Flip-flop Wreath


My sister, the craft-goddess, is really talented. She is a mom of two super-awesome girls (I'm not the least bit prejudiced!!) and a teacher, so her creative juices are constantly flowing. Last weekend she made some wreaths out of flip-flops, silk flowers, and a large wooden letter. Of course, when I saw them I went crazy over them and knew I had to share what she had done.

Here is the one she made for her house:


Such a fun, fresh concept. Can't you just smell chicken on the grill and freshly mown grass?


Here is one she made for her friend:



I also love this one... Despite the fact that it is Gator colors. I'm pretty sure she mentioned something about it burning her fingers as she made it. We won't hold it against her friend though. This just goes to show my sister can make anything beautiful!!

Here is the last one. A slightly different take than the others:



Below is a list of supplies for making a  flip-flop wreath for yourself.

The basic materials include a wreath base, flip-flops (she got all of hers at Dollar Tree), silk flowers, rhinestones, glitter, wooden letters, and hot glue. From there it is completely up to your imagination! There are so many different ways you could arrange and decorate this wreath. So get your creative juices flowing and make one for yourself or a friend (or a SUPER-AWESOME sister!!)

Spring is finally here!!


Spring is here! If you live in the South like me, then you are starting to see the signs of new life all around you. I love the freshness in the air, seeing the beautiful trees and flowers begin to bud out, and just the general "green-ness" of everything.


Once Spring gets here I am ready to change things up a bit. I get the urge to redecorate, craft,  and organize. In other words, Pinterest becomes my best friend! Take a look at some these lovelies:






Can't you just feel the creative juices flowing now? I'm glad the weekend is almost here so I can get started on some of the hundreds of projects I pinned over the winter.
