Pinterest Pins Put into Action!

Pinterest, where have you been my whole life? 

What was life before pinterest?  I'll tell you.  Mine was unorganized chaos.  Now it's organized chaos.  Now I have a place to organize my prospective craft projects, design my dream home, drool over dessert recipes that I hope to make, and find pretty jewelry and outfits that I want.

I must confess that I found it difficult to control my pinning of craft ideas.  It was craft overload! 

I made a goal to only pin craft and DIY ideas that I would realistically make so I thought I would share some of my pins that I put into action. =]

Here is a cool 3D hand outline I created....

Here is a small stand for the kitchen sink:

The soap pump is a store bought hand soap.

I took off the label and added a letter J sticker and some decorative string.

A fun and SIMPLE non-traditional wreath

I have been in search of wreath ideas on Pinterest for a while now with no luck.

 Sure, there are plenty but none are my style.

I wanted something very simple with neutral colors. I also didn't want anything too large. Small and simple but with a personal twist (which I'm sure my husband greatly appreciates).

I browsed through my craft supply assortment and came across thick twine and a plain square unfinished frame. Then I bought a letter J from Walmart.

I wrapped the twine around the frame.

Then I added the letter J (which I lightly spray painted white).  I also added flowers that I purchased from Michaels.   I used the adhesive below to glue the letter J and the flowers. 

And here is the finished product!

It's small and simple and does not cover the ever-so-important peep hole. =]
