Hello September-DIY sweet gift wrapping


Hello, September! We finally meet again. September is my birth month, and I've always enjoyed the cool air that begins to fill this month.

I appreciate the beautiful colors of blooming flowers and the old ones that slowly fade. It's all just so lovely. Since I love personalized gift wrapping, I decided to create something special. It’s a sweet gift wrap to welcome Autumn, which will soon be upon us.

**Materials needed:**

- Paper bag (for wrapping the package)
- Washi tape (I absolutely love washi tape, and I think you will too!)
- Fresh flowers
- Twine


**Here's what you'll need to do:**

It’s pretty simple:
1. Grab your special gift.
2. Insert it into the paper bag.
3. Wrap it up and apply your washi tape.
4. Using the twine, tie some fresh flowers to your wrapped gift.

You're all done and ready to give your beautifully wrapped gift to someone special. Enjoy!

This whimsical summer flower decoration makes great use of what you already have—think beads, pom poms, a humble paper towel tube, and a splash of acrylic paint. Bonus: it’s the perfect way to reuse an old frame and welcome summer in style! What You’ll Need: 1 paper towel tube (emptied, of course!) Acrylic paint (I chose a deeper pink) Craft pom poms (yellow makes a great center!) Assorted beads (medium for the stem, smaller for embellishing the petals) Foam letters (for your summer message) A reused frame (square or any shape of your choice) Scissors Hot glue gun Creating your summer flower decoration Cut the Tube and Shape the Petals :  Start by cutting the paper towel tube into four evenly-sized sections. Each section will serve as a petal. You should be left with four rings. Next, flatten each ring, then gently reshape it to form soft ovals. These will mimic delicate flower...

DIY Tea Tin Planter for Sweet Mint

Today’s tiny DIY win: turning an empty lemon‑ginger tea tin into a planter for a sweet mint plant that needed some love. I cleaned the tin, added drainage, and nestled the mint inside. It instantly brightened up the space — the colors on the tin and the fresh green leaves look so sweet together. I love giving everyday items a second life, especially when they end up this cute. Quick Video Tutorial  I began this little project by cleaning out an empty metal tea container that I had saved. It still held a soft scent of lemon and ginger, and I loved the idea of giving it a second life. Once I washed and dried it, the container felt ready for a new purpose.   Next, I used a finishing nail and a hammer to create a few drainage holes in the bottom of the tin. Since metal containers don’t have natural drainage, this step helps keep the roots healthy and prevents the soil from becoming soggy. Having prepared the container, I carefully removed the sweet mint from its original pot. The ...
