May Day Baskets for Friends!

May Day Baskets for Friends!

Here is my idea for May Day Baskets for friends. This wasn't a big tradition where I grew up, but Jen and my husband, Jared, remember taking cute baskets around the neighborhood as kids. They grew up in the Midwest. I think it is adorable. We will have to try it next year, I think the kids would love this tradition.

Here is a picture of our May Day baskets we are going to take to our friends. I used a cup and punched a hole on both sides and used a pipe cleaner for the handle. I used my cricuit and cut out flowers and punched a hole in the middle and stuck a sucker throught the hole and then I used a green straw to make the stem longer.

May Day Facts:
Here are some fun May Day Facts that Jen compiled as well.

May Day (May 1st) is celebrated in many places around the world. The traditions and stories surrounding May Day vary from place to place. There is, however, one thing that is similar in most celebrations - the use of Flowers!

One of the most popularly known May Day traditions is to hang a basket full of spring flowers and/or other small gifts on a neighbor's doorknob. The trick is you don't want the neighbor to see you! If you get caught, you are supposed to get a kiss.

A popular activity on May Day is to decorate a pole with brightly colored ribbon or paper streamers. Some also add flowers and balloons. The pole is usually carried in a parade and then placed in the ground at a designated area. People then dance around the May Pole, holding the ends of the streamers or ribbon in their hands.  Make your own tabletop May Pole here.

In London, May Day is celebrated with the children going from house to house. They bring flowers and get pennies in return. The pennies are then thrown into a wishing well. The pennies are then donated to charity.

In France, cows play an important role in May Day. The cows are led in parades with many flowers attached to their tails. The people watching the parade try to touch the cows; it is believed to be good luck.

In Germany, one tradition is for boys to secretly plant a May tree in front of the window of the girl they love.

On May 1st, people in Hawaii celebrate their own version of May Day; they call it Lei Day. People give Hawaiian leis to each other. They put them around each other's necks and sometimes give a traditional kiss.

ENJOY!
Simple Denim Aprons for Mother's Day Gifts!

Simple Denim Aprons for Mother's Day Gifts!

I decided that this is going to be a Denim week so I thought I would continue on with some more Jean Ideas. If you have some jeans that wont fit here is something fun to try!

I was thinking this would be fun to make for my son's teacher for Teacher Appreciation Week that is coming up in May. I also think this would be a very cute gift for Mother's Day for my mom. She is always crafting with my daughter. It would be fun to make them matching ones to keep at her house.

Here is the front and back view.  Isnt it cute?




How to?

You cut the behind part of the jeans off to use as the font of your apron, leaving the back two pockets intact to use for towels, utensils, etc.

Then cut a 3-4 inch piece of fabric to the length you will need for your edges (Dont forget to leave 8-10 inches extra if you are ruffling it!) and hem one edge under.  My Grandma used a Zig-Zag stitch and I think it is really cute.

Then sew fabric onto the edges in a ruffle or straight seam.  Mine is ruffled and the little one is straight.  For the ruffle I would just put the right sides together and sew in a zig zag tucking here and there for the ruffle effect.  If you are more of a seamstress you could adjust the tension very loose and make the ruffle on your machine, then sew it on.  For the straight seam, the fabric looks like she just folded it over the denim and sewed it on with a straight stitch.  Easy, easy...haha, but we should never say that in sewing!

Then you have to sew on some fabric to tie it on with. Ours are only long enough to tie in a knot, not a bow.  It is about 16-18 inches from the denim on each side.  To make the tie just cut a strip of fabric about 4 inches wide.  The fold it in half the long way and sew it together with the wrong side out.  Leave one end open.  Then turn it right side out and you are ready to sew it on.  It is sewn onto the top section of the denim.  The top of the ruffle is folded over and then zig-zagged onto the tie.

If you have any questions leave me a comment!  I am a guesser at sewing so my instructions may not be all that clear!!

Happy Crafting to You!
Easy DIY Washer Necklaces

Easy DIY Washer Necklaces

How to make custom necklaces using washers and printed paper. Easy and fun!

