I know I haven't posted a DIY project in a while, but don't fret! I've got a quick and easy project for you today!

As you guys know, my husband and I bought our first home in April! And I've been filling the house with DIY decor ever since. So today's project will be no different!

In our kitchen, we have extra space above our cabinets, but we don't have much to fill it with. We found a couple of vases at Marshall's but they aren't nearly enough. So, I thought I'd try something new!

There's only a few more DIY projects until the house is completely decorated! I don't think you guys understand how excited I am about that! We have been working on the house since April and we are almost finished! Once I finish decorating the house, we will begin transforming the front and back yards!

Today's DIY project is an easy initial door hanger with burlap roses! I don't know why, but I am really liking paper and fabric flowers this year. In fact, I've already created a wooden initial plaque with paper roses a few months ago! So, it was only a matter of time before I got to this project!

As you guys know, my husband and I bought a house. So, I've been going a little overboard with DIY projects. Alright, you caught me! I've gone way overboard; I stranded myself on an island and started DIYing over there too.

I'm sure you think I'm kidding, but sadly it's true. I've actually picked up enough supplies to complete 2 months worth of DIY blogposts. You should know though, you will definitely benefit from them! I've got some great projects coming up and I've even turned a couple of them into giveaways :)

Anyways, I was scrolling through Pinterest a while ago and I came across the Coffee Stirrer DIY Project from Make & Do Crew. I thought it was really cute and I wanted to do something similar. However, the frames they used were way too small. So, I decided to make my own frame!

Here are the exact measurements that I used:

• 1 3/32" x 8" x 24" Basswood Sheet
• 3 3/32" x 1" x 24" Basswood Sheet

I have to be honest, I'm super envious of all of you coffee and tea drinkers out there! I want an excuse to have a cabinet full of adorable and witty mugs, but I only drink water. That's where you come in! 

I've been wanting to make marble coffee mugs for quite some time and I finally decided to just go ahead and do it! Since I don't have any use for the finished product, I thought I'd host a giveaway :)

Originally, I made two mugs using the nail polish I received in my Bloom Voxbox! It was a bright pink SinfulColors (SinfulShine) nail polish. My first mug turned out really great and the second one was good, but not my favorite. I think the only problem was letting it sit in the water for too long. 

I decided that I wanted to make this giveaway extra special, so I went to the store and picked up two more nail polish colors and two more mugs. I knew I wanted to stick with the SinfulColors brand since it obviously worked for this project. However, I didn't pay close enough attention. I actually put back the two SinfulShine colors that I picked up originally and purchased two different colors. The only difference being that the tops were black instead of silver. I didn't even catch the difference until I began writing this post. 

When I got home, I completed the DIY project like I normally would. However, I wasn't getting the same results that I had been before. In my Bloom Voxbox review, I mentioned that I needed quite a few coats of nail polish. I think that's the difference between the silver cap and the black cap. When I added the nail polish to the water, some of it sunk and the rest clumped together. I stirred as I normally would, but the end result did not look as pretty as the rest. I even tried adding some of the new colors to one of the earlier pink mugs for a layered look, but it didn't come out as I thought it would.

With that being said, I will only be giving away one mug now. I created four all together, but I really only think that one is up to my standards. I would never want to send you guys one of my failed pieces. Of course, I'd be happy to show you how they turned out, if you'd like to see!

Tonights creative post was supposed to be my recipe for 380 calorie chicken quesadillas, but my husband decided he wanted Chinese for dinner. So, of course, I had to come up with something on the fly.

I've had this metal container sitting on top of the refrigerator for some time now. I picked it up the last time I was at target, but I ended up not liking the contents. I knew I wanted to save the container for a future project, and I finally figured out what that project would be!

I've been trying to find and create pieces to go on the bookshelf we've been eyeing and I knew this would fit perfectly! I can't wait to show you how it all comes together in our home tour!

To be honest, tonight's DIY tutorial almost turned into a Pinterest fail... I surprised myself when I was actually able to complete it and it looked the way that I wanted!

I've seen so many wreaths on Pinterest and Etsy and I've always wanted one! However, they were either two expensive or they just weren't my style. I actually attempted to make one a few months ago with yarn, but I only completed about two inches after a few hours. So I cut my loses and took the yarn off. 

Then when I was on one of my weekly Walmart trips, I found some really cute squares of fabric. I decided to pick them up and, with the previous wreath form in mind, decided to give a DIY wreath another try!

It's that time again! I've got another DIY tutorial for you! Last time we made a yarn wall hanging and this time we are making a wooden initial plaque with paper roses! I've been wanting to make one for so long so I finally decided to bite the bullet and go for it!

Did you know that one of March's themes is National Craft Month? I definitely didn't! 

I've been wanting to post a few DIY tutorials for a while now, and I figured when is a better time to start than the month dedicated to crafts?!

I love creating these beautiful yarn hangings for multiple reasons. They are so easy to create and you can personalize them in so many ways! I'm kind of a supply hoarder when it comes to DIY, so of course I've got every color yarn under the sun! You can change your colors, your design, and even your base.
