Welcome to our second edition of Saturday Showcase! If you missed the first one back in January, you can check it out here. But here’s the quick low-down: on the last Saturday of every month, I’ll be teaming up with some of my best blogging friends to bring you a curated collection of our favorite projects, crafts and home ideas!
Grab a cup of coffee and settle in, we’ve got some clever and lovely projects to share with you this month!
Do you ever happen upon the clearance aisle at the craft store, fill your cart with all sorts of materials and surfaces that scream I-could-do-something-with-this, and then dump them in a drawer when you get home and promptly forget about them? Yeah, me too. I am notorious for bringing home things that I think I can someday make something out of. And then they pile up in my craft room for… let’s just say for a while. So I was pretty excited when my friend Sarah from Flourish & Knot suggested putting together a blogger challenge, called There for the Making, where we would only use things we already had on-hand to create something new. Genius, right!?!?
If you’re anything like me, you probably love projects that give you instant, or nearly instant, gratification. I like being able to look back on my day or my weekend and see what I’ve created or completed. So if this sounds like you, you may want to check out these easy DIY decor projects I’ve rounded up today. These are some of my favorite creative projects from some of my blogging friends. The best part is that you can make these in one weekend. And since this weekend is a holiday weekend, you gain a bonus day to make and create!
Less than one week until Valentine’s Day! I’ve got another fun DIY art project to share with you today. As I was thinking of how I wanted to decorate our mantel for Valentine’s Day, I kept thinking of favorite novel – Pride and Prejudice. I’ll be sharing my Valentine’s mantel with you tomorrow, but in the meantime, I want to show you how I made this Jane Austen Silhouette art.
Today is a fun day, friends – it’s our February Create with Me DIY Challenge day! And our material for this month, as chosen by you—our awesome readers—is fabric. I’ve been wanting an oversized flannel scarf for a while now, and decided this was the perfect opportunity to make my own DIY Blanket Scarf. It’s so easy, and now I have a pretty scarf to keep me warm and cozy for the last few weeks of winter!