I've seen these necklaces a couple of different places and I knew instantly I wanted to make a few. What's that? Oh you want to make one too? Well here's how:

Supplies


  • Washers - mine were 1.5 inches
  • Scrapbook Paper
  • Pencil or Punch the same size as your washers
  • Scissors (not needed if you have the punch)
  • Exacto Knife (not pictured)
  • Mod Podge and Sponge Brush
  • Sanding Block
  • Liquid Glass/Glossy Accents (Clear liquid embellishment)
  • Leather cording

How to


  1. Trace and cut out circles the size of your washers. If you have a punch, consider yourself lucky. :) I cut out two circles for each necklace.
  2. Glue a circle onto one side of your washer. Use a semi-generous amount of Mod Podge, and make sure you get all the edges. (If you don't the clear glaze will pull up the edges as it dries.) Wipe off any extra around the sides. Let it "mostly" dry.
  3. Using the exact-o knife, cut out the center of the washer. Repeat steps 2 and 3 on the other side of the washer. Now you can let both sides completely dry.
  4. Sand down the edges and inside of the washer. This step gets rid of any imperfections in your paper cutting and the extra Mod Podge dried on the outside. To get the inner hole, I shoved a corner of my sanding block through.
  5. Squeeze the clear liquid embellishment on and spread it around so it covers the whole piece. Let dry completely. Repeat on the other side.
  6. String leather cording through... and you're done!

How to Make Cornhole Bags - Easy & Fun DIY Tutorial

How to Make Cornhole Bags - Easy & Fun DIY Tutorial

Have you ever played the game of cornhole? It's a lot of fun and catching. Making your own corn hole bags for the cornhole game is easy, fun and can save you a ton of cash. Check out this tutorial and learn how to make cornhole bags for yourself below.

Of course, you can easily buy some great cornhole bags online, but from time to time it’s fun to have a DIY project that your family and friends can enjoy! If you have a little time and the right equipment, making your own cornhole bags can be a fun challenge.

How to Play Cornhole Game?


Cornhole is a game that can be enjoyed by all. While it is easy to be acquainted with the game, it requires skill and technique to best your opponents. The game is adaptable. You can play it as a team or one on one. You can play it indoors or outdoors. All of these factors make it a super fun and timeless game.

You don’t need much to get started. All you need are a few cornhole bags and a cornhole board. Unlike other games, it doesn’t need special equipment. And now thanks to the guide above on how to make cornhole bags yourself, you can enjoy the game with home made equipment.

Players throw small bags at a board with a hole in it. Players earn points by sinking bags in the hole or landing bags on the board. A set of cornhole bags have a total of 8 bags per set, 4 each of 2 different colors.

The American Cornhole Association requires platforms be a 48" x 24" rectangle made from 1/2-inch plywood. The front of the platform stands 2-1/2 to 4 inches tall and the back of the platform sits 12 inches off the ground. The plans for this project follow those requirements.

Regulation corn bags need to be 6-inches square, made from duck canvas and be filled with two cups of corn feed.

Steps for How to Make Cornhole Bags


Cornhole bags are not made to last forever, but I have a secrets recipe to share with you that will help you get the most life and perfect play out of your bags.

Using the following instructions, you’ll be able to create regulation-size bags as set by the American Cornhole Organization.

To make a set of strong and sturdy cornhole bags, we used Cotton Duck material. It is a soft, easy-to-sew material and is strong enough to stand up to the abuse of being tossed around. The bags are sewn with a double stitch around the inner sides, according to the American Cornhole Organization’s regulations. For the stuffing inside, we used feed corn, which is traditional, but you can also use beans or plastic pellets. To have your bags regulation compliant, each bag should contain approximately 1-3/4 cup of corn to weigh between 15-16 oz.

Supplies


12 oz. duck canvas, 1/4 yard each of two colors
Quality feed corn, 15 oz. for each corn bag (or use 15 oz. dried beans)
Zipper foot
5-in-1 Sliding Gauge (optional)
Clover Point 2 Point Turner (optional)
Wonder Clips (optional)


Instructions


Step 1: Cut out sixteen 7-inch squares, 8 squares of each color.

Cut out 7” strips from two different colors of fabric with the help of a ruler and a rotary cutter. Then divide each strip into four 7” squares. You will need a total of sixteen 7” squares, 8 squares of each color. Spare about ½” of fabric on the edges for the ease of stitching.

For more precision, you should first cut out the 7”x7” on a cardboard to make a stencil. Then firmly place this stencil on the cloth, take a marker and start tracing. After measuring 8 squares, cut them out. Easy-peasy.

