DIY paper pot

when you don't have a pot to put your newly found treasure in, you make one!
 
here's an easy diy paper pot.
 
- turn the paper bag inside out (i gently rolled it outward).
- depending on your plant size, fold the bag inward to the desired height.
- have some fun painting it whatever color(s) you desire.

DIY Geo Inspired Planter





school is out and we are so excited to enjoy the summer! now that my schedule is a little more open (as open as it can get with 4 kiddos), i have a handful of DIY projects i want to do. 

it can get frustrating when i have all these ideas in my head but can't implement them because of a busy schedule. hopefully, i can get through some of them since the craft itch can be soothing and inspiring.

with this little project i had all the supplies at home--i love when that happens! geometric decor has been lovely to see, so i put together a quick geo inspired planter. it added something new to the place, AND in my case, it was totally free! now, let's pray my plant don't die!

what you'll need:

-plain clay planter

-painter's tape

-paint with paint brush


i taped around the vase. just make sure there's no open spaces so the paint don't seep through. i painted, let it dry, then repainted again. i did about 4 coats just to make sure it was thick enough--depending on the paint it could be less coats. once it is completely dry, remove the tape slowly, making sure you press down on the painted part while pulling tape. i accidently tore too quickly and some paint came along with it...i had to repaint that area :/

1. Decide on a vase you want to decorate.
2. Use tape to make straight rows-like painters tape or any that don't leave any sticky residue.
3. Use a permanent marker that works well on glass and make sure the shading is to your liking.
4. Decorate in between rows (due to the shape of my vase, my mustaches decreased in size as I drew towards base).
5. Remove tape and use for freshly cut flowers or a nice succulent--or whatever you like :)

DIY Fabric Fringe

Laid my eyes on this pretty decor idea from 100layercake (can't remember exactly what beautiful wedding deco entry) and just had to incorporate into my friend's bridal shower.  I've seen this DIY project all over the blogosphere.  Upon making it and using for her shower, we also used it at her Bachelorette. 

Very easy, but time consuming, depending on how long you want it.  I recommend doing a short length.  I didn't realize how long it was taking until I was well into the project.  Thankfully I had my pals come along and cut with me!

Choose fabric of your liking,
Cut 1.5 x 14 inches of strips,
Then tie unto rope... 
Tada!

Bridal Shower

Our beloved Jasmine is getting married soon, so we celebrated with a fancy-shmancy shower to show our love.  It was much fun decorating for Miss Jasmine, since she is inclined to pay attention to details and take lots and lots of pictures of them!  




It was a lovely time and she was smiling ear to ear :)  We love her lots and are very excited to see her become one with Mr. San!  YAY!  Now, gotta plan the bachelorette...
