DIY Holiday Wreaths

OK, so I know I like to say that I am a big, fat Grinch during the holidays, but I feel like something may change this year. Maybe it’s the fact that we have our own house to call home and I can actually put up lights, and really enjoy the festive decor. Or maybe I’m just changing (for the best?). Either way, I’ve wanted to take on a new crafty project (I itch for one if it’s been too long) and I think now is definitely the time! Modern, quirky holiday wreaths are my favorite way to dress up a home for the season, but unfortunately, they tend to go for big bucks and with the state of things, we definitely have to find alternatives. Cue DIY!

1. DIY Colored Mason Jars

It’s no secret: I love easy DIY projects! Although I don’t consider myself to be very crafty, I can do spray painting without any difficulties. Promise. And this simple DIY project consisting of a can of spray paint and a pack of mason jars really does it for me. Just think of these pretties adorning a table at an event or even as a centerpiece for a shower – they would be so perfect! And the best part is that they would take minimal time and effort, as well as be gentle on your wallet. I, for one, can’t wait to give these babies a test run. If you are also interested, you can pick up large packs of mason jars at Big Lots for under $15! Thank me later 😉

1. Anthropologie's Bustled Shower Curtain

Now that we are almost ready to move into our new home (squee!), I’ve been shopping for a lot more home accessories than usual. Unfortunately, I stumbled upon this gorgeous ruffled shower curtain from Anthropologie. I say unfortunately because this pretty little lady is $118! Of course, after seeing it, I became obsessed with having a ruffled shower curtain in our master bathroom and thankfully after some Internet scouring, I found a more affordable ruffle action from Target. But I’ll most probably still find myself lusting after this one from time to time. Oh, how you pain me so, Anthropologie!

1. DIY Fake Mustaches
1. DIY Fake Mustaches

I truly believe fake mustaches are the best party favor ever, so I absolutely loved this adorable DIY mustache tutorial on the blog, The Wedding Chicks. It says that it is for weddings, but I truly believe this would make any party that much more festive and fun. Can you imagine a few of these babies as part of the prop box for a photo booth? I think I may seriously attempt these for our epic Fourth of July party!