Step 2: Start sewing 3 sides ½ inch from the raw edges

Next up, take two pieces of fabric, line them up for sewing. Adjust your sewing machine for straight stitching at medium speed. Start sewing the sides ½ inch from the raw edges. Do a double stitching to prevent the bag from bursting while throwing around.

Fully stitch 3 sides and leave a small gap on the 4th side for filling the bag. Chop off the corners before flipping your bag inside out.

Step 3: Fill the Bag with 15 Oz of filling (Corn or Plastic)

After cutting the corners, turn the bag inside out. Use a pen or something to poke out the corners.

Next, measure 2 cups of whole corn or plastic pellets for stuffing. Use a digital scale to accurately measure out 15 Oz. of filling. Stick a wide funnel into the gap you left while stitching and start loading the corn. When done, seal the mouth with two pins as close to the edge as possible.

Step 4: Finally Stitch the open side

This is the final step of this process. This time, you will have to sew the thicker side which could be a little tricky for beginners.

Have patience, take your time and always put double stitching. Go for triple stitching if possible. Sew the entire length of the edges for a great finish. For best results, use zig-zag stitch for the final stitching if your machine has this option.

Now you're ready to get outside and throw some cornhole bags! The whole process should take at least an hour or two to cut and sew cornhole bags yourself depending on your sewing ability. Do you and your family and friends play cornhole or other yard games? What’s your favorite summertime game? Share your thoughts and stories with us in the comments!

D.I.Y- super quick & super easy bedside table makeover

D.I.Y- super quick & super easy bedside table makeover

The quickest little up-cycle job for a spare moment...really!


Now, I have to admit for this little bit of house loving & up-cycling, I originally thought you needed a very cool, simple, vintage piece to start with...which I did happen to stumble upon {!!}...but in hindsight, I actually think you could do this to any little sidey-table piece and it would look a fab!

I dropped a few bags off to our local *Vinnies*...(Oxfam, Red Cross) and thought I'd have a quick lookie in the furniture area, as they had just had a huge delivery of stuff!

I'm always on the lookout for small tables...anything that can be glammed up a bit, and plonked next to a sofa or chair, bed or bath tub!
This was just off the truck, with a wonderful solid piece of glass on top, and a lovely old-holiday-house-by-the-ocean-shape to it.

The lovely old guys hauling from the trucks out the back gave me a grin, and told me to take it, and love it...for a fiver!

Five bucks!

Done!

I took, and loved, and scrubbed, and painted!

Rust-Oleum. I love you.



Our Miss.Audrey wanted to have a mini-room makeover before her 9th birthday.
A bit of a not-so-many-little-kid-things-kinda-clean-out.
This was the perfect bed side table to get *that very specific 8 turning 9 year old look*! ;-)

OK- there's a thing about my kids rooms...they belong to my kids.
So, although I have a bit of a say in the bigger picture stuff, the feel of each of the three kids rooms is very much their own.
I love that!
It does allow me though, to indulge other styling indulgences using colourful pieces I wouldn't otherwise live with in the family spaces.


Thank god for little people under our roof.
I love a good 'pantone feeling rainbow pom-pom garland' as much as the next creative- I just couldn't live with it in the kitchen for nearly as long as I can love it in Audrey's room!

PS- how flipping cute is this letter, *typed* on a vintage typewriter with teeny fingers, when she was 7!
PPS- excuse the pickies- it was iPhone all the way with these!

Happy Up-cycling!

Cool Ten-Minute D.I.Y Artwork

Cool Ten-Minute D.I.Y Artwork

A quick...cool...fab looking D.I.Y for any room!


We are on the edge of leaping into the renovating pit...well an awesome big extension I hope!
And the house is being cleared of any *extra* stuff that apparently we can live without...hmmm!?

Can I really live without *stuff*?
This will be the making, or perhaps the undoing, of my Bower Bird ways.

We'll see.
So far I'm loving the empty walls.
But I'm keeping one feature wall of *stuff* above the sofa's. {I can't do total cold turkey decorating...}

You know empty walls reflect sooooooo much lovely light!
Yeah so did I...but I've been choosing to ignore that!
I'm loving that light!

Anyway...

As the sitting room and kitchen are starting to be stripped bare- I'm sorting all the bedrooms so the kids can spend more time in there, doing things they may have done at the dining table or kitchen bench- seeing as we'll be a few months without either.

