Hey, hi, hello! Today we are making the PERFECT Christmas gift – a monogrammed mug! Anthropologie always has amazing monogrammed mugs, so why not make your own exactly how you want it?! It is truly SO easy and durable if you use my secret weapon: Aleene’s amazing decoupage glue!
I made this post over a year ago, I recently realized that I never posted it, so I’m posting it now because I still love it sooo much! Okay, enjoy!
This is my first plant related post and I have a good feeling there will be a lotttt more! Anyways, plant pockets. The inspiration for this DIY was born out of just wanting some hanging plants on this one empty section of my wall, I thought about ordering some on amazon, but since plant pockets are a newer trend, I feel like most of them (at least the ones I’ve seen) seriously lack personality and uniqueness, so I became determined to make my own, and was determined to make it a super easy DIY, which is obviously a priority for me – ha!
Today I’m sharing a new tie dye technique that I learnt recently – how to use soda ash!! For those of you who don’t know (I didn’t) soda ash is used to enhance the colors of any tie dye, which is amazing and I had no idea it even existed! Basically, you soak whatever fabric you’re going to dye in a soda ash solution, then you add the dye while it’s still wet. What you’re left with are extra vibrant colors on your tie dye creation!
Today’s DIY came simply from me wanting a plant hanger for the corner of our bedroom. But, since I already have a couple macrame plant hangers in our home I wanted something different. And, if I’m being honest, I wanted something quick and easy #realtalk. Even though I have a bunch of macrame around my house and I am a DIYer I haven’t made any of it – lol! I just don’t have the patience. So, believe me when I say that this DIY is easyyyyy. I literally cut corners anywhere I could – ha!
Ahhh! I am so dang excited about this DIY!! I’ve wanted lamps for our night stands in our bedroom for a longggg time now. But, lamps are oddly expensive and I could never find something that I really loved. THEN I saw these $10 lamps at Target and I used this $300 lamp (!!!) as inspiration, and ta-da! I’ve got the cutest lamps ever and for such a cheap price!!!
