Coffee filter Butterfly craft

 



 Materials needed
coffee filters
paint
chenille stems (pipe cleaners)
wire

After we made our butterflies, I used some wire and created a large ring.
I attached each butterfly to the ring using some plastic craft string.
We had so much fun creating and painting our butterflies.

    Thank you Jennifer! We have worked with coffee filters a few times. We once made flowers, they turned out great. :)

It's been a hot summer with wildfires and droughts, so it's nice to have a few days to cool down a bit. Below, I've shared two photos that I posted on my Instagram story. The first one shows one of our lovely hummingbirds relaxing on the swing near the feeder. I love watching them from our dining room window. In the second photo, we had another visitor at the feeder, and the sunlight shining through the window that evening was absolutely beautiful. I'd say this week was a nice one.

DIY Floral Wooden Jack‑O’‑Lanterns (Easy Fall Decor)

I’ve been having so much fun creating fall projects this year. These floral wooden jack‑o’‑lanterns  started as simple wooden pumpkins, but with a few pretty transfers and some soft paint colors, they turned into the sweetest little fall accents. I love how the florals give them a cozy, cottage‑style feel while still keeping that classic jack‑o’‑lantern charm. They’re quick to make, easy to customize, and such a cute way to add a warm autumn touch to your home. Materials Wooden pumpkin cutouts Floral transfers Acrylic paint (your chosen colors) Gold acrylic paint Green acrylic paint Mini dowels Hot glue gun + glue sticks Small wooden stands Brown acrylic paint Paintbrushes   Add the floral transfers I started by placing my floral transfers onto each wooden pumpkin, just arranging them until they felt right. Once they were where I wanted them, I used a little rubbing tool to press them down and transfer the design onto the wood. Take your time with this part — slow, even pressu...

Learn more about Photowall Source Source I was thrilled when I was contacted to collaborate with their company. After viewing their website and looking through their product line, I just knew I would love my very own canvas design for my home. Our oldest daughter is in love with all things that pertain to space. They had a full selection of space designs. So, after going through a few pages of their canvas designs, we found a design that was perfect for her. I placed my order with them, and my order arrived within a few short days. Once our product arrived, my husband unboxed the product, and we were impressed with how everything was in order in the box. All the hardware, wooden frame pieces, instructions, and canvas were ...
