The Simple Secret to making faux flowers come to life!

Today I will show you how to DIY with Faux Flowers. Whether you’re looking for fun décor, bright blooms, or cute party supplies, Michaels has everything you need to MAKE summer fun! If you follow me on any of my social media outlets you will notice that I take lot’s of flower pictures. I don’t know but I just get some kinda joy when I see something beautiful blooming strangely out of the ground.

This month’s Michaels Makers challenge is completely based around faux (fake) flowers. Now I know what you are thinking… I am “so” not a fake flower person because I was saying the same thing until I had the chance to gawk over the realistic flowers at Michaels. I also grabbed a few items from the store as well to make my flowers feel at home. You won’t believe the awesome items for Summer decor that are in the stores now. Who’s ready to check it all out!

Now before we begin I want to tell you that one thing I love about faux flowers is if you can purchase some that look really real then you can spread them out all over your space and things will look fresh as all get out all year long. Don’t worry that is what I plan on doing with mine! Yes I purchased this cute blue and white vase at Michaels a well!

Summer is right around the corner and let’s face it we all travel a lot which means if you have real flowers out then most likely they will be dead and gone when you get home. One good thing about these faux tulips is they will live forever, hehe… alongside these beautiful wild flowers. Are you also digging this stellar vase as well! Between me and you blue and white goes with any decor so get out and grab you some!

I love these end tables Michaels is carrying, which come in a ton of colors. The orange just stuck out to me so I had to have it, plus I love the pattern. Way to go Michaels.

The great thing about wild flower bouquets is you can snip off a few of the flowers and add them to little vases for a modern look. Small vases look great around bathtubs, kitchen sinks and in bathrooms.

If you are smart you are already in your car driving to Michaels! Listen you have to grab these flowers before they run out. Also, they have a large variety of string lights which look good around anything. I won’t lie, as soon as I took these pictures I strung these lights over my bed… SWOON!

Are you drooling over these delicate pink flowers yet?
Remember this project I did last month for Michaels? If you have not seen it you must check it out, it might give you some more faux inspiration. I hope you enjoyed learning a few simple ways to incorporate faux flowers into your life. Make sure to follow my on my social media outlets to see all the fun and creative things I am doing!

Happy New Year! This is officially my 1st post of 2016 and this will be my year to organize my life and hopefully everyone else’s, haha! Michaels has the perfect items to choose from to help your life stay organized and that is the hard part! This #MichaelsMakers challenge really put me in the perfect mood to get a few new items for my studio and I can’t wait to show you what I decided to get!

Inspired to organize your own space? Start the year off right! Michaels has tons of products and storage supplies that can be used to decorate and inspire creativity in any room of your house or office.

I especially love this time of the year. It is the perfect time for us to do a fresh cleansing of our spaces we spend a lot of time in plus it’s aways fun to get new things to help us organize our chaos! Remember last year when I showed you my WHOLE studio and how I stay organized?

I was stoked when I found out about the new line of organizational products from Michaels! Cre8ted spaces has bright and whimsical products that will freshen up any space you are in! Did I mention that this line is now 50% off right now!!!! I literally started screaming inside when I saw this cute teal cart and I knew I just had to have it!

I just loved the idea of having a mobile cart of art supplies to bring back and forth from one room to another!

For starters why not clean out those cardboard boxes filled with tubes of paint and throw them in these cute green boxes. I can’t even express how much I love this color, it totally fits my personality. Now I love having ton’s of containers for pens, pencils and paint brushes. I bought about 6 of these cute patterned ones and scattered them all over my studio.

Why not clean out your bathroom and place those items you use daily in cute containers or baskets so they actually look nice sitting out!

Honestly I could go on for days because you can literally organize every single corner of your life with these containers. I did however run across this Christmas tray at Michaels for 65% off!! It has a sweater pattern on the top and I will keep this out all year long. I love using twine for all of my project pictures so I figured this would be the best way to display them.

I also bought these containers to store different brands of products in. I love staying this organized!

This cart holds all of the things I use daily and I love it. I think I might just have to get a cart for my house as well.

How nice is this basket for paints! You will never have a problem looking for that perfect color.

Michaels just launched a new line of storage and organization product called Cre8ted Spaces available in stores now and it has tons of different colors, bins and office supplies – with more than 300 new items in 4 coordinating colors, you have to check it out!

I hope you enjoyed this post and until the next one, HUGS!!! XOXO, Jade

You can give your porch a new look by simply painting your door. Making this one change can give your home a completely new look and feel.

White walls make me very happy personally. I realize that some of you are scared of having bright white empty walls. Fear not, this is the perfect way to add tons of color in pillow cases, wall decor, lamps and flowers. This look is very crisp and clean and screams SUMMER!
Source ♥Porches are the first thing I notice on a house. A nice wrap around or a quaint little nook makes me feel happy on the same level. This is the perfect time to bust out those fun paper lanterns. Simply and easy porch transformation!

There is nothing better than having an open bar in your home 24-7. I especially love having these during the Summer. Having friends over and enjoying the nice weather goes perfect with this! You can purchase a mini bar or use something you already own and transform it with a little spray paint.

