Sharpie Oil-Based Paint Pen
Twigs
Twine

You can paint the pumpkins white or orange. I went with a classic orange color.

Then just have some fun with the faces. I looked up pumpkin faces on Pinterest just to have something to use as a guide. But you can make silly faces or scary faces. The sharpie paint pen makes it so easy!

Also, if you painted these white you could turn them into ghosts with scary ghost faces and leave off the twig stem. That would be really cute too. I wanted to leave the banner up all Season, so I thought pumpkins would be able to stay up through Thanksgiving.

Then just hot glue small twigs for the pumpkin stem to the top of each. Finally, attach it to the twine for hanging. It’s a very simple, but cute fall project.

DIY Farmhouse Stenciled Pillows-Monthly Craft Destash

September 18, 2017

We are back with our Monthly Craft Destash challenge and I am sharing DIY Farmhouse Stenciled Pillows.

DIY Farmhouse Stenciled Pillows Our Crafty Mom

I started with two pillow covers that I picked up for $4.99 each at Hobby Lobby. They are pretty much my go to pillow covers as they are great for DIY projects and they are inexpensive!

I love these stencils that I received from my blogging friend Angie over at Knick of Time Vintage Stencils . She has the most amazing farmhouse ideas and she has developed a line of stencils for all those like me who love the farmhouse/vintage style. She was kind enough to give me a couple of stencils to share with you guys.

Stenciling is so easy with sharpie paint pens. I wanted these pillows to have a vintage feel, so I went with a very light hand when stenciling.

I am so happy with how they came out! They are perfect for the farmhouse look I love and who doesn’t want fresh baked pies in the fall-or any time for that matter? I can’t wait to go apple picking this weekend and make apple pie!

The Farmers Market stencil is also perfect for fall or year round. Nothing better than sunflowers and fresh vegetables from the Farmers Market.

It is the perfect size for my favorite IKEA Ektorp chair aka “the mom chair”. Add a comfy throw and it’s the perfect spot to read and blog!

DIY Halloween Plates & Cricut Maker Giveaway!!!

September 10, 2017

Welcome!! If you’ve visited here before, you all know how much I love my Cricut! As an avid crafter I love being able to make things for my home or as gifts. Cricut allows me to do that and so much more. Card making and paper crafts are two of my favorite hobbies and Cricut opens up a world of possibilities in this area.

This post contains affiliate links at no extra cost to you. This post is sponsored by Cricut. Please see my full disclosure here

So I am thrilled to be teaming up with over 40 bloggers to share Halloween projects all made using the Cricut AND all made in under 15 minutes! This is part of the Craft Lightning challenge hosted by The Country Chic Cottage, 30 Minute Crafts and 100 Directions

For my project, I created quick and easy DIY Halloween Plates. Let me show you how simple it is!

DIY Halloween Plates

Supplies

4 Black Dollar Store Plates
White Vinyl

I used my Cricut Explore Air™ 2 machine for these DIY Halloween Plates. As the challenge is under 15 minutes, I stuck to silhouette style images that were one color and layer. However, you certainly could use images that are more detailed if you like. I really like the contrast of the white against the black.

I went with an owl, a skull, skeleton and a witch all classic Halloween images. You can find so many free svg images on Pinterest, however, if you want thousands of images without having to search check out Cricut Access Premium

DIY Halloween Plates & Cricut Maker Giveaway!!! @officialcricut #ad #giveaway #cricut

Just make the image the size you want. I found for the plates about 4.5″ was a good size to fit in the center of the plate. Adhere the vinyl to the plate using a credit card to remove any air bubbles. Now for the best part!! Cricut is giving one lucky reader the new Cricut Maker!! This baby is on my Christmas list along with the new Heat Press. Check out all the details and enter below. Good luck!!

DIY Dollar Store Pumpkin Topiary

September 5, 2017

It’s officially fall-well in my home anyway!! It is never fun to bring up the fall boxes and sort through stuff, but it is definitely fun to decorate! I have lots of blog hops coming up soon including a fall mantel hop and a fall home tour with over 30 bloggers! I hope you will stop by and visit over the next couple of weeks to see!

This post contains affiliate links at no extra cost to you. Please see my full disclosure here

When I decorate my mantel I try to change it up each year, partly because I get bored and also so you can see different ideas and options. I am always mindful of a budget and am thankful that I like to craft so I can make things inexpensively. Today I will show you how super simple it is to make the white pumpkin topiary in the above picture. You’re also getting a sneak peek of my fall mantel! Here is what you need:

DIY Dollar Store Pumpkin Topiary

3 Dollar Store foam pumpkins

Deco Art Americana Chalky Finish Paint

DecoArt Americana Acrylic Paint

Foam Stencil Brush

Container to fit pumpkins

You can paint the pumpkins whatever color you like, but I love white pumpkins so I went with white chalk paint. Give each pumpkin two solid coats of paint. Next, take the foam brush and add the brown paint sparingly to give it some texture.

