Spring-Catchers: A DIY Craft Post

Hello everyone! Today, I want to share a fun and easy craft project called "Spring-catchers". This project involves creating beautiful window art using flower and other shape templates, paint, and flowers. It's a kid-friendly activity that the whole family can enjoy together.

 I originally posted this craft back in 2015 when my oldest daughter was just a toddler, but I have updated it for you all to enjoy. I hope you have fun making these window catchers as much as we did!



Spring-Catchers
(Springtime sun-catchers)

This fun and simple craft is perfect to welcome Spring. You will need the following materials:

Materials

- Paint (regular or water paint)
- Pencil
- Template (you can make your own for tulip, sun, and flower shapes)
- Scissors
- Tape
- Flowers
- Paintbrush
- Paper

If you are working with young children on this craft, it's recommended that a parent help with cutting out the shapes

Trace and paint


Create stencils of any flower design such as tulips, daisies, sunflowers, etc. Cut out the flower stencil and use it to trace out multiple flowers and other shapes. After take your paint and apply it using a paintbrush.



Adding flowers

Apply some tape on the backside of your flower. Be sure that the sticky section is facing up. Place your beautiful flowers onto the sticky part of the tape. If you cannot pick any fresh flowers, you can simply use foam flowers, stickers, paper flowers, or craft flowers.
Apply tape on the front side - this will seal the flowers inside.
Use scissors to cut any remaining tape around the flowers.





These flower suncatchers look beautiful when displayed in a sunny window. That completes your lovely Spring-catcher decorations.
I hope you enjoyed this simple Spring craft. Please leave a comment below and feel free to share!

Keeping Blogging Positive: The Do’s and Don’ts of Community Support

The Do’s and Don’ts in a Blogging Community If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years of blogging, it’s that the community can be one of the best parts of the whole experience — when we’re actually supporting each other. Blogging isn’t just hitting publish and hoping someone reads it. It’s connecting, showing up for one another, and creating a space where everyone feels welcome to share their voice. But let’s be honest: not every corner of the blogging world feels that way. Sometimes people forget that behind every blog is a real person doing their best. So I wanted to put together a simple, down‑to‑earth list of do’s and don’ts — the things that genuinely help build a positive blogging community, and the things that… well, don’t. Nothing complicated, nothing dramatic. Just the kind of common‑sense, supportive habits that make blogging more enjoyable for all of us.

Succulent Centerpiece using Dollar Tree Items

Looking to add some greenery to your space?  Hello everyone! Today, we’re going to create a quick and simple succulent display using a round baking pan from Dollar Tree. I completed this craft a while ago, but forgot to share it with you. It's an easy project, and all the materials—except for the spray paint—were purchased at Dollar Tree. You can make this lovely decoration in just 10 minutes. Let’s get started on this succulent decoration together! Materials -One baking pan -Spray paint -Stones/rocks -Crushed glass -Artificial succulents -One glass candle holder Start by applying spray paint to the baking pan. I had a bronze color from a previous project, and it would be a great opportunity to use it again. When applying spray paint, make sure to cover the surrounding area and ensure that the space is well-ventilated.  Once you have painted the pan, allow the paint to dry. I used a heating tool to speed up the drying process, but if you prefer, you can let it air dry, which m...

Lately: Things That Have Made My Heart Happy

Lately, I’ve been holding onto the small things—the gentle, unexpected moments that slip in between the busy ones and remind me how much beauty there is in simply being here, together. We’re almost stepping into April, and even though this month has brought its share of mishaps and little detours, it has also offered us so many soft, shining memories. The kind that settle in quietly and stay. These are the moments that have made my heart happy… Welcoming Spring With Fresh Flowers One morning at the market, I picked up a small bundle of spring flowers—nothing extravagant, just simple blooms in soft colors that felt like a whisper of the season ahead. Bringing them home and placing them on the table instantly brightened the whole space. It felt like inviting spring inside, letting a little bit of newness and hope settle into our everyday rhythm. Sunsets That Slow the World Down Evening after evening, the sky has been putting on a show—warm gold melting into rose, fading into deep violet....
