easter basket toolbox…

April 8, 2009

after seeing sally, from shim + son’s cute easter toolbox i knew i wanted to make one for my little z man. well, easter came and went a little too quickly last year.

so, this year i wanted to make sure to get it done for the little guy. i had fun filling it with little gizmos and gadgets, and i know my little z man is going to love his gift from the “easter bunny.” can’t wait to watch him open all his little treasures!

mini-pumpkin wreath…

October 8, 2008

still finishing up on some halloween decorations around my house so i can enjoy them for a little bit before taking them down.

i decided to make a wreath with mini-white pumpkins. i was happy it actually turned out as i planned. i haven’t lost a pumpkin yet.

super easy. it probably took me 20 minute max.

supplies
mini pumpkins [enough fill your wreath] [yes, they are real pumpkins… choose the color you like!]
wire wreath forms from craft store [found near flower supplies]
ribbon (color and size of your choice, i used black)
hot glue gun/glue

directions
i basically just wrapped ribbon around the wire frame covering it completely, and glued in in place.
then, i hot glued each pumpkin one (you really have to use a lot of glue, don’t be afraid to be generous with it) by one around it. tied a ribbon around the top to hang it from.

voila!
