DIY STRAW TAGS + LABELS

Good morning bloggers and blogettes! And Happy New Years Eve!

I wanted to share with you how I created the labels for the straws and for the desserts for the Ugly Mug Exchange we had at our home a couple of weeks ago.

It was a fun way to add a custom touch and some fun to the party!

DIY Straw Tag: Inspiration

Postcards and Pretties

Materials:

1. Printer Paper (yeah, I'm cheap, next time I would use cardstock paper)

2. Hole Punch

3. 2" Circle punch or some sort of a rounded edge punch

They (Postcards and Pretties) used an embosser for the logo on the cardstock. Looks much more professional. You could also use a stamp or stickers even! I printed out the message on my computer.

Instructions:

1. Print tags out with the "wallet" size setting so that the paper will print nine at a time on one page:

I used this photo, edited it and then typed in my own words to create my own tags:

2. Cut out logo with the circle punch:

Notice how my circle punch wasn't large enough to include the red outline? Oh well...

3. Use your hole punch to punch two holes, one at the top and one at the bottom of the circle:

4. Thread your straw through the holes and you're done! Easy peasy!

For the dessert labels I basically edited the photos, printed the tags, cut and pasted to some poster paper and then folded:

Have a great day! Coming up soon I'll post about the desserts and photo booth!

DRESSER TURNED TV STAND MAKEOVER

Tonight, I am so excited to share with you what hubby has been working on for the last few months in his spare time. Let me preface by saying that we've had our TV hanging on the wall above our fire place since we purchased it about a year ago. And though I liked it there and it fit well, it wasn't exactly what I had in mind. You see, while the TV is on and you're sitting on the sofa curled up in a warm blanket drinking hot tea, you can't have the gas fireplace running. Not only do I use the TV for viewing movies and television shows, but I listen to a lot of music through it. I love our fireplace but would love it more if I could use it! So to solve that problem I was on a mission to find a nice TV stand. After searching online and finding a lot of great furniture options, I realized I didn't really want to spend any money. We had a dresser gifted to my husband years ago that we were planning on selling or donating but I really wanted to find a new u

DIY HOMEMADE MOD PODGE

We all know how expensive Mod Podge is at the craft store, right? And since there are so many projects which use it, I thought I could find a homemade version online . Love pinterest ! This is seriously the easiest DIY project I have ever done. Supplies: A Jar (I rescued an empty Tostitos Creamy Spinach Dip Jar YUMMM which was on its way out to be recycled) Elmer's White Glue (I used two 4 fl oz bottles) Water Before I made the Mod Podge, I washed out the jar and spray painted the lid silver. I also took off the label from the jar and did my best to get rid of all of the adhesive (first tried a paper towel and rubbing alcohol, but it didn't work and then I tried olive oil and it worked like a charm). Instructions: Empty glue into jar Fill the empty glue bottle with water and pour into the new jar with the glue (Ideally, you want 50% glue and 50% water) Shake, Shake, SHAKE the jar That's it! You have made homemade mod pod

DIY BOOKCASE REVEAL

This has been a long time coming. Mostly because I have been putting it on the back burner for, oh, 6+ months? Hubby actually built it back in November/December-ish and it has taken me this long to finish painting. Oh well. My thought for the office was to have something light in color and a little modern and I found the Expidit bookcase from IKEA online. via I liked the design but thought maybe having a back behind the shelving would be good. Hubby said he would build it for me so I gladly let him! I didn't take too many photos because hubby isn't a fan of being in photos. Here is what I have, so take a look! This was my bookshelf for the longest time. You can see that most shelves are painted except the very bottom and the right side of the bookcase. See how hubby added a trim on all of the horizontal pieces? It gives it a bit of character and I really like it! So, after using the bookcase for a bit, I thought it nee
