Pecan, St. Patricks Day Wreath!!

Here is my St. patricks day wreath i made last year... Love it...
Dollar store wreath and hot glued Pecans all the way around. Spray painted it white. Then for the clover i cut the shape out of card board. We all know streamers for birthday partys, i got 2 rolls for a $ 1 at the dollar store. I fold it in half and with hot glue i just bunched it all close together. WA-La! added some tule and hung it on my pantry door!

Yes some of nuts cracked when i hot glued them on.....and i burnt my finger a few times and said a few choice words...i Dislike the glue gun!

Burlap HEart Wreath!!!

I made this cute Burlap heart wreath Tonight 15 min. so easy and so cute for Valentines day. I got the idea over at Craftaholic http://diaryofacraftaholic.blogspot.com/2010/01/white-burlap-heart-door-decor-with.html She made this CUTE CUTE burlap wreath. The only thing i did different...is i used 1 hanger..i didnt cut it or anything, just bent it to the way i wanted! Also i used a yard of fabric and i think she only used 1/3.
you can use anything to make this tho...ribbion, or any other fabric that you like!
ALSO

This is another $ 1 store find...you can buy these cups LArge or small and you buy the candle stick they have a few to choose from. The picture below is a candle stick i already had...So you can do either.

OR


This is the one that i bought at the dollar store. E6000 it together. and you have a cute decoration for any holiday!

Just add all your little nic nacs...i used most of my stuff form Christmas...these are big and small ornaments! you can basically add anything. For Christmas i stuffed them with pine cones and poinsettia's*

Cutiest Christmas Tree stand Ever!



THIRFT Store $5 bucks....(it was $10 but the lady down there loves me and i only had $5, Sooo SOLD to me for $5 dolla)

I painted it all white, and then with my jigsaw i cut out a circle big enough for my tree to fit in it. The drawers open up, so i put the stand in it and then placed the tree in the hole into the stand. Wall-la. FYI, do this before you have your tree all put together and all the decorations on it. MUCHO easier im sure!!


After i painted it white and sanded the edges and stained all of it. I LOVE it.. Ooops forgot to put the knobs back on!
I love the stars on it!

Im in love with my tree topper. its so diffrent, i love it!

The little stinkers kept trying to sneak in so here is a picture of the cutties!!

GOT fake Flowers? : Spooky wreath!





So my husband has claimed me as a "craft Hoarder" I literally save everything that i think "someday i will use that"...so have 2 totes full of fake "nasty flowers" that i saved for a someday craft!!! I'm always rubbing things in his face saying, look what i made for free with all my hoarding crap!! haah,...anyways, i saw a wreath like this at are cute "gingerbread house" $42 BUCKs...ya, right, so i made mine for 97 cents, which was the cost of the black spray paint. Everything else i had!

i used a grapevine wreath, lots of fake flowers, hot glue, spider webbing and spray paint. i just glued all the flowers in one direction. spray painted them after they were on. then i added the spider webbing!I left a gap to add my tulle. I love it. !!!
