 Hi everyone! I hope all is well with you. Today I am going to take my almost 20-year-old shoji screen and transform it using just a few materials I had on hand. I purchased this shoji screen when living in Arizona. When my husband, and I moved around due to the military, this screen followed along with us. It has been through a lot. I decided over the weekend that I would give it a complete makeover. I'd love to share my experience with all of you. This project took one day to complete. I decided to keep the white shoji paper and work around it. Materials  Peel and stick wallpaper -The roll I am using was purchased at Lowe's during a sale they had. I believe it was $37 for the package. And it only takes one to complete this project Paint- I'm using my leftover Valspar furniture and cabinet paint Adhesive- E6000 Paintbrush Ruler  Scissors Spray paint Screwdriver Start by applying paint to the frame on each section of your shoji screen. I only applied paint to the outer su...

Hello all! This craft is easy and a lot of fun. I recently came across assorted fruit stickers at my local Dollar Tree, and I thought of using them for a summer craft. Today, we'll be making a colorful summer hanging design. I only had to buy the stickers for this, and I spent around three dollars on this project. I already had most of the materials on hand. Materials: - Assorted fruit stickers - Summer word wood decoration - Wood frame - Paint - Faux succulents - Paintbrush or sponge brush - Twine -  Hot glue - Scissors - Floral cutters Start by applying paint to your wooden frame.

Once the frame and decorations are dry, use hot glue to attach your summer word decoration to the sign. After, take your assorted stickers, and begin to add them to your wood frame. You are now ready to cut your succulents. Us...

Hi everyone! I hope you are all doing well. I decided to work on a simple project that takes little time, and a few materials. Today we are creating an easy succulent love sign. Materials needed Black paint One small round wood sign paintbrush Gold sticker design Succulents Two strands of vines Adhesive/Hot glue Floral snips/ Scissors Start by applying your black paint to your wooden round sign. I applied paint to the front side of my wood sign, but you can apply paint on both the front and the back of the sign if you choose to do so. Apply around two coats of your black paint, and a total of four coats if you decide to paint the front and back of your sign. Next, take your love gold sticker, and apply a little adhesive to give it extra hold when placed onto your sign. I did this because I have noticed that the sticky backing on some stickers doesn't hold as well once applied on top of a painted surface. Next, gather your vines, and succulents. Using some floral snips, cut your vin...
