Pinterest Projects

So, you all know how much I LOVE Pinterest, right? It's been my go to for new recipes for the past month or so, my inspiration for cute outfits that I can put together for fall and most recently, it's been my how-to guide on craft projects that I can do at home. If you know me at all, you know that I am SO not crafty. I would love to be, but I'm just not. So, when I first started looking at these DIY craft projects on Pinterest, I was inspired, but very overwhelmed.

Then I spotted a wreath, made from a styrofoam wreath form, yarn, some felt for the flowers and those cute fall-colored picks that you can find at craft stores. I thought that it looked simple enough and decided to head to Hobby Lobby, armed with my 40% off coupon and a picture of the original wreath and started looking for my supplies.

I came home and began, and about 2 hours later, I finished with this little beauty:
Cute, huh?!

So, then last week, I pinned another great idea. It was a tutorial on how to turn a printed or enlarged picture into a canvas-type photo. If you've ever ordered those picture canvases from a professional photographer, then you know how expensive they are. I love the look of them, but not the price. When I saw this idea, it looked simple enough for someone like me to tackle. My friend, Olivia, (who is SUPER crafty) came over and did the project with me. I absolutely loved how they turned out! I still have to add the ribbon to the back of the pictures and get them hung up, but they are so nice and something that I will always cherish!

And here are how mine turned out! Love, love them!




Are you on Pinterest? If so, what are some of your favorite things you've made or done that you found on there? I'd love to hear! Have a great weekend everyone!
