It's Mother's Day here today and I thought I would share a quick little project I did for the Mother's in my family. The original idea wasn't mine but I gave it my own twist. I found it on, where else Pinterest. I'm a big fan of plants or flowers, something nature inspired and if I can make a container myself to put them in, all the better. Bonus brownie points for me!!

I found it on, where else Pinterest. I'm a big fan of plants or flowers, something nature inspired and if I can make a container myself to put them in, all the better. Bonus brownie points for me!! First step find a few cans of tuna. Remove the lids and empty them and take off the paper. Pick up a pack of clothes pins from your nearest dollar store Get a stain pen from your local hardware store- I luckily already had one. Use it to colour your clothes pins. Clip the pins around the edge of can Purchase some herbs and put in a small mason jar, Put the jar inside the clothes pin case. Make a sign using chalkboard paper or stickers and attach to the outside with another clothes pin Finishing touch make a simple homemade card and you have a personalized gift for the favourite mums in your life HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all you fellow mum's out there. I hope you had as wonderful day as I did.

Time for a quick DIY, only took me ten minutes. My friend Lisa sent me a pin the other day (from Pinterest) our addictive friend! It was for a mousepad makeover. Yes there is such a thing! I didn't have a mouse pad at my desk so I thought why not. I happened to a have a small piece of fabric that I hadn't found a use for yet and an old unused mousepad (free from a work seminar- and not very exciting) So I took a trip to Michael's and picked up some heat 'n' bond. Step 1- Find an old mousepad or a piece of corkStep 2- Find your favourite fabricStep 3- Pick up some "Heat 'n' Bond" at craft or fabric store and follow instructions to iron on back of fabricStep 4- Once the bond is attached to fabric, peel backing and then iron over the top again to adhere to the mousepadFinished project- my personalized union jack desk accessoryIf you take a look at good old Pinterest there are so many great ideas using fabric, paint and even duct tape. Pick one or make up your own and jazz up your desk. |
