I'll begin by saying that I love this project and if you have a lot of wine corks laying around like I do, this is the cutest thing to make! 
This wasn't my idea, I ran across a bunch of inspiration pins on Pinterest.
I'm making my own red, white, and blue version for the summer holidays. 
So grab some wine corks and follow along, it's easy! 

Do you drink wine and collect wine corks? 
Or do you have a good friend that does and she sends you all her corks? 
I am happy to say that my cork collection came from a little of both! 
Today I'm making a fun project recycling just some of my stash! 

A while back I made a fun project using a whole bunch of wine corks I had been saving. The project was a wine cork trivet but as some projects go, it sat around for a while and I repurposed it. 

On a recent trip to the craft store I saw this package of mushrooms that I thought would be adorable with a stick in them for my plants.  Problem was that they were about $10 and I'm a little cheap so I wanted to figure out how to make them myself.

Today I'm making stars from a repurposed wooden roller shade I took down a while back. This was a super fun project with a surprise for even me at the end! ...

I have a lot of wine corks laying around this year, I'm sure many of you do after this crazy year! Today I'm going to show you how to make them into an apple for your favorite teacher. 

Wine corks are easy to come by and make great projects! I like using them for many DIY projects including these fun ideas.

I love to create with found materials.  Several years ago I bought a bag of small silver springs from a garage sale. They looked like they may have been some kind of place card holder. 

Today I'm giving a quick look at my new kitchen and an easy upgrade to my cutting boards.  I've had a problem with my cutting boards sliding around the countertop lately so I gave them a quick update! ...

Sometimes you have to take a second look...

Here's a project that will take you from Christmas through the winter. 
I'm making a repurposed cabinet door into a charcuterie cutting board in just a few easy steps. 
The design on this project can be whatever you want so not seasonally specific. 
I'm using an adorable tree stencil, come take a look...

Finally a use for all these corks!

I can not take credit for this cute idea but I'm going to put my own spin on it and put it out there for everyone looking to decorate a tiered tray or fill a bowl with decorations for summer and the Fourth of July. 

Another labor of love project for me today! 
I'm creating velvet mushroom ornaments to hang on a small Christmas tree. 
They make great gifts or package decorations and can be sewn or not sewn and decorated in several different ways. 
Take a look...

Here's a fun and easy project for Valentine's Day and you might have most of the supplies at home. 
Hang these cute wooden tassels on hooks, hang on a tiered tray, or maybe you even have a Valentine's Day tree! 
Take a look...

If you love American flag inspired projects like I do then follow along! 
I'm including 10 of my all time favorite flag projects in this post. 
When I say American flag inspired, I mean red, white and blue, stars & stripes and all of it!

I love using driftwood to create summer projects and my recent beach vacation was the perfect place to start.

I spent hours walking the beach and collecting driftwood on the ocean in Montauk while my husband fished.

I got a great tan and a bag-full of beautiful driftwood. 
While I was perusing the gift shops, I saw a hanging driftwood fish and knew I could create a similar one with all the great driftwood I just collected. 

When I returned home from vacation I dumped out my treasures on a table and lined the driftwood up in the shape of a fish. 

Using a very thin drill bit, I drilled a hole in the center of each stick. 

I began stringing the pieces on a length of fishing line I found on the beach. 
You can find almost everything you need for this project on the beach! 
Between each of the driftwo…

If you've been following for a while you know I love to make pumpkins out of anything!

You may remember the wine cork trivetmade from wine corks and held together with a plumbing clamp.

Turn thrift store bottles into spooky decorations in minutes!


I'm using jars and bottles found for next to nothing in the thrift store and a package of clear Halloween stickers from Michaels.



I created fun elixir bottles for Halloween decorating.


Add your own potions or favorite plastic props to the bottles.
Maybe a few spiders or an eyeball or two? 

and your Halloween mantel decorating ideas are in the bottle!
