Unique DIY Chandelier Project

Hello readers! I figured I would share with you a neat idea that I found while searching online for craft ideas. I love DIY projects and today I'm sharing with you how you can create a neat chandelier design! There are sooo many ideas out there but I had to go with just one. I picked a really pretty bright colored attention grabber =) Ha ha!
 
 
 
 It definitely makes a statement in which ever room you choose to use it in. It doesn't necessarily have to be in this color either but it does look great!
 
*NOTE: This is NOT my creation. As I stated in my last blog, I am very busy right now with wedding planning, my child, etc so for about another month I won't be crafting unless it is wedding related! Please click on the link below the photo and give this person the credit =) Thank you!
 
Back to the project...
 
It does not appear to say how much all the supplies will cost but I am going to assume that this will still be a little cheaper then if you were to go buy a similar chandelier. The materials needed are as follows:
 
Lots of long strands of beads (marti-gras, wooden beads, etc. all work)
Metal hanging garden basket
A spool of thin gauge wire
Some wire outters
A wire clothes hanger
A pendant light kit
A metal chain (used to hang the light fixture)
Light fixture mounting bracket, loop and bolt
A light fixture ceiling cap
 
 
Now follow her steps on her site as she walks you through the process. The end results are nothing short of amazing and I will definitely be trying something similar when we move into our first house =) Good luck!
 
 

Cute DIY Tank Top Idea

Hello everyone! Since its spring I thought it would find a cute DIY shirt project for those who are interested to try. I have done a few in the past but stopped. I guess I ran out of shirts to design and got caught up in other things. Maybe its time I grab my scissors, needle and thread and try it again! We have had a very busy life lately with a wedding to plan, a two year old and trying to move on with life so all of my crafting has went into the wedding so far. With that said, tonight I will not be sharing my own creation but I will show you how a crafty lady designed a cute top with her own materials around the house! Very simple. Very cute! Lets go!
 
Meet Jessica!

She runs her own blog like many of us and put step by step instructions on how to create this adorable top! I personally think the bow is cute, especially for spring! Undecided if you want to try this? I'll tell you what, she only used a few things:
 
A knit shirt or tank top
fabric for the neck and the bow
Scissors and items needed to sew
 
That's it!
 
Click here and follow her easy steps to create this cute top =)
Its great to recycle old clothing and make a new style out of it!
 
 
 
 

Neat Bathroom Ideas!!

Welcome to my blog! Today I thought I would share some neat bathroom ideas that I found while browsing through Pinterest! Who knows, you might want to try them in your own home =)
Check it out:

Moving along...
The first idea I found was using a plate stand as a holder for your bathroom counter top needs! It saves some space and adds a little style to the room. You can find similar plate stands at a lot of different stores. One being Target.
 
Bathroom...
 
 
Here is the second idea I loved:
 
Use regular curtains and take rod to the ceiling. hang towel bar above the toilet
 
 
Notice the extra long shower curtain idea? I really like the fact that you can open it from the center! Its actually two long window curtains! Move the rod and hang it up below the ceiling instead! Pretty neat!

Next is a cute bathroom sign! Perfect for visitors or just a nice added touch to your home =)
