DIY Halloween: Flying Bats
One decoration I saw on Pinterest more than any other was the bat decals in various patterns on mantles, walls, and porches. Basically anywhere you can stick a bat there is a Pinterest pin for it! I looked for the decals on Etsy and Amazon and while the prices aren’t super high for them, I knew that I could do them for cheaper. I have been meaning to do this project for a few years now and I am so glad I finally got around to it! If you recreate this tag me in your photos over on Instagram! DIY Halloween: Flying Bats Supplies: Black paper (make sure it’s not…

DIY Christmas Sweater
Who doesn’t love a good Christmas sweater?! When I was younger, I put my degree in Costume Design to good use and created an EPIC ugly Christmas sweater for a party that my friends and I used to have yearly. This is a project I did last year but never got around to sharing it so I thought this year is as good as any! I did this project in one afternoon, it is kind of involved with all the cutting and gluing but I put on a good audiobook and went to town. This sweater turned out better than what I imagined and I will be rocking it again…

DIY Halloween: Character Blocks
This has to be my favorite craft project of the bunch. These little character blocks turned out so cute! I hope you give them a try! Here’s what you’ll need: Square wooden dowel Acrylic paint (black, white, orange, green, purple) A piece of stick from the outdoors (for the jack-o-lantern stem) Black pipe cleaners Paintbrush Hot glue/hot glue gun Cut 5 2″ pieces from the wooden dowel.

DIY Halloween: Candle Holders
The inspiration for this project came from Pinterest! I think the glow of candles instantly makes things feel cozy which is what you want this time of year! I used these glass hurricane candle holders that I picked up at the dollar store but a mason jar would work just as well! These flameless candles are from Amazon! Here’s what you’ll need: Hurricane candle holder or mason jar Frosted glass spray paint Black acrylic paint Paintbrush Flameless candle Wash and completely dry your candle holders. In a well-ventilated area (I did this in my garage with the doors open) follow the instructions on the spray paint canister and frost the…

DIY Cozy At Home Spa Night
I have been to only a handful of spas in my life, but every experience always leaves me so relaxed. This year has really thrown us all a curveball and one of my favorite ways to try and forget about my worries for a while and relax is to do an at home spa night. Today I thought it would be fun to share how I put one together and share some DIY’s for the ultimate spa experience at home! The first step to any great spa night is to create the spa like atmosphere. I am fortunate enough to have a dimmer for the lights in my bathroom but…
