A super-easy idea for your airplants. Make an air plant planter (or cake stand 😂) using a $1 terracotta pot and pot tray). You may have seen this trick with plates and cups and we love it using terracotta.

We've pulled this project out of the vault today because lately it has become one of our more popular pins on our Pinterest account. It's so easy and can be made literally in about 5 minutes if you don't paint it, but even if you did, not very long.  Also they're super in-expensive to make, so if you needed a bunch for an event, these would be a good alternative to buying. The result, two candlestick stands, two wooden plaques, a glue gun and a little paint later, we have ourselves a couple of cake stands!

After all the cakes we've been making around here lately, we realized we were in need of a few more cake stands.  Ends up, they're super expensive, so we headed out to our local craft store to find something cheap, cheerful and hopefully a project we could make really really fast.  The result, two candlestick stands, two wooden plaques, a glue gun and a little paint later, we have ourselves a couple of cake stands! And pink too!

I guess it would be nice to always have a clear counter top, but because of our small space living, busy life, a clear counter top is not always possible nor practical. We've been tucking our paper towels into drawers, or on a shelf, in the pantry, and it's always so inconvenient when you really need one. Where are those paper towels? So we caved and created this little project. So simple to make too!

What you'll need:
1" diameter wooden dowel (13 " long)
4" diameter wooden round plaque
1" copper end cap
glue gun
saw (to cut dowel) or get pre cut at hardware store
miter 
brass coloured spray paint (optional)

Oh spring! Seems it can't come soon enough.  To survive till it does arrive, flowers are my jam. It's always a happy day when the tulips and bulbs like hyacinths and daffodils show up at our local grocer. Taking cue from the Scandinavians, I repotted some in jars this year which makes for a nice little pick-me-up five minute project! A sweet little DIY to make for yourself or to give as a spring gift!

Don't have enough nice display pots? Need a temporary solution? Or maybe you just want to gift someone a little thank you plant. Turn those black plastic planter pots into something a little more presentable in just five minutes!

I had this idea for a while and finally decided to do it. It’s super easy (because that’s what I’m about) and spices up a boring mug with some simplistic, classy, fun style (because that’s also what I’m about).

I picked up these mugs at my local department store for cheepo, and the spray paint for just a few bucks, too. In 5 minutes you can can put some darn beautiful, matte-gold love in your kitchen cabinets. Yes, coffee tastes better in them.

Yesterday I mentioned I was going to show you how I made these gift tags - and well here it is as promised. It's super easy and really not a DIY but maybe more on the idea/inspiration side of things? Making a gift tag is fairly simple, in fact I've been known to just freehand cut one when I'm in a pinch, but if you'd like to make one that looks a little more special –grabbing a template and some nice card stock is a good little trick and one I used for my Mom's gift this year. I never really thought about templates until recently and now I'm wondering what I did without them.

Inspired by Anna of (Door Sixteen's) paint job on her sofa in her Brooklyn apartment, and a few other hand painted legs I've seen about; I had one of those light bulb moments mimicking the look using washi tape (a fun 5-minute DIY)!  Sometimes a semi-permanent solution is a good alternative if you're quite not sure about paint color or if you're like me and look forward to the idea of switching things up once in a while. (The LAPPLJUNG FÅGEL cushion is courtesy of IKEA from this past weekend's #Blend Event. A big shout out to all those ladies and their hard work on a great event. Also a big thank you to Omiyage for the neon washi tape!)!
