Framed Moss Monogram {Tutorial}

I'm sure by now everyone has Spring fever! Down here in the South, last week's pollen was incredibly thick and everything was a bright green color. Then came a much needed heavy downpour that really helped to wash everything off. My azaleas are blooming, the trees are all a beautiful bright green and some people have already had to mow their grass. Ours will need it by the weekend. With all this warm, Spring weather down here, I have been trying to find ways to bring the green indoors without the pollen. I found some inspiration and thought I'd share it with you.

 Pottery Barn has these Live Moss Letters for $79/each.

Or you could do what I did and make your own for less than $10/each. Here's how:

 Now, hot glue small sections at a time and wrap the moss around each edge. Cut off any excess.

I decided to take an 11x14 frame that I already had and wrap linen fabric around the glass and back, putting it back in the frame and then "hanging" my "M" from the top with black and white striped ribbon. I did put dots of hot glue on the back to secure the ribbon and some of the linen. I love how this turned out! Now, I am just trying to decide where I want to hang this. I might do a monogram wall. Stay tuned!

Mason Jar Pin Cushion {Tutorial}

A few weeks ago, I was out shopping around my local thrift stores and happened upon the cutest little mason jars. There were 6 of them priced at .75 cents each. I couldn't pass them up! Immediately, I thought about making at least some of them into pin cushions. It took me awhile, but I finally got around to making two of them last week. These are so easy to make and who doesn't need a pin cushion? Or two?

These would be great as gifts for your favorite crafters or a fun project to make with your kids!

Felt Hair Bows {Tutorial}

I debated on whether or not to do a tutorial for these because they can be found all over the internet and Pinterest. But after I made them, I decided to go ahead to document it. I like to keep track of all the projects I do and this blog is the perfect place for them. So, without further ado...

These colors are perfect for Spring and Summer! I can't wait for my girls to wear these with all of their outfits to keep those bangs out of their eyes.

And if you're not inclined to make them yourself. You can purchase them in my etsy shop {My3Chickadees} for a steal of a deal! More colors coming very soon!

No-Sew Ruffled Hipster {Tutorial}

Updated for my 31 Days of Home Economics series.

 

This is a fun, quick project that requires no sewing. The main character of this story is stitch witchery. I love using stitch witchery on loose hems when I'm in a pinch or for reinforcement on other projects. It's a handy little tool. But for this project, it was perfect because it was impossible to add ruffles by sewing machine. Enter Stitch Witchery. You can find a full tutorial here for more details, but you will get the gist of the idea in the pics below. Have fun!

This is part of my 31 Days of Home Economics series. You can find the whole series at the tab above {Home Economics}.
