We went shopping this weekend for paint at the Home Depot. While I did come home with a lovely shade of Behr June Berry, I also picked up these curtain rings!
I cut the fabric into narrow strips and fed them through the eyelet that was already attached to the ring and tied a knot! This allowed to work with a sturdy base rather than trying to balance out the gluegun with the shape of the ring.
This is my favourite one I made. A simple bow, a jute bow and a few cut stems of berry from my centerpiece wreath.
Simple and sweet. I would choose this one if I had a plate and charger that had busier patterns.
This one was to be a spin off of the Plastic Bag Wreath but it didn't quite go the way I wanted. I was going for a puff ball look, but this one turned out even better than what I expected.
They were so easy to make with next to no cost involved.
Last week's challenge from DIY with Three Series was the Plastic Bag Wreath using three supplies of plastic bags, a wire coat hanger and fabric/ribbon.
The challenge has been pinning like crazy on Pinterest with a few peeps completing the challenge too!

I completed a fun project to showcase my girls pictured together. I wanted to be sure I tied in the fabric I used, together with the rest of the room. I love how it all came together!
Simple, economical and cute!
The frame I found at a local thrift shop for $2. It had an awful looking picture in it but the frame was a great condition. After spray painting in black, I lightly sanded the edges to give it a light, chippy feel. Luckily, the frame was already painted gold {yikes!}, so the sanding affect was easy to acheive.
The fabric was a piece left over from my big livingroom window curtains from IKEA! I stapled it to the back of the fabric and the last little bit of the fabric made some rolled flowers to add to the corner of the small frame.
The smaller inside frame I picked up from the Dollar Store. Picking my favourite pic of my girls together was a tough one and I wanted just the right one. The frame was so easy to hang, as there was already a small hook in place that was already centered.
You know the wood text you can pick up from the local Dollar Store or craft store? Painted black and hot glued to the frame, she is finished!

Interested in completing weekly challenges for yourselves using limited supplies called
with the DIY with Three Series.
The first challenge was to use plastic bags, a wire coat hanger and pastel ribbon or fabric.
I knew I wanted to make a wreath for spring. I had seen lots of variations of ones a few years back online, so this was the perfect opportunity to make one!
Shape your coat hanger in the shape of a circle.
Cut your plastic bags in stips about an inch thick and about 5 inches in length.
Start tieing them around the coat hanger. I kept my ties snug because I wanted a fuller looking wreath.
Once your have tied all of your plastic strips, place it on your wall and start to trim back strip that seem too long and are out of place.
Add a bow or strip of fabric, choose the center for placement or off center like the one I made.

Here is my favourite image for inspiration, which also happen to be from Shannon and Dean from AKA Design too.
My daughter's bedroom was in major need of a freshening up! Gone is the pink, purple is the new trend for her!
I never realized how many holes and push pin marks a wall could actually have. Proof is in the picture of how many mud spots to fix them. Hubs. He is such a trooper.
Here is the finished colour of paint. Its called Lovely Lavender by Behr, stain blocking, paint and primer in one. I absolutely love Behr. Their paint applies so easily and is so smooth to work with. I was able to bypass applying primer first. All I needed was one coat plus touch ups and it was finished! Paint and primer in one is the bomb. Seriously!!
