How to Organize Glitter and Twine with Washi Tape

I've been starting to not like my bookshelf lately, so decided to do

a bit of cleaning, organizing, purging and prettying it up a bit. 

I've had a few rolls of bakers twine in these handy shaker glass cups 

for awhile now...but have entirely way too many rolls of twine to contain

each one, so I picked a few of my 'go-to' colors and added a bit of coordinating 

Washi Tape to jazz up the jars a bit. I love how the rolls stay nice and neat and

you can pull out as much or as little as you need. I tried using the large sugar

shaker jars like this but found that the twine would get caught and I ended up 

just ripping off the little sugar flap anyway. 

I also was tired of my old labeling system for my Embossing Powder

and Glitter. I used to have a hanging tag attached on each corner but 

they would get flipped or bent in moves...so when in Rome (or Minot)

what better time to #Washi than now, right?!

I pulled out a tiny set of letter stamps, and inked them up with 

Black Momento Ink. To get a nice straight stamped word, I

ripped off pieces of Washi Tape and placed them on a glass

cutting board. The Washi peeled off perfectly and stuck

straight onto the little reusable plastic containers. 

Each container has it's own plastic spoon for ease of shaking

the embossing powder or glitter onto whatever image I'm working

on at the moment. The extra powder or glitter is easily tapped

 off and falls right back into the container, no mess, no fuss!

 I've almost finished with the rest of the shelves and love

how 'pretty' they look now! 

How do you store your bakers twine? Embossing Powder? or Glitter?

I'd love to see!

DIY Paint and Sticky Vinyl

I got my 'paint on' and accomplished this project that has been on

my to-do list for quite some time now. My punch wall is actually a thick 

piece of painted MDF with IKEA hardware, perfect for displaying my

wide assortment of punches that I use frequently. Since we move every

couple of years, I wanted it to be easy to start unpacking my office space

and the punches take up quite a bit of space if they are in drawers. Not to

mention, if you can't see them, you forget you have them! So I'm a 

huge cheerleader for using wall space in an office/studio.

I love the Stampin' Up! Sizzix Die Cut called "The Top Note", so free

handed the shape out in pencil after taping up where I wanted the create

vinyl saying to go. I painted two coats around the sides before filling

in the middle, waited for it to dry and then carefully placed the vinyl.

It's perfectly imperfect and I love the pop of green in my very white

studio space! A super quick and easy project to add a little smile 

to any room, you could also do this on a smaller piece of wood,

for ease of moving or hanging above a doorway, etc.

DIY Letter Tile Ornaments

I picked up a bag of scrabble tiles from our local thrift shop for just 25 cents and knew exactly what I wanted to use them for! My two older 'littles' helped me spell out all sorts of Christmas words and their names one night and the next day we glued, stuck and made each one unique! The perfect project for their winter break from school and they loved picking out items for each ornament.

An easy DIY project that even little ones can help with!

What you'll need:

wooden scrabble tiles

popsicle sticks

twine, ribbon or pipe cleaners (for hanging)

hot glue gun, glue sticks

jingle bells, felt, pom poms, buttons

(pretty much anything in your craft stash)

Have fun being creative!!

Christmas Advent Calendar

This year, I wanted to make an easier advent calendar for my

three big littles, so I scrounged up some holiday paper, pulled out

my stamps, punches, washi tape, bakers twine, clothespins, 

small clear bags and got to work. 

Since I of course waited till the last minute, a quick

search online brought me to Just A Girl and Her Blog,

where she has a set of wonderful and free printable 

scripture verses for each day.

You can find the Bible verses HERE from

Just A Girl and Her Blog

We clipped the verses on top of each bag everyday

and my kids LOVED opening and reading each one!

Next year I'm starting to prep for Christmas in July!
