I was so excited when I got this month’s box of goodies in the mail! I actually had ton’s of ideas once I started going through everything but I went with my gut instinct on this one.

The holiday’s are coming up and let’s face it, nobody likes store bought tags. I wanted to show you a simple and affordable way to achieve a “fannn-cyyy” look for a “fannn-cyyy” price! <—- yes say it like it’s spelled. I even threw in how to stamp your own ribbon. This year we will make it all about personalized gifts.

Now your gifts will be bursting with DIY’ness.

Pure love is what I felt when I saw how this flourish rubber stamp set was packaged. Shoots I would buy it just for the box, y’all! It comes with 10 stamps and 3 colors of ink. Black, White & Silver. Perfect for any holiday decor.

Since my tags were fairly small I decided to use a stamp that would fit perfectly on them. I also used a big stamp that went off the edges of tag and it came out so cute!

Since your packages or bottles of wine will have a fun tag hanging from them why not add a little embellished ribbon to go with it.

I mean, it would really top things off. You could also wrap this stamped burlap ribbon around a candle or add it to any wreath for a pop of DIY.

These can be used for practically anything. I will be using them as gift tags for Christmas but I wanted to show you how you can use them as part of your display also.

Happy Halloween Jaderbugs! I was going to post a fun tutorial today, but instead I am taking you to Madame Tussauds in New York . Me and my dad went and had the best time ever. It was amazing seeing these life size people. I felt today was a fun day to share this with you since everyone will be dressing up and becoming who they really want to be!

If you are ever in New York you must make it to Madame Tussauds. It’s a great experience. The figures are so realistic you will have to touch them to make sure they are not real. Plus, it’s affordable and fun!

I hope everyone has a safe and memorable Halloween! See you in the next post.

What is the first thing that comes to my mind when I think about sequins? Well of course I think of my freshmen homecoming dress.

Let me tell you that thing was blinged out! I will post a picture at the bottom of this post for you to see, don’t judge… TeeHee

Today I will show you how to make a Sequined Pumpkin.

*Plastic Pumpkin
*Glitter Glue
*Orange Glitter
*Head Pins
*Sequins (small and large)

If you don’t have any of the supplies I used in today’s post you can click on the links to purchase any of them!

How gorgeous are these sequins! I used the same iridescent color but in two sizes. It looks good when there is a small one in front of the big one.

I am using gold head pins. I like the gold because it adds some color to the sequins and dresses up everything.

The first thing you will do is place a small sequin on the pin then the large one right on top of that one.

Start placing them in your pumpkin starting the very top.

This is what it will look like once you have completely finished it. It’s so pretty I could eat it. Well not really but you get my point!

If you want to bedazzle it some more grab some glitter glue. If you don’t have glitter glue you can use any glue you have.

Coat the stem with glue then sprinkle with glitter. I used orange but you can use any color that you want.

It’s really that simple. The good news is we still have Thanksgiving to decorate for and you could make some gold and brown ones. I will warn you that they are very time consuming however they are worth it in the end.

When you are saving them up after the holiday’s make sure to place each one in a single ziplok bag so they don’t get dingy.

HERE IS THE LOVELY DRESS! Yes that me in the red dress with my bro and seester!

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial! See you in the next post!

Today I will be sharing an easy project that will dress up any cake or cupcake!

I had so much fun making these pumpkin cake toppers.This is a great craft for kids also!

You can click on any of the above links to purchase items I used in this tutorial.

The first thing you will do is grab a little ball of air dry clay. Roll it around in your hands until you make a round ball. Stick a toothpick through it letting a little piece stick out of the top. Once you do this get another toothpick and draw your lines in the pumpkin.

Let it dry over night then paint a coat of orange paint all over it. While your orange paint is still wet paint a little brown paint in the cracks. This will add an antique look to it.

You can even coat a little bit of brown paint over some of the orange if you want.

VOILA! How stinking cute are these! You could be a feisty fierce diva and put 10 pumpkins on a piece of cake or you could be simple and put one.

See you in the next post!

It’s all about DIY today and boy have I got some fun cake toppers for you.

Look, I like balls. I like them so much that I made my own version of “Cake Ball’s.” I know you are probably shaking your head right about now. If you are not I will for you.

The other night I was sitting in my studio thinking of cute things to add to the top of a cake. The first things that came to my mind was BALLS.

Let’s get started.

The first thing you will do is paint the paint sticks white. I am using a normal crafting brush for this step.

Next you will get this snazzy little Martha Stewart paint brush. It’s like two brushes in one!

I grabbed these “balls” last year at Tar-Jay and they are perfect. P.S. Make sure you take the tip off of the ornament. Paint that sucker all black. I had to put about 3 coats on them before I was happy.

This is how they will turn out. I am actually really shocked at how shiny they became after they were completely dry.

When they are done I put a little dab of hot glue on the tip of wooden stick and stuck it inside the ornament. Just hold it for a second till it’s dry.

Put a little hot glue around the tip of ornament then wrap twine around it.

VOILA!

I am so happy with the way they turned out! I know that I did them black but you could do them pink, purple or just leave them the color of the ornament.

Another idea is to do different size ornaments.

I hope you enjoyed this post! Make sure to have fun with your balls…
