I love that fall decor is traditionally full if all kinds of natural elements that go along with harvest season. And I have always been a big fan of corn husk crafts, ever since I learned how to make corn husk dolls as a child. One of the best parts about crafting with corn husks, besides the fact that they look cool, is …

I recently made some votive candles using items from Dollar Tree.  My sons liked my rocky votive so much that I thought I’d try to make a frame to go with the candle.  I really like the end result.  It’s rugged and perfect for an outdoor patio or a man cave.  Plus, it’s really easy and inexpensive to make, so you could easily make several …

If your decor tastes run toward the rustic, then you probably appreciate the patina of rusted metal.  Want the look without having to wait for things to age?  Then try your hand at a little faux finishing!  Colleen from Just Paint It! gave theses items – found at the thrift store and dollar store – a rusty-looking finish using only a little paint.  Would you …

Dollar Tree always has lots of fun, seasonal decorative pieces, and it’s pretty easy to “take them up a notch” so they look more high end.  I liked the color and shape of these leaf bowls, so I glammed them up with glitter paint.  The paint I used is full of ultra fine glitter, but you could accomplish something similar with glitter and glue if …

One of the quickest ways to add a little seasonal cheer to a room is with throw pillows. They are easy to make, inexpensive, and often an be whipped up in a matter of minutes!

We love Anthro-inspired mirror projects.  (See exhibit A, exhibit B.)  This gorgeous specimen by KariAnne at Thistlewood Farms is no exception!  Taking inspiration from a $248 Anthropologie mirror, her version cost a scant $19 to create and has just as much impact even at a fraction of the price!  This idea could be used to arrange as many or as few mirrors as you want, …
