VALENTINE'S DAY PORCH DECORATIONS WITH DIY HEART DOOR HANGER

Well hello there friends!!  It doesn't seem like it, but it's been a little over a month since I've been with you here!  We had a nice holiday season and have been getting back into the swing of normal life.  It's a fun time to be back... we get to talk about all of the Valentine-y things!  My porch looked pretty sad and empty for a week or two after I cleared out all of the Christmas, but I spent some time here and there the past few days working on it so now it's a happy little Valentine's Day Porch-   I've had some unfinished wood craft hearts in my holiday stash for a couple of years, and decided that now was the time to use one of them for a cute DIY heart door hanger.  It was an easy, fairly quick project and I'm so pleased with how it turned out! I'll share a simple tutorial below.  Supplies I used:  Craft Wood Heart , Flag Red ,  Pink Eraser , and Metallic Gold Craft Paint, Circle Template (I used a mason jar lid), Gloss Sealer ......

LOOK FOR LESS DIY SUNSHINE TIENDA HAT TUTORIAL

I have admired this hat for several years but just couldn't quite stomach the price tag.  I definitely splurge on some things occasionally, but I'm pretty frugal at heart!  I just knew that I could put together something similar at a fraction of the cost if I found the right supplies.  I searched, found some things, and made my own look for less Sunshine Tienda Rosita hat.  This is my inspiration photo of the original hat - Here are the supplies I gathered to use to make my version- *Hat close in style to the inspiration photo (more info. below) *Colorful striped belt/strap to use for hatband (more info. below) *Glue Gun * Stop Fraying Adhesive *Nail head (could also use a paper brad or any little embellishment you like) Now, some specifics on the hat.  You can obviously use any hat you like or might already have, but I wanted to try to get as close to the original as I could.  I found this hat new on eBay and am very pleased with it!  I'll link all ......

DIY COLORFUL TASSEL FRINGE STREAMER PHOTO BOOTH BACKDROP

This DIY colorful tassel fringe streamer photo booth backdrop was so fun to put together and turned out as such a festive photo booth op!   I actually made it two years ago around this time of year for a Mother's Day photo spot at our church but it seems like this was just yesterday! It's so versatile and can be customized to include any color scheme you choose- would be so fun with school colors for a Graduation party, color palette selections for a wedding, or a variety of colors for a whatever holiday party you might be hosting. This was such a fun and relatively simple DIY project and other than a few hours of time the monetary investment is pretty small for such a big impact!  I always want to make sure that I give credit where credit is due-  I originally saw a similar idea from Kara at A Kalio Chic Life , but made some changes and adapted the method she used to better suit my needs and budget.  Today I'm sharing with you how I made mine.   Here ......
