One of my favorite birthday parties we’ve ever had is my second son’s 1st birthday party, which had a Panda theme! Everyone dressed in black and white, I made Panda themed food, and we had a couple of crafty panda touches. I wrote about the party awhile back, so check the Panda Party post for details. This week, I went back and reminisced about the …

It’s officially SPRING today!  I don’t know about you, but I’m very, very ready for warmer temperatures and green grass!  Spring also makes me feel inspired and crafty.  And it makes me want to do some serious stashbusting.  But, I digress.  In honor of the first day of the season, here is a collection of springy projects and printables gathered from the far corners of …

I’ve received a lot of good news in the past few months, and it never seems to fit in to our DSC posts, so I’m just going to shout it all out right here! Want to know the cool things that have happened to us lately?

We found so many more great St. Patrick’s day crafts and tutorials, that we just couldn’t wait until next year to share them with you (don’t worry, we’ll link back to this post in next year’s roundup so you don’t lose it!).

I like Peeps crafts even more than actually eating the marshmallowy treat! Over at Mommysavers, Kimberly created a tasteful and whimsical Peeps wreath. I think the combination of brown and yellow is really inspired! Today when I was at the library with my kiddos, I saw a library window sill decorated with rows of peeps on plastic grass, which was surprisingly cute. What other cute …

No matter how many TP tube crafts I see, there will never be enough to keep up with the speed at which my stash of them grows.  If you, like me, are a saver-of-all-things-reusable, you will appreciate this adorable Easter idea from Amanda of Crafts by Amanda.  She used cardboard tubes and a few basic craft supplies that you probably already have laying around to …

Have you ever played with a bleach pen? It’s a small pen made for laundry use that contains a bleach solution that is a medium-thick gel. If you use it on dark clothing and let it set for an hour or two, you can create eye-catching one of a kind clothing. It’s a great way to give new life to old jeans that you’re tired …

If you’ve ever visited the blog of Aunt Peaches, you know that she’s got a the-funkier-the-better aesthetic to her creations.  It’s no surprise, then, that her variation on Heather’s now-infamous Mardi Gras bead chandelier is full of disco-inspired panache.  Since her ceilings are too low for a traditional chandy to hang without knocking heads, she devised a way to mount the design closer to the …

We here at DSC are suckers for the starburst/sunburst mirror look in all its many variations.  It’s no surprise then that I fell in love with this project that’s perfect for the kitchen or dining room.  Beverly at Flamingo Toes used silverware to make a gorgeous, eye-catching pattern around her mirror.  Most dollar stores carry silverware that has basic, clean lines; for a more intricate …

No party is complete without favors.  If you’re throwing a bash for St. Patrick’s Day, check out these sweet little leprechaun hat favor boxes.  They were designed by Jeromina of Paper, Plate, and Plane and posted on Canadian Living. Always one with an eye for innovative use of materials, she used something you’ve likely never considered as a craft supply to create adorable green derby …
