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!

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 ......

SPRING PORCH DECORATIONS WITH BUNNY DOOR HANGER

This time of year is always tricky for me to decorate my porch.  The Kimberly Queen ferns that I always have on my porch through the Summer won't be available until sometime later in April and we're not past possible night time freezing temps yet, so I always resort to pulling out my faux topiaries for a few months after Christmas. Here's where I started after all of the Christmas decorations were taken down, looking pretty plain! 🙁  I've had a pair of large ginger jars on my porch for a while, and the ginger jar door hanger that I've used for several years just didn't seem right with them.   So, I've been needing something different.  I saw this giant bunny at Hobby Lobby last week and knew I wanted him to hang on the door as soon as I saw him!  However, I had to make some modifications.  He's designed to stand and doesn't have any kind of hanging hardware on the back, so I fixed that!   First, because it's not really my thing, I used some......