We spent a very wet Sydney weekend re-aranging rooms, and completing quick little cool projects we'd been putting aside with the warm winter weather.
A weekend inside was just what we needed to do all our pre-reno *jobs*, and the rain sorted that!

So...

Here's a D.I.Y that takes little time for lotsa punch!

A graphic print like artwork- two seconds with a spray can and a quick break in the weather!


What you need: D.I.Y Artwork

-Ikea frame - we used a poster sized frame from the NYTTJA range in black.

-Spray paint in black- we used Rust-Oleum in Canyon Black as we had a stash in the shed.

-Large sheet of paper- torn slightly smaller that the size of your chosen frame.
 We use sheets from the MALA  roll of kids paper, again from IKEA.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Simply unwrap the frame, and use the sheet of paper in the frame, to measure your *torn off sheet* of artwork paper from the MALA roll.

In an open area, spray a huge heart, or shape of your choice, onto the MALA paper and leave to dry.

Attach the artwork to the white side of the paper that came in the NYTTJA frame.

Put the frame back together. Bung a nail in the wall. And hang.

D.O.N.E

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Happy D.I.Y-ing on a shoestring budget with no time!

This one is lotsa bang for your buck
&
as individual as you choose to make it!
The options are endless...

how to make french tote from an eco bag

how to make french tote from an eco bag

styling a supermarket eco bag into a gorgeous french-looking market tote...




an eco bag with good bones...a strong handle & lovely shape & size...

i am not a plastic bag person by any stretch of the imagination...

i can't stand to use them at the supermarket...i can't stand the kids to pack anything in them & take 

them to school...i can't stand that they have holes in the bottom of most & therefore cannot be 

justified even as bin liners...

so we just don't use them!

with all my experience of eco-bags...this one is a particularly great one!


so...

tote ready- any labels removed with a cotton picker or pair of scissors...

simple...

i have raved about these french letter stencils before- when i stencilled steel buckets {here}

& when i stencilled a vintage ladder from our village in England {here}

i have always wanted to stencil a tote-& as my sewing machine is still in transit- enjoying the 

sea air on it's voyage to Australia- i am using what i have to make what i want need...


i like to tape my number stencils to newspaper & then to the object so that there are 

no *gaps* which may end up slightly black anywhere else...

i also lined this tote with newspaper as i wasn't sure how the spray would seep through the weave...

& yep i used *fiddly bits* spray paint again that you can find {here}


instant frenchy-looking tote -made on a whim- with what i had at home...

like all the projects that are my *favourite & best*...this was super fast & sooo satisfying...

a leetle bit of the south of france markets to start out week...

hope you're inspired to sweeten up your eco-bags...



this is a little *moment* for a gorgeous new friend

that owns the most *scrumptious* shop on the beaches

french heaven

i'll be taking you all {here} soon

*Honey Bee Homewares*


introducing you to the lovely Tracey


Make it Monday

from the beaches

with a whallop of french market influence & Australian sunshine!
Get ya Easter Craft On- Day 2

Get ya Easter Craft On- Day 2

Everyone needs a Floral Easter crown...


This Easter craft is super quick...and CRAZY cute, once you have all your *bits* together.

We are making this at Audrey's 9th Birthday with her *bestie gang* from school.

I'm going to have each place sorted, and set up with all they'll each need to make their own.

I can't wait to see how they put their's together...undoubtedly I'll be sitting on my *helping hands*!!

I'll be thinking balance and they'll be thinking *go-for-it-fun*!

The girls sweet-as crowns will have a creative energy, that as party-planner,  mine will not!


What you need:

-fabric flowers...all sorts, go as simple or indulgent as you like!

-craft wire for the actual head piece {I found some in our fabric store covered in soft white fluff stuff!}

-garden ties


What to do- building that crown!

-remove all the fabric flower heads from their stems, leaving a small green end to tie onto the crown keeping the flower in firmly in place.

-measure your craft wire for the head to be crowned...

-cut to size and join so all the sharp ends are covered and tied. Lay on the table with all your inspiration {flowers, vine leaves...etc etc}

-using the green garden ties, firstly tie your vine leaves as the base and build up using your larger then smaller flowers to fill the spaces in between.

-be sure to tuck all the garden tie ends in upon themselves, so there are no sharp ends!


Put on head in your dressing gown...giggle and enjoy!

This is one of the simples, prettiest easter/birthday crafts we've done.
It's super inexpensive and almost built from what you may already have around your home!
Enjoy!