I use paper clips to attach the pumpkins together. I showed you how in a wreath I made last year here:

Rustic Glam Fall Wreath

I made two of these to anchor the mantel and the pumpkins fit snugly in each container, so I didn’t even have to use hot glue. This is also great because if I want to use the containers for something else I can.

The ironstone container was the perfect size and height that I needed. My only cost for two topiaries was $6 for the pumpkins! You can’t beat that! I used a stick for the stem and it really makes a difference. The stem on the original pumpkin made it look kind of tacky.

Create A Farmhouse Fall Vignette

September 1, 2017

Welcome to the very first Farmhouse Hens Decorate Blog Hop!!

We are all so excited to introduce our brand new blog hop. Once every month I will team up with five of my favorite bloggers to create our best farmhouse decor to share with you! These talented bloggers inspire and challenge me with their blogs and we hope to challenge and inspire you as well.

This post contains affiliate links at no extra cost to you. I received product from Oriental Trading in exchange for this post, however all opinions are 100% mine. Please see my full disclosure here

A huge thank you to my friend Leanna from Faeries and Fauna for organizing this challenge and coming up with our adorable Farmhouse Hens graphic-cute right? With fall right around the corner, we thought it was the perfect time to share a farmhouse fall vignette that will hopefully inspire you in your fall decorating!

Nothing says farmhouse to me more than galvanized metal and I really wanted to use my favorite Olive Buckets from Painted Fox Home. These truly are a staple in farmhouse decorating as they are so versatile. I simply placed a white mum in the larger bucket and can’t wait for it to actually bloom. I know it will look even prettier once it does!

In the smaller bucket I placed two ceramic white pumpkins from Oriental Trading that I just love! It is a little too early in our area for real pumpkins. That didn’t stop me from calling my favorite nursery to see if they had them in yet! We call the small white pumpkins “boos” in our neck of the woods. Is that what you call them? Anyway, I was told a couple more weeks before they are out. Until then, the faux pumpkins look perfectly at home nestled with a throw in front of my deacon’s bench that I updated a few months back.

Look at this gorgeous large ceramic pumpkin that I placed on top of the bench. It is also from Oriental Trading and is even prettier in person. I had no idea when I ordered it how large it was-what a happy surprise! If you are looking for fall decor, you really can’t beat the quality and prices. I will be sharing my fall mantel next week with more Oriental Trading goodies!

Next, a thankful banner pillow wrap from Hobby Lobby was attached to a simple linen pillow. I had no idea they even made pillow wraps, but kudos to whoever came up with this idea! It was only $5.99 but was 40% off so it was a bargain. It has Velcro on the end to attach to a pillow. I also bought a “blessed” one.

A couple of lanterns with LED candles complete this farmhouse fall vignette. I hope you enjoyed this post and will hop on over to the other bloggers linked below to see their farmhouse fall vignettes.

Create A Neutral Rustic Fall Tablescape & Blog Hop

August 31, 2017

Welcome to the Fall Tablescape Blog Hop! If you are visiting from Starfish Cottage, I am so happy you are here! A big thank you to Chloe from Celebrate and Decorate for hosting this fun Blog Hop. It is something I look forward to for weeks. Hopefully you have visited some of the other bloggers and will visit the rest throughout the week. You will definitely be inspired!

If you have been here before, you know I love to set a beautiful table. Prior to my sister moving to Florida, I always hosted Thanksgiving and couldn’t wait to come up with new ideas for the tablescape-especially favors for the guests. My younger sister Joanne used to get so excited to see what I would put together.

This post contains affiliate links at no extra cost to you. I received product from Walnut Hollow, however all opinions are 100% mine. Please see my full disclosure here

Though I no longer host Thanksgiving, it is still so fun to put together a beautiful tablescape for blog hops and fall home tours! Thanks for being here and I hope to inspire you with my Neutral Rustic Fall Tablescape. So grab a cup of your favorite pumpkin flavor beverage and let’s get to it!

When planning a tablescape, I normally start with an inspiration piece. For this setting it was the gorgeous leaf placemats I found at Pier1 Imports.

