Saw it, Pinned it, Did it!

Thankfully today is Thursday
Which makes this, Happy Friday Eve!! 
Not to forget, because I will, Today marks TWO months since I have become a Mrs.
Happy Two Months Anniversary Babe - I love you.
{I know he secretly reads this} 
Time is sure going by fast!! 

If you follow me on the insta you will know that I made a wreath, my FIRST one. Today it is all about the saw it, pinned it, did it link-up with Steph over at Beautiful Mess & Katie at Keep Calm & Carry On..



My inner craftiness ... 
What I pinned
Pin here

What you will need
*wreath wire 
*ribbon of choice 
*scissors
*one big bow
*lots of time 


Directions:

Cut your ribbon into stripes. I did stripes in between lengths of 4 inches to 7 inches (I am totally guessing right now - I really did not measure) 


Once you get sick of cutting ribbon. 
Begin tying each strip individually onto the wreath like you would double knot your shoes. No bows
Watch your favorite shows.
Drink some wine. 
have some dinner.
Do everything else you would while tying knots.
I promise your hands will get sick of tying and you will want to take a break. 
I tied ribbon to the inner most circle and the 2nd from the outer most circle. Therefore, I went around twice to make the wreath look more full. 
Once I finished that (about 3 weeks - told you time consuming) I added the bow to the top so the strings will hang in the middle. Once all finished hang it on your front door! 

TAHHH DAHHHHH
FINAL PRODUCT!


Enjoy for the Holidays. 
Have a Fabulous Thursday.

Saw it, Pinned it, DID it!


I DID IT!!! 
I finally saw something on pinterest, pinned it & DID IT! 
It was super easy. 
I pinned, 



What I bought

I asked my good friend to help {she's ms. crafter} but it was super easy. 

I went out & bought mod podge 

I bought Martha Stewart Glitter 

This exact one. If you didn't know purple is one of my favorite colors but I wanted some silver in there too

& I already had my Starbucks cup. 

Don't forget paint brushes. 

HOW I DID IT

Take the inside cup out of the tumbler. Put that to the side. You will NOT use this cup. I took my paint brush and painted the mod podge on the inside of the outside cup. {The part with the Starbucks logo on it} Pour some glitter into the cup and roll the cup to cover all the white mod podge. Let it dry for a few hours. 
Repeat until you have it how you like it. 
IT IS THAT EASY

I did mine 3 times over 2 days
I can't wait to use it now. 

GO DO IT!! 

Any questions, just ask!! Hope this explains how it all works. It is super easy & fun. Let your inner craftiness out.
Happy Tuesday!!
