Summer Lovin’ watermelon sign
Always having a piece of wood painted comes in handy. Especially when making this Summer Lovin’ watermelon sign. My first piece of advice when crafting is always to have square wood pieces cut, painted and ready to go. This piece is an easy make when you already have pre-painted wood blocks or boards. There are a lot of free SVG’s you can find online. I look on Pinterest and google. Find an SVG of a Watermelon, which font you want to use and watch a cute sign come together.

Celebrate Spring – DIY Wood Round Décor
Join us in creating your own Celebrate Spring – DIY Wood Round Décor. You can also turn this into a door hanging by adding two screws and wire to the back. I would recommend at least an 18″ round if you are planning on putting it on your front door. Supplies Needed: We used a 12″ round pine board that we found at the dollar store. I know you can find different sizes and types of wood at either Lowe’s or Home Depot. Michael’s also carries them. At the top of our flowers we removed the wording on their file and used our own phrase of “Celebrate Spring”. You can use the…

Repurposing an old door for the front porch
I obtained this old door through a friend’s friend. Ha-ha! That probably sounds a little confusing but somehow it ended up at my house and I thought to myself “This has potential”. Although, I didn’t know what I would end up doing with it once I got it all done I knew it would still be darling! First, I wiped and sanded the entire door down then wiped it again. Then I puttied the holes, dings and dents and let dry overnight. I then sanded the putty spots and smoothed them out. I next, taped off the center of the door and painted it gray. No, I did not put…

How many times do you see a used frame and pass it up or get rid of it because you have no use for it? This Large Gather Glass Framed Wall Décor is an upcycle! Krystal is the queen of finding treasures and when we both saw this beauty we knew it could be fabulous. Frames can be used in so many ways but this time I fell in love. Sometimes I fall in love with the things we make and it is hard to give them away. Krystal took the frame and cleaned it up then chose to paint it a light teal color. Once she chose the paint…

Octagon Bee Happy wood Signs
This project is definitely one that is fun for summer! Check out these Bee Happy wood Signs with an Emphasis on the “Bee” part. Bee’s are fun to decorate the home with especially if they are Honey Bee’s. I’ve seen a lot of bee décor pop up over the past few years and thought it would be fun to jump on board. Using any type of wood is fine for this project you will just need a saw to cut the octagon shape. Using any other shape will work too but we think the Octagon was something unique and different. The size of the sign is also up to the…

Decorative Wood Christmas Tree
Tis the season for Christmas trees! This next project came to us in the way of a gift. A miniature version of this wood Christmas tree was given to Krystal a few years ago as a gift.