I loved that they were soft, muted fall colors and had hints of copper glitter in them. Once I had my inspiration piece, I decided on what dishes to use. I have a thrift store in town that sells dishes 4 for $1! No joke! It is a little scary though because they literally pile plates up on shelves and you have to sort through them. It is no easy task-especially for someone like me who tends to be a little clumsy. But it is so worth the effort. I love white china and found these simple ivory plates that I knew would be perfect with the antique china from my great, great grandmother.

Isn’t the basketweave pattern great? Again 25 cents!! Next, I added these gorgeous metallic leaf plates and did a little happy dance! I am a bling girl all the way and this is like bling for your table!

Mixing old and new is a great way to not only keep costs down, but also to add personal elements to your tablescape. My great, great grandmother’s antique china is my favorite to use at Thanksgiving not only because of the sentimental value, but also because of the fall colors and pattern.

The rich cobalt blues and coppers in this antique china pop against the dinner plate and metallic leaf. I didn’t want anything to compete with the china, but wanted to have some kind of place card at each setting. In keeping with the rustic theme, I went with a neutral pear and added a bay leaf with gold lettering. It is simple but I think kind of elegant on the china.

Next I used my DIY Napkin Rings for pretty gold and white linen napkins that I picked up on clearance at the home store. I just hot glued the pumpkin and leaves to the top of the rope napkin holder.

I really wanted to include pretty copper stemmed wine glasses, but it just wasn’t in the budget. What is a crafter to do? Simply take my favorite copper spray paint to the stems of Dollar Store Wine Glasses for an inexpensive, yet elegant look. They really pick up the copper tones in the dishes.

The flatware was placed in the DIY Burlap Silverware Holder that I made a few years ago.

For the centerpiece, I wanted to stick with the neutral, rustic theme and went with my favorite Walnut Hollow Wood Slice Planks. I use these for so many things.

I will let you in on a secret-I painted the back side with chalkboard paint for another decor option. I use both sides of everything. It is a great way to mix things up and also saves on storage.

Antler sheds were also given a copper hue and are a nice addition to the rustic theme.

An ironstone pitcher filled with wheat and some faux leaves compliment the rustic look of the wood slice planks, but are not overwhelming.

My favorite addition are the gorgeous Walnut Hollow Rustic Birch Pillars. They are so versatile and I have so many ideas for these. For now, I placed copper ceramic Dollar Store pumpkins on top and just love them.

I hope you enjoyed this post Create A Neutral Rustic Fall Tablescape and are inspired to set a beautiful table for your family. It doesn’t take much time or money-simply use items from nature like pine cones and leaves. Have fun checking out all the other fall tablescapes. I’m off to Dining Delight to see her fall goodness!

Kids Crafts ~ Make Your Own Slime DIY Kit

August 29, 2017

I recently talked about my niece’s pink and gold themed birthday party here. She loves to make things and I thought it would be fun to give her some kind of craft kit that she could make with my sister (her grandma) while visiting. I know slime is still going strong and I saw the most adorable Make Your Own Squishy Like Slime Large DIY Kit that I thought was the coolest thing!

This post contains affiliate links at no extra cost to you. I received product from WeCool in exchange for this post, however all opinions are 100% mine. Please see my full disclosure here

Check this out:

Look at all that glitter!! I am telling you I would have loved this as a kid, heck I love it now! My 21 yo wanted to make it with her friends and I had to explain it was for my niece! One of the great things about this is it is so easy to make. You just need to add water, plus it includes everything you need right down to the bowl and spoon for mixing! It is not messy like homemade slime kits as the consistency is just right! You can customize with the glitter and make as little or as much as you want.

Also while this compound slips and slides, it sticks to itself so it doesn’t stay on your hand when you’re done playing. You don’t have to worry about leaving behind any harmful chemical residue. You can definitely trust this kind of compound around your child. It comes with the following:

4 Storage Containers
8 Compound Powder Packs
9 Glitter Packs
Mixing Tray
Spoon

Recommended for children 5+

Next check out this Bobble Bitz Triple Creation Pack :

This stuff is so cool! Kids can make their own little sculptures, window clings, jewelry, etc. The sky’s the limit! Just shape your bobble bits and let it dry overnight! You can squeeze it, squish it and even hear the little snapping and popping as the bitz collide with one another in your hand. Again, this product only sticks to itself so no worries about getting it stuck to your nice sofa or more importantly, being harmful to the kids. It won’t stay on their hands. Did I mention it’s reusable? Yup-just keep it in the air tight container and you can reuse this over and over again!

Movie Monday Challenge -The Breakfast Club Breakfast

August 28, 2017

On the last Monday of each month, a group of bloggers participate in a #MovieMondayChallenge, hosted by C’mon Get Crafty! We decide on a topic, genre, or specific movie to use for inspiration and everyone gets free reign to create something wonderful! With it being back to school we all picked movies with a school theme. My first pick was The Breakfast Club!

