Candy Jars

These were super easy! I had some wide mouth "Ball" jars, one tall and one short, and lids in my basement! So I went to Salvation Army and found two Candle stands and some chess peices. Glue the chess pieces on the jar lids with a really sturdy glue! I use, E-6000 industrial strength glue! (photo below) I spray painted the candle stands and lids black! Then glue (E-6000) the jars onto the candle stands! Put candy in jars that match the holiday! Now you have an awesome home decor, but Holiday decor also!

Pallet Front Door Mat

I started with just a pallet! Spencer broke off the bottom blocks for me so that it would sit lower and flat! I hammered in all the nails and giant staples! I then sanded the whole thing.

Then I stained the whole thing with an old fashioned color stain. After the stain dried over night, I traced a big "C", for Chamberlain, onto the bottom right corner! After that dried over night, I clear sprayed on top of the whole thing!
Then put it out front! It really was a fast project, even though it took a few days drying time!
I love love love it!

Subway Art

Family Rules Subway art! I just added ribbon to frame! Bathroom Subway art with ribbon and flowers on frame! I just love these! For both of the above, I just googled "Family Rules Subway art" and "Bathroom Subway art" and I just found some that I liked! There are different ones for different preferences!

Clothes Pins

After I did Emma's Chore chart, I still had 42 clothes pins left over! I decided to modge podge them all with fun colored paper! So now I can use them for Preschool stuff and for other fun craft things! Thank you to my mom for the tote of all the scraps of fun paper!

Dinner Menu

You can print out the week paper HERE!
I printed it on just a grey cardstock paper, but some fun colored cardstock would be fun! I cut it down to a 8X10 and bought a plain black 8X10 picture frame! Put the paper in the picture frame and decoratde the frame with the Fabric Flowers that I gave a Tutorial on in the post below! I made them yellow to match my kitchen. I then planned out the week menu, using this printout HERE!
Then you can just write out the dinner items on the picture frame glass with a dry erase marker! And place it in your kitchen! I love it because I can plan out our week and by doing so, we are saving money on groceries because when I go and just buy everything we eat, then just decide nightly what to eat, but this way I just go to the store to get what I need for the week! It is great!

Fabric Flowers

Fabric Flowers supplies:

*one strip of fabric measuring at 1 inch by 10 inches

*hot glue

here we go:first you will need to get your fabric cut to 1 inch by 10 inches. (it doesn't have to be perfect we're going for wonky)

dab a little bit of hot glue at the end of your strip and fold in half.

secure.dab another bit of hot glue and fold in halfdab a little bit of hot glue to the end again...this time you are going to fold over like the picture below. (fold down instead of in half again)

now you are going to twist your fabric a littleand dab a little bit of hot glue to the "base"i like to make sure my fabric is twirled a little on the tighter side(but not too tight!). this will make your flower smaller and tighter.

continue to twist and twirl your fabric all the while adding a dab of hot glue to secure your new twist to the last twist.

when you get your flower as big as you want it (making sure you leave a little bit of a tail)add some hot glue to the bottom of your flower and fold and secure your tail at the bottom of your flower flat.
