DIY Pressed Flower Prints

It started with the flowers.
I unexpectedly found myself turning back to look at them again on a recent trip to the store. The colors, the scent, and the symbolic promise that spring is not too far away drew me in and I was overwhelmed with the need to take some home with me. I decided to press some of the flowers to make wall art. All you need is some paper of your choice and glue.

DIY Dip Dye Candles

 
I have too many candles.
Really, they are all over my house. Each one is scented, and makes my home smell like the sea, a barn, a forest. Candles burning beautifully and setting an ambiance in the room is so important for my mood; when I’m entertaining, reading, or taking a bubble bath. But sometimes, I don’t want the fragrance, I just want the flame. I decided to take some basic white, unscented candles, and make them more me by dip dying them. Check out the how-to below:

Henna & Wood Burned Pumpkins

Pumpkin season is here, and now is the time to start decorating!

Something different I’ve noticed this year are all of the light indigo colored pumpkins and gourds– they are beautiful! A muted shade of blue with little specks of white showing through…these have got to be my favorite ones of the season. It’s always fun to come up with new ways to decorate them, and I’m really excited to share this DIY with you all. I’ve carved,painted, and decoupaged pumpkins before, but never did I think to incorporate henna and wood burning techniques until now. Here’s how to put a unique twist on holiday pumpkin decorating!

Decorating With Fall Foliage

Fall. A season we all anticipate, but one that feels so fleeting.

It seems as soon as the official first day of the season hits, the leaves are nearing their peak. Soon there will be more foliage on the ground than adorning the branches of the trees. Those bright, autumnal hues of orange, crimson, and gold are ones I always wish to hold on to for just a little while longer.

Today I’m sharing three ways to do just that. When the leaves have nearly all fallen, bring a few indoors to make the gorgeous, color-filled days of autumn truly last the length of the season.
