Today I will show you how to make a 2 Tier Party Platter. It’s really simple and did I mention you can toss it when you are done using it!

Yep today we will use paper plates (sturdy ones) for this project.

I don’t know about you but I like an easy clean up after a day full of chaos so this works perfectly. Let’s get started.

*Paper Plates * Fabric Lace * Hot Glue Gun * Empty glass bottle Put some hot glue under the bottom of the glass bottle. If you don’t have hot glue you can use E600. Gently place the glass bottle down onto the large paper plate, directly in the center. Gently hold it there for a few minutes to make sure it dries completely.Get a small paper bowl and glue it to the top of the glass bottle. Hold until secure!

How stinking cute is this.

Things you can use this for:
*Put candy in for a holiday party
*Use as a makeup holder
*Keep in a space to throw your keys in and change
*Craft Supplies
*Kids toys

The possibilities are endless really. The best thing is it’s affordable and you can toss it if it get’s dirty and nasty.

What will you use your’s for?

Today is a perfect example of my motto “Why buy when you can DIY”. It’a almost Halloween and I always dress up my house and studio with DIY Halloween Houses. I love today’s craft because you can keep it when the holiday is over or toss them to avoid clutter. I know you are prolly thinking I am crazy for saying I would toss them but I am pretty over the top like that. It’s one of those things that I wouldn’t want to stuff in the attic. After all it’s not like it’s a Glitterville collectible. With that said, you can purchase these cardboard houses from Hobby Lobby and they are really inexpensive. I think the large house was around $5 and the other two were $2 and $3 dollars. I hope you enjoy them!

P.S. Check out today’s FREE Fall printable on Free Pretty Printables.

You can purchase these from Hobby Lobby!

I started by painting the houses with acrylic paint. I lined the roof with baker’s twine and added tissue paper to the front of house.

I used glass beads for the windows. For the curtain I used a paper straw and a piece of tissue paper. I let my godchild help me and I am so happy I did. It’s a fun craft that any kid can do and trust me it will keep them busy!

For the roof I used a little wooden planter and stuffed it with a fluffy boa! You can get these from the craft store also. I say use any fun goodies you have at home and be creative. After all that is where the fun comes in.

For the fence I cut a strip of Martha Stewart craft paper then added glitter to it. Just have fun with your house!

I hope you enjoyed these and you create your own magical houses for the holidays. See you in the next post!

Dream On, Dream On… Insert a tired face drinking coffee, singing this. The other day I took a walk in my neighborhood ,remember the pictures I shared? I have this odd desire to “collect” things that cross my path. Maybe it’s a little obsession or it could be that I am a little bit of a hoarder. I am sure people who know me reading this will laugh at that sentence. The only good thing is I get rid of these things as soon as I get them, so technically I am NOT a hoarder, haha! We will be making a dream catcher mobile today and trust me you will fall in love just like I did. Speaking of fall I can’t wait to start spraying these scents all over my house!

Wouldn’t this dream catcher look splendid on top of a baby’s crib?! It is sorta abstract v/s modern v/s county v/s whimsical.

P.S. If you click on the links above you can purchase all of the items I used, oh and you can help feed me more eggs and grits!

How delish are these colors! It’s like “Hey, I’ll take a plate of purple mush and green with envy”. I mean, if I could eat paint it would surely be this one!

It’s been forever since I used these sparkly glitter pens and boy am I glad I busted them out of their cubby hole!

Make sure when you open your bottle of paint to remove the protective paper on top! Or you could do like me and keep squirting and NOTHING ever happen. You would think as long as I been using these paints I would remember about this little piece of paper, right!

I didn’t paint in a particular order, I just painted!

I used Crayola air dry clay to form little balls. Make sure to stick a tooth pick through them before they dry. Once they are dry paint them whatever color you want.

On the end of each branch hot glue twine in a circular motion, don’t forget to leave a long piece on the end to connect them to each other!

String your beads now! I used super thin twine for this.

The next step is easy! Start connecting them any way you want, after all it is your dream catcher mobile.

I hope you enjoyed this post, seriously from the bottom of my super hungry, growling stomach. I hope the next time you see branches on the side of the road you pick them up!

Big HUGE glittery HUGS!