This time of the year is the perfect excuse to swap out those dark wintery curtains and replace them with fresh white sheers. Even if your walls are a darker color these will go with anything! They look especially romantic with a small breeze flowing through them.

The easiest home makeover for Summer is BRIGHT plants! Believe it or not you can get really creative with pots and flower colors. Terra cotta pots are very reasonable in price so you could purchase tons of them and add in vibrant flowers.

Have a swing on your porch? Want to “Summer-ize” it? Grab a fun blanket and some pillows and in no time you will create a cozy spot to relax at the end of your day or early in the morning. On another note, place a little table in front with trinkets that make you smile and your nook is now complete!
Source ♥Adding a hammock in your back yard will force you to go out and enjoy it! I promise!!! You can add lights around the hammock to create a complete serene spot to chill out. Don’t forget to throw some cozy pillows and a blanket on it. You never know when you will want to get close to someone special.
Source ♥Add curtains to your porch or outdoor cabana to add privacy. Not only that but this softens up your outdoor space making it great for gatherings! A cozy porch is the best!

Wanna take things a bit further to show your love of Summer?! Grab that perfect turquoise color and slap it all over your porch floor! Don’t worry about this color being a problem for fall because oranges and browns look great with this shade! Christmas… Add tons of whites and you will have the perfect snowy porch!

Happy Memorial Day Jaderbugs! Today I will be showing you how easy it is to glitter feathers!!!

So we just recently added on to the house and built this rad room! The inside is full of nice cedar wood and let’s just say it smells like heaven. Every morning we wake up and drink coffee while watching the birds eat their yummy food. This room was supposed to be a “hang” out room however it now has turned into my night time office. I love it really. I go in there and zen out. There was a few things missing in this beautiful room like…. COLORFUL GLITTERED FEATHERS!!! What is a girl to do? You guessed it, I had to break out the colorful feathers and yummy gold glitter. These are really easy to make and in no time you can bring a room from blah to BAM!
Let’s get started. Oh warning these babies are addicting. I am now about to add a strand of white feathers with gold glitter to the new room. It fits our boho lifestyle and just like Mc.Donald’s says “I’m loving it”…

Rainbow Feathers | Colored Twine | Mod Podge | Craft Brush | Gold Glitter The first thing you will do is slather some Mod Podge onto the top of your feather!

Next sprinkle your choice of glitter on top of the Mod Podge! If you want to save your glitter place a piece of paper under your feather.

Once all of your feathers are dry you can start tying your twine around the tips. Tip of advice: Make sure your feathers are facing the same direction when tying the twine around them.

VOILA! We have the gaudiest batch of glittered feathers you have ever seen in your life! What does that word mean…. Google it!

I know my friend Aunt Peaches would drool over these and she would probably wear them in her hair! Seriously. I am totally pleased with the way they came out and if you are anything like me then you like lot’s of the same things all together to form on cluster of awesomeness. Enjoy y’all!

Hugs from my computer to yours!! XOXO

Holy Easy Polka Dot Pillow Extravaganza! It’s MLK today and I am sitting at my computer suffering from a terrible abscess in my mouth. Rad right! Thanks to my doc I am all fixed up so I don’t feel any pain! I had a pretty quiet weekend and I honestly think my body needed it. I have been going from one thing to the next for the past few months and it felt really good to just chill out.

We have a few projects going on at home and don’t you worry I will be sharing them on here this week. I am painting our fireplace that is already painted so I am sorta excited to see the end results! It’s already painted a light sage green which isn’t that bad but I want a crisp clean whiten fireplace. Every room in the house is now white which is great because it allows the room to feel open and everything in the room pops! Don’t worry I might change my mind next week, that is usually how I roll!

Also we are adding another room onto the back of our house so I can’t wait to show you the things we are doing to that space! I have been wanting to do some polka dot leather pillows for a while now but since I have been so busy with the holidays I could never tackle this project. It’s an easy project but very tedious. Don’t forget to check out my STUDIO TOUR! Also I was unable to attend CHA this year but yesterday I received a HUGE box filled with goodies from Fave Crafts so I will be posting about all of the items in there!

…now let’s get to the nitty gritty

You will need: Fabric Pillow Cases | Fabric Fusion | Leather | Scissors

You can purchase all of the items I used by clicking on the links! They are affiliate links so by ordering from me you are helping support my GLITTER habit! XOXO

Step 1: Get a sheet of fabric fusion and peel off one side. This stuff is seriously amazing! If you do not like to sew you can use this product and it works so good!

Step 2: Place the sticky side down onto the back side of your leather.

Step 3: Get a stencil of circles, I am using my favorite which is by Stencil 1. Order it here. If you don’t have access to a stencil you can find something round use that to trace around.

Step 4: Place your stencil on top of the fabric fusion and trace out your circles with a sharpie.

Step 5: This is what it will look like once you are done. I used a pen instead of a sharpie.

Step 6: Once you are done tracing carefully cut out each circle! Have fun with this part! hehe

Step 7: Peel off the white sheet on the back of the leather circles and place them where you want on the pillows. I didn’t measure mine out with a ruler I just eyeballed it.

Love you all my little craft bugs! Huge bursts of happy energy sent from me to YOU right through this screen! I hope this post allows your imagination to go bonkers and you create loads of leather goodies! See you in the next post.