This post contains affiliate links at no extra cost to you. Please see my full disclosure here

This movie came out in 1985-the year I graduated High School, so it is near and dear to my heart. But, another reason I am so partial to this movie is because it is timeless. My 26 year old son and my 21 year old daughter both love the movie as well. My daughter chose this movie poster as one of four to hang on valuable wall space in her dorm room the past 3 years. She also collects Funko POP and has the coolest John Bender Funko POP shown here. This is a rare find and is probably one of her favorite out of the 30 or so that she owns.

Cute right? For my daughter’s last morning home before I move her back to College, I decided to put together a fun The Breakfast Club Breakfast for us all to enjoy!

While the movie basically showcased what the students had for lunch, I changed it up for breakfast. Let’s see what we served:

The Breakfast Club Breakfast

A Brain – Brian Johnson

A classic breakfast of bacon, eggs and home fries with whole wheat toast and a glass of orange juice served. All 5 food groups are covered here!

A Basket Case – Allison Reynolds

Who could forget her cereal and sugar sandwich? A bowl of sugary Captain Crunch fits the bill!

A Princess – Claire Standish

I know Claire ate sushi in the movie, but we are not a sushi family at all. As she is very health conscious I could picture her eating a well balanced, light Breakfast of a hard boiled egg and a slice of whole wheat toast with just a smidgeon of peanut butter.

An Athlete – Andrew Clark

Who could forget his lunch packed in a full size grocery bag with a full bag of potato chips? Of course wrestlers need lots of protein to give them energy to get through the rigorous training. A large omelet packed with spinach, cheese and turkey sausage.

How about a fruit and yogurt parfait for dessert?

A Criminal – John Bender

For one of my favorite movie bad boys, nothing but coffee (and I’m sure smokes as in the movie)

This was a fun trip down memory lane and made me want to watch the movie again. I hope you enjoyed it and will stop by the other bloggers linked below to see what Back to School movies they are sharing.

Now let’s see what everyone else was inspired to create for this month’s #MovieMondayChallenge!! If you’d like to join our Facebook group, you can request an invite here.

A Curbside Kitchen Table Gets A Makeover

August 24, 2017

Hello and welcome to Our Crafty Mom! It is so hard to believe it is already the end of the month! That means it’s time for our Thrift Store Decor Upcycle Challenge. If you’ve visited here before you know I am moving my daughter into her first apartment for her Senior year of College this weekend.

This post contains affiliate links at no extra cost to you. I received product from DecoArt used in this post. Please see my full disclosure here

The apartment does not have a single piece of furniture, so I have been scrambling to ensure she at least has the essentials. That is where my thriftiness comes in handy and saves a ton of money! My neighbor was throwing this kitchen table and chairs out and I couldn’t get it in my car fast enough!

Look at the detail on these captain chairs! I knew with a little love these babies would shine!!

The Rules:

Upcycle an item(s) from a thrift store, resale store, or garage sale into a new piece of decor.
There’s no monthly theme.
There’s no budget to stick to.

Meet the Hosts

Make sure you follow our board on Pinterest for more upcycled decor inspiration!

My daughter and her roommates are going with a coastal theme and we decided on a pretty gray color for the table and chairs. But I couldn’t stop there as the table looked really plain. I decided to jazz it up with a cool medallion stencil after getting the go ahead from the group. Here is the finished project and then I’ll share what I used on this piece:

Supplies

Mandala Stencil (Similar)
Deco Art Americana Decor Maxx Gloss
FrogTape
Stencil Roller Kit
HomeRight Finish Max Sprayer

I decided to use the paint sprayer on the chairs, table base and legs and it was done in no time. This paint sprayer is seriously one of my favorite DIY tools. I hate painting spindles and the sprayer makes it so easy. Each piece was given two coats of paint letting it dry in between. For the table I used a foam roller, again giving it two coats.

Once it was dry I taped the stencil in the center of the kitchen table and used white chalk paint on the entire piece. It is so simple using a paint roller.

The table and chairs were finished with two coats of clear wax sealer. I’m going to pretend that the kids won’t be using this table to play quarters or whatever other college drinking games are popular now, lol! I will point out they are 21! Maybe the reminder that Mom refinished this table for them will minimize any drinking games!

Once it is all set up in the apartment, I will post an updated photo. Right now my living room is taken over by apartment furniture! I hope you enjoyed this post and will check out the other projects linked below. I have seen a sneak peek and you will not be disappointed!
