Tag: Five on Friday

This past week flew by again! In case you missed it, I’ve started working on adding video to some of my tutorials. My first attempt at video was a huge learning process that took up a lot of my weekend and evenings. Which means I did not join nearly as many link parties this week. So this week’s 5 are from my Pinterest boards.

First up are these Easter Bunny eggs from Nifty Thrifty Things. With their crochet nests and wire ears, even a plain egg looks pretty darn cute.

Continuing with the bunny theme – I adore these Layered bunnies from Scrollsaw Woodworking & Crafts. I don’t have a scroll saw, but I do have a jigsaw and with the free pattern, I think I can make a few of these for my garden.

And one more bunny – an origami one! I can’t decide which one is cuter, the natural colored one or the one made from white paper.

If you have some orange and green paper in your scrap bag, these little drawstring carrot treat bags are pretty cute too! If you don’t have the right colors in you scrap bag, some fat-quarters would work too.

And last up – how about some washi tape Easter eggs? Drugstore Divas gave some of those plastic eggs a make-over that looks pretty fab.

I also have two projects of my own completed this week. The first one involved a quick fix for my Skechers. Anybody that has a pair of the Gosteps will tell you they are divinely comfortable, but they have one teeny little issue that I’ve fixed on my own pair. I also created another topiary for you. This one is a Toad, or possibly a frog prince. You decide!

Well that week just flew by! Here it is already Friday again and I’ve seen some gorgeous projects this week.

This week’s Featured Five:

With Easter right around the corner, I’ve been seeing some great Easter projects and crafts, like these Modern Industrial Style Concrete Eggs from The Kim Six Fix. I love the look of these eggs and I think I would leave them out year round.

Continuing with easter eggs, you have to check out these Hand Painted beauties from Craftberry Bush. They are gorgeous! I wish I had that kind of talent.

Marie from The Interior Frugalista shows us how to turn ordinary glass domes into fabulous Cloches for displaying our little treasures. Who hasn’t seen an assortment of those horrid plastic anniversary clocks at their local thrift store just begging for some upcycle love?

Paint Yourself A Smile shows us how to make a Bunny Grapevine Wreath that is adorable, but if you prefer the more rustic farmhouse look then Simply Designing has you covered with her Floral Bunny Wreath.

Have a Fabulous Weekend!

Hi Friends! What sort of plans have you got for the weekend? Myself, I’m the type who delights in planning to have no plans, but I do have a couple of projects I’m hoping to finish. I’d also like to get a start on cleaning up the yard if the weather co-operates. We will see what happens!

I’m going to start this weeks Five on Friday with these amazing Mid-Century chairs from Marie at Frugalista. All of her pieces have an amazing style that I adore, and you really should take a look at these armchairs. Marie covered them in a gorgeous retro floral that works perfectly for her MCM armchairs. You can see it >here<.

Now what about some sweet floral bunny tea towels for Easter? With a ruffled hem and pom-pom tails they’re probably more decorative than useful, but they’re too pretty to dry dishes anyhow. Flamingo Toes has the tutorial >here<, and I bet you have a couple of floral fabric scraps in your stash that would be perfect!

Then there’s these painted wooden tulips! Perfect to add a pop of color to your Easter displays and they were super cheap to make too. You can find the details >here<.

If you’re more Industrial than MCM, then you really must check out this printer cart tutorial. And who says you have to make it a printer cart? That’s the beauty of DIY, making what you need for where you need it right? You can see it >here<.

And for my last share – check out this sweet bunny collage! I am loving these button collages. Perfect for any season and a great way to use up a button stash if you’ve got one. If not, check your craft section for bags of buttons sold by color. You can see it >here<.

Happy Friday and happy crafting!
