and go nuts! To get started, you’ll need some scrap felt, lots of white felt, some rhinestone embellishments, and a wreath form. Keep reading to see how easy it is!
Valentine’s Day Flag Centerpiece DIY (she: Anne)
Happy Tuesday friends! I can hardly believe it is already February, let alone almost Valentine’s Day! I usually am not a huge decorator for the day of love…maybe a little thing here or there, but this year I have felt a little more inspired to do something. I say it is for the kids, but it really brighten’s my work space to have some pretties around. Besides, I know how much my daughter loves things to be a little fancy…a little special. So, I thought a simple Valentine’s Day flag centerpiece would add some flair to our usual empty table, making it special for the holiday.

Make Your Child Feel Special on Valentine’s Day (she: Amy)
One of my goals as a mother is for my children to know that they are loved, cherished and that they matter.
Since Valentines Day is about showing people how much we love and appreciate them, I thought I would do a few special things to show my girl how much I love and cherish her. Read on for simple ways to make your child feel special on Valentine’s Day.
Origami Heart Love Notes (she: Amy)
On this coming Valentine’s Day, I plan to fold some origami hearts with little love notes inside and leave them everywhere for my daughter to discover.
Since my little love is still learning her A-B-Cs, I’ll be drawing pictures in the origami as well as using words she recognizes. To make this super easy for you, I’ve created a printable of the origami paper for you to download. It includes 6 rectangles to make 6 hearts. All you need to do is cut, write and fold. I plan to hide these all over the house – peaking out from under her pillow, taped to her toothbrush, stuck under her cereal bowl, attached to the seat belt of her car seat, hiding in her jacket pocket, etc.
Winter Gloves Makeover (she: Carmella)
Since it’s my first time to post here at Or So She Says this year, I want to wish you all a very happy New Year from Creative Carmella! We have enjoyed a lot of family time over the holidays and I have enjoyed having a little extra time to craft while the kiddos have been happily playing with all of their Christmas loot! Today I wanted to share a quick little makeover for a pair of winter gloves. We still have lots of cold days ahead of us but winter items are usually on clearance right now so stock up and create some one of a kind gloves to sport all winter long!
Snow Globe Ornament and DIY Ornament Roundup
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas at my house! When you’re a crafter (especially a craft blogger), you have to get a head start. Don’t worry, I haven’t put up the tree or anything… yet. Anyway, I’m so excited to show you this snow globe Christmas ornament that I made. Doesn’t it just make you want to light a fire, snuggle up, and listen to Christmas carols?
I made it using a clear plastic ball ornament that I found at Hobby Lobby. Unlike a regular ball ornament, this one splits in half so you can fit bigger things inside of it. So many possibilities! The little house ornament and the fake snow came from Michael’s.

Felt Feather Headband (she: Anne)
Hello everyone. I’m Anne from Circus Berry. I am very excited and honored to be a part of the Or So She Says team, sharing some fun crafts and DIY with you each month!
I am a perpetual crafter, decorator, and inventor of reasons to have celebrations everyday. I live outside of Buffalo, NY with my husband, two kids, and dog. My professional career began as a Speech-Language Pathologist, but I have had a flair for DIY, decor, crafts, entertainment, food, and drink for as long as I can remember. After a few untimely layoffs in the past couple of years I took lemons and made lemonade, taking my other passions to the next level and starting my own party-styling and design business. The Circus Berry blog is my natural extension of that business, where I share inspiration for food, drink, party, DIY, home style, photography, and all around fun. Stop over to see the crazy, the creative, and the spark-tacular!
I have always enjoyed making hair pretties for my daughter…heck, for myself. With Thanksgiving coming and the very trendy feather being so popular right now, I crafted a quick felt feather headband that I am excited to be sharing today.
Blitsy Giveaway ~ $50 Craft Supply Grab Bag!!!
Once upon a time, I would have considered myself a crafter … but then I had kids. Life got crazy busy, and I admit that I’ve lost touch with all the cool crafting trends and products that are out there. I’m also on a tighter budget then I was in my single-crafting days. So, I […]
Faux Zinc Planter Boxes ~ for a Dollar! (she: Jeanie)
As I was decorating my front porch for Fall, I realized that I had no containers, pots or planters for the mums. I’m not much of a gardener, flower or plant person. I mean, I love flowers and plants, but they don’t love me back. I have the brownest thumb ever. So therefore, I don’t have all the accessories, gadgets, pots, planters, etc. But what I do have are three mums (that are still alive – for the most part) for my front porch that need a home. Now I know I’ll plant them soon, hoping they’ll come back next fall, but they won’t. I plant three every year and only ONE has ever come back {sigh}. But in the meantime, I’d like to put them into something decorative for the front porch.
Have you priced the pretty urns, pots and planters lately? Holy moly! I especially like the Zinc ones that I saw at Restoration Hardware, starting at $205. I don’t think that’s in my budget. But, I came up with something that totally does… and, it’s just a dollar!
Grapevine Wire Pumpkins (she: Jessica)
Browsing around the floral section of the craft store, I came across some rustic grapevine floral wire. I used it to make some cute wire pumpkins for the house. They would look so great in a fall tablescape or mantle! I actually used this same technique to make these pipe cleaner and pony bead pumpkins with my kids. They look especially cute grouped with some burlap pumpkins that I made.
Come check them out… they’re simple, cute, and are perfect for both Halloween and Thanksgiving!
How To Make BINGO Cards With PicMonkey (she: Brooke)
I’ve mentioned before that my twins and three-year-old have birthdays one day apart. And those two days are this week. I’ve been working on getting some things together for our family’s annual three-in-one birthday party. It’s really nice to get all three birthdays done at once, but a bit crazy.
I’ve been working on some games for our party. I love a good game of Bingo. Don’t you? And I love PicMonkey even more than Bingo. Let me tell you, these two were made for each other. PicMonkey has made it so, so easy to make your own Bingo cards. I had so much fun putting the cards together, and it couldn’t have been easier.
So, without further ado, here’s the world’s longest Bingo tutorial post. Long, not in a bad way, but long because I included screen shots of every step so you can do this on your own. Just look for the orange arrows. Not only will you be able to make a Halloween Bingo game, but PicMonkey has been coming out with brand new material for each season lately. You can make Bingo boards for every holiday and occasion possible!
