Decorated mirror

I was storaging used eggs' cartons for some reason that I didn't know.

So checking Pinterest (holy pinterest!!), I found a good idea and decided to try it.

I cut, painted and used some glue. I had this mirror from another decor frame that I bought at Kmart but the frame was broken. 

I was confused about which color i would paint the "flowers": white or gold. I chose white to give a vintage idea.

I used command to put in the wall of my bathroom.

In total I've used three empty eggs' cartons for it. 

I liked it! 

Small snow tree - Fun craft with kids

This is what we did (my son and I) after playing outside!

While real snow doesn´t arrive, our goal is to find more and create our own forest of snow trees! lol

One thing is certain here, my kiddo loves doing this: our small adventure to catch the "trees", painting with a brush, looking at me cutting the star!

I love craft time with my boy!

Frames and stuff

The same guy that lived in my house had left an old cork board and I had no idea what to do with that. So guess what, I looked for ideas on pinterest and tried to do something.

This time, I didn't like a lot of the result but Let me see If I get used to this. It's in my wall now but I am not sure if it will continue there! lol

I bought the letters from Michael Store. 

A Wreath for my Front door!

Honestly, I think I only put wreath in my front doors for Christmas. That's nothing very common for me. But I saw so many easy-cheap & quick ideas to create the wreath that I decided to give it a try.

So, went to pinterest again (thanks!) and using the following materials:
- Wreath support
- A false flower
- A wood painted letter in white
- Twisted Jute Twine
- Burlap?

Yep. I don't know how to do a tie, it's quite evident in below picture. Anyway, it is what it is and I liked. A wreath for less than $10!

"Painted" Mugs

I got some white small mugs from a guy who lived in the house I am living now and I had no clue what to do with it. It was not big to drink milk. It's more for tea and we don't usually drink tea at home. So, I decided to do something different and "paint" the mugs!

Material that I needed:

- Mugs

- Painters (special for porcelain - found in Joann and Walmart too)

- Patience :) 

The first drawing that I made was awful. So I erased several times until I finally finish the first one. I searched for ideas in pinterest and found the birds, also the "snow man" came from pinterest. The others I just wanted to do a ballerina and a cupcake.

After I finished drawing, I let the mugs for 24h and then baked 30min in 350'. 

Now it's in my kitchen! Come to visit me to see it :)

Heart of Buttons!

I loved the idea of using buttons to create different decoration.
I have no talent to sew. So, my house always had extra buttons.
So, another day I just tried to do this. Me and my little helper. He helped me to colour the wood with gold ink and after that he helped me to put the buttons!

Material that I needed;
- A small wood
- Gold Ink
- A brush ( actually two, one for me and another for my assistant)
- Red buttons (a small pack)
- Hot Melt glue + gun
- Painter - black to write

I actually didn't like the "family" word, it's a little crooked but anyway we had a lot of fun doing this!
I want to do more things with buttons!
