DIY Jewelry Board

Hello there! If you didn't catch my last blog, I was showing off some new items at Target. One was a jewelry board that I really want! With that said, I remembered how I came across a few DIY jewelry boards on Pinterest and figured it was time to find a great blog to share! I had a friend who created their own jewelry board and it turned out really well! Ladies, these are great because you won't need such a large jewelry box. I pretty much only use mine for rings and my more expensive jewelry now. The rest of mine hang from a holder on the wall but its not a jewelry board. These are almost a must!!
I found a blog that shows you step by step how to create your own jewelry board and its really neat! Please click on the source below the photo and give this person the credit because they did a great job!

Something cute and simple to create!

Hello readers! I decided the other day that our home was missing something. I realized it needed a pop of color and something to make the rooms feel a little more alive?! I went up to Family Dollar and purchased some simple yellow fake flowers for a couple bucks. After that I stopped in quick at Walmart and picked up a sack of vase fillers for less than 5 bucks. I also picked up a frosted jar with a neat bird design which was also less than 5 bucks. Birds and jars are trending right now along with the rustic/glam look! I was able to put together a simple but adorable flower arrangement that really added a lot to our room =)
 

 
Two more things...
 
As I was walking through the store I also noticed that Walmart sells all different sizes of Ball jars with lids and bands. These are also PERFECT for crafts =)
