Laundry Room Sign

 

I have seen so many cute laundry room signs that I loved but did not like the $ of them SO.. I decided I would "create" my own.

 

 

The idea started when I found the large safety pins on Ballard Designs that I had my eye on for a few years just did not know quite how I would use them.

 

Started out with a trip to Home Depot and as usual my fav place Michaels.. (also just found out there is one coming to Napa I am SOOO excited!!)

 

Painted the board  and letters ...

 

Glued on some scrap burlap I had around..

 

 

Hot glued the letters and added some thumb tack embellishments (fancy it up a  bit)

 

and....

 

 

Here is the before

 

 

BORING...

My Pinterest inspiration for Easter

 

I saw the cutest candy jar idea and "tried to copy" or at least add my own twist to it. 

 

 

My idea was to create a "jibby" jar.  Jibbies are what Dominic calls little trinkets.  I decided to make one for Dominic and his cousins Jaxon, Mason and Austin.  First stop Michaels for the supplies

 

 

I glue gunned the letters to the top of the jars to "personalize" them.

 

 

Found the cutest little cans of spray paint at Home Depot about a dollar cheaper then at Michaels.  Had to give the tops a few coats over a few days to make them completely covered.

 

 

I then purchased the "jibbie" candy goodies to go inside.  I was so excited to find edible Easter grass but, I tried it and .... its gross but, never know with kids they might like it :)

 

 

The final product. 

 

Also here are the cupcakes I made :) The kids did ask if the nests were "to eat" I said they could try. lol
