Take a planter from drab to fab with this Stenciled Succulent Planter Pot tutorial!


Stenciled Succulent Planter Pot

Even though it's currently snowing outside, it's officially spring. My plant-keeping skills aren't really the best, but I do have a knack for making their homes (aka planters) look pretty great! To bring some spring-like energy into my home, I used my Ikonart Stencil Kit to give a boring concrete planter an incredible makeover. This is a great project for stencil beginners, and I'm sharing the design for FREE! I absolutely love how this planter turned out, and have been so excited to show you how I did it!

New to making reusable stencils? Here's how to Get Started with Ikonart!

Give your Easter Eggs a colorful tie-dye makeover using items you already have at home!


Tie-Dye Easter Eggs with Coffee Filters

Dyeing Easter eggs is is one of my favorite traditions, and there are so many fun ways to do it! Instead of making eggs a solid color, we made some tie-dye inspired Easter eggs. They are SO easy to dye, and the kids are going to love it! Not only will you save money by not getting store-bought kits, but you probably already have everything you need at home. This is a fun Easter activity that's totally safe to do with kids, and you can color as many or as little as you'd like!

Create a stunning pair of multi-color earrings using Liquid Sculpey polymer clay!


Multi-Color Liquid Sculpey Earrings

Have you tried using Liquid Sculpey yet? It's such a fun medium for any crafting level to use to create all kinds of things, including jewelry. Sculpey just released some new colors of Liquid Sculpey, so I decided to put them to the test using one of my new molds. I ended up making a few sets of Multi-Color Earrings, and I absolutely LOVE how they turned out! If you're nervous to jump into resin or sculpting with polymer clay, Liquid Sculpey is the perfect in-between. I like that it has the freedom of pouring like resin, but is quick and easy to use like clay!
