How To Make a Bed Skirt Using Dental Floss

I love to have pretty bed skirts on our beds, and I bet you do, too. If you have shopped for bed skirts, then you probably know they come in all different colors, sizes, qualities, and prices. Just so I can have the colors and quality that I want, I have started making the bed skirts for the beds in our home. I prefer the gathered look rather than the pleated look because that fits my decorating style better. I learned an easy tip to make the gathers easier to sew, and it involves dental floss. Let me show you how.

DIY Glass Dome Cloches

I have always thought glass dome cloches were beautiful and love how they highlight special treasures. Using a cloche is like giving a beloved photo a frame. Because I don't have any, I decided to make my own. They turned out so beautiful and were easy and inexpensive.

Farmhouse Thrift Store Upcycle

Who doesn't love a great thrift store find?! Whenever I get the chance to go to the local "Bargain Barn", I am never disappointed. This time around, I found a large mirror on sale, but I wasn't loving the frame. Nothing a little paint and elbow grease can't fix!

Brianna

Tomato Cage Cloche

The cloche adds a bit of whimsy to your display pieces. Whether fairy lights or plants, they beg you to take a closer look and see what’s inside. They also protect delicate treasures from well-meaning but overly curious noses (watch the video at the bottom of this project to see why...). Make a farmhouse style version with a tomato cage and chicken wire.

DIY Dollar Tree Double Tier Tray

Yep!!! I did it! I made a popular home decor piece. If you would scan Instagram or Pinterest you will see many photos of tier trays. If you have ever shopped for one of these you know they are pricey. I have one that I purchased and I still want another one. So I took one day and made a double tier tray by using mostly Dollar Tree items with a few things that I had on hand.A lot of people have tutorials making their trays out of candle holders, pizza pans, toilet plunger, pie pans and picture frames. It is neat to see all the different styles.

Revamp an Old Patio Umbrella With This DIY Painted Umbrella Makeover

Often, household items past their prime end up in landfills and trash bins. This doesn’t have to be the case! I had a very old faded sun umbrella that was headed for the trash. While it was quite old, it was still in great shape, so I decided to spruce it up a bit for the summer! With a bit of paint, I was able to not only save this umbrella from the trash, I was also able to take it to the next level and brighten up my garden. Even better, this project only takes a bit of time and money to complete. Want to see how I did it? Follow my step-by-step tutorial below!

Tomato Cage Plant Stand

Hi! Im Kera! If you enjoy my content I would love to connect with you over on my BLOG where I share easy woodworking projects, home inspiration and real-time DIY!If you have been around my Instagram account for any amount of time you probably know that I am a brave NEW houseplant mama. For years, Y-E-A-R-S, I brushed off my potential to fervently keep anything alive except my 4 small children. Now that they are getting a tad older and semi - self sufficient I decided that 2020 would be the year that I take on the loving care of something new.Well, let me tell ya. Im kind of a go big or go home kind of person and I’ve accidentally (on purpose) acquired a total of 6 (!) houseplants in the past month. Yep. I said MONTH.In this past month I have managed to give them all of my plant babies names, decorative homes and I’ve also downloaded an app to keep track of their care/watering schedule. I’m an overachiever, I know.The latest grouping of plants were purchased less than a week ago with a little bit of money that my husbands grandparents sent for my recent birthday. In this trip I was looking for plants for a few specific places in my home, one being a taller tree—like plant that I could use to fill an empty space on my back porch in the summer, then bring it in for winter.

Glue to hold rocks together

Pennymclaughlin2

I want to make a sculpture of sorts with favorite rocks that I have collected. I have tried several different types of glues with no luck so far. The main problem is that they do not hold together fast enough without holding them together somehow as they dry because they will not be flat sides I want to hold together. Does anyone know how fast Gorilla glue takes to be stabilize so I can go onto the next rock? Thanksy so much, Penn
