    Hand-Cut Rustic Christmas Wood Projects

    It may been 100 and heck degrees out­side but we have been all out Christ­mas in July this week at the shoppe! It felt so good to get on the saws and let my cre­ativ­i­ty come to light.

I have always been drawn to wood projects but these might just take the cake in the Christ­mas depart­ment. All of these projects were cut using a band­saw and a jig­saw. I’m not say­ing this is…

I used a chunky piece of can­vas fab­ric to adhere my heat trans­fer vinyl on. Fol­low…

    Thrifted Bookend Makeover with Quikrete

    A cou­ple weeks ago I grabbed these hefty book­ends at a yard sale for $3. Real­ly the whole day of hunt­ing was a bust but find­ing these beau­ties turned the day around! That real­ly is the joy in thrift­ing and hunt­ing for those unique items. I hope this thrift­ed book­end makeover will inspire you on your next trip to the thrift store.  When you’re on the hunt I sug­gest look­ing for items with “good bones” I know I prob­a­bly wear that phrase out but it real­ly is the most use­ful tip to remem­ber.

    Get the Weathered Paint Look in 3 Easy Steps

    Avid DIY’ers and crafters know what it’s like to acci­den­tal­ly dis­cov­er a tech­nique. That was def­i­nite­ly the case for this weath­ered paint look I used on the DIY gar­den ter­rar­i­um. Real­ly it was impa­tience and my messy craft­ing habits that led to the dis­cov­ery of this tech­nique, but it real­ly did work out in my favor. What I mean by weath­ered paint is that nat­ur­al chip­py-ness and peel­ing paint look on old wood pane win­dows or doors that have years of wear and tear and lay­ers of paint. Yeah, that’s the good stuff we are going for here. Here is what…
