VALENTINES DAY DIY

Yay, a diy!!! Are you guys as excited as I am?! 

Probably not. 

Anyway, you know those little candy hearts that everyone gives out on valentines day? Yeah, the ones that taste like cardboard in your mouth. Totally gross. I'd say those things are a waste of food coloring. 

Well, as disgusting as they may be, they're still so darn cute! (and really photogenic!) So here we have a diy inspired by those repulsive candies! 

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:
a heart shaped wooden box (something like this). I got mine from Micheal's
pastel paints
alphabet stamp pack (here is the link to mine)
red ink pad

HOW TO MAKE IT:
One: paint your entire box (inside and out for a finished look!)
Two: wait for it to dry...
Three: look online for some cute phrases that are normally on the candies (xoxo is a favorite of mine!) and using your stamps, put it on your box! (I used a ruler to make sure I had the letters on straight!)

And you're done!! If you want, you can fill your box with sweets and give it to your significant other. I'll be giving mine to my cat. She'll love it. 

FROM DRAB TO FAB

I picked up some mini pumpkins yesterday and thought they could use a little makeover, and being the donut lover I am, this is what they ended up looking like!!!

It's really easy to make these! All you do is paint the frosting and then the sprinkles! I was going to do a DIY post but figured it was pretty self explanatory.

If you have mini pumpkins that could use a whole different look, try donuts, since donuts are the answer to everything!! (in my world, at least.)

SUMMER PROJECTS

So far, my whole morning has been spent on Pinterest. And of course whenever I'm on Pinterest, I start getting ideas. Ideas of crafts and DIY's and all things lovely! 

So, I thought I'd share my four favorites. (fyi; the pineapple stick doesn't have instructions. But it seems pretty simple, anyway)

Sometimes my summer is kind of boring, and I didn't want to let that happen again, so in that case, fun crafts were in order! Hope you enjoy!
