Coffee Filter Lamp Shade

I bought this lamp shade awhile back at the Goodwill and have been waiting to put coffee filter ruffles on it. Well with lots of help from my two girls, we knocked it out.

Here's a before pic of the lamp shade:

I thought it was a little bigger for that lamp base so I switched it with my stand up lamp shade and that balanced it out and looked better

I went the dollar tree and picked up two pkgs of coffee filters I think they have 160 in each pkg and I only ended up using one pkg. It looks bigger in person than in the picture. But over all I loved how it turned out.

 Hope you enjoyed your christmas!

Headband Holder Diy

My girls headbands are always all over the place. I wanted to make something that they could keep them together. I had an oatmeal container and a candlestick holder, and some scrap tissue paper.

Cut the tissue paper to the size of the container

then I mod podged it on (let it dry)

Hot glued the candlestick to the bottom of the container



That's it.....now you can also use the inside of the container for other hair accessories.

Have a wonderful evening.



Recycled Store Hangers

Recycled Store Hangers:

This was my inspired picture I found on Pinterest a few weeks back

This is all I did:

I had bought my girls an outfit from walmart the other day and thought about using them for my boots. I only had two but that would work for now.

I just broke of the ends of the hanger and hot glued it to the bottom part of the hanger that will hold the boots

I wanted it to look cute so I hot glued this rosette flower to the hanger and also it covered up all of the broken pieces from the top hanger

............and there you have it a recycled store hanger

........for my boots!



Christmas Tour 2011

Its Beginning to look alot like christmas at our house.......

Here is our christmas tour of our home. Enjoy

Our Kids hanging out coloring and eating a late dinner. My son likes sitting on my table for so reason! He's cool I guess! Ha!

I had this wreath and it was green and I just spray painted it white and you can still see the green so the white looks like its snow.

I added some shrub pieces from my yard on the mantel free and easy

We started this Tradition with our kids. Wrapping books up for a count down til christmas comes.

We open a book each night til christmas is here. The kids enjoy reading the books to us all.

Merry Christmas from our family to yours

We are enjoying have all of the decorations up slippin on hot chocolate and listening to christmas music.

Christmas Trees

My daughter and I went to the Salvation Army today and found some cute christmas trees to decorate and put in my kids rooms.  My son's had more work to do on it but it was fun to redo the tree. I made it a little bigger and taller. The end results are awesome. They are enjoying having a christmas tree in their rooms.

My son's Tree

Before this poor thing

I made it a little taller by adding some brown paper on the top of the tree and wrapped tree tinsel around the whole tree and had to hot glue some of the pieces and pushing out some of the tree underneath so I could hang things on the tree.

I used this plastic container I had recycled and hot glue it to the bottom of the tree and help it stand up better

Here's a close up pic of the small tree I had these wooden stars and just hot glued them on the tree.

Here it is with the lights beautiful.........

Here's my girls tree

These were the girls first christmas ornaments they got when they were babies

Hope you are enjoying decorating around your home this christmas!
