The next one I have seen before I think and have been wanting to try out! It is by Our Liebert Family. Check out the details of how easy this project was here!
The totally cute Royal Plaque above was made by Life at Eventually Cottage. I adore black and white and crown decorative accents are all the rage right now. You can see how they made it here!
Okay I have mentioned before that I love that some of the women I read even have totally chic and elegant laundry rooms. This project by This Full Life would be a welcome addition to some of those rooms I have seen. But I was also thinking this makes a laundry basket cute to be used in other parts of the house as well. Check out the project details here.
The decor above was feature by Diary of a Craft A Holic. It is so simple yet so very cute! I love anything framed like this. Check out her instructions here.

As I said yesterday I am having so much fun sprucing up my decor from last year. I have lots and lots and did I say lots? of artificial wreaths. Some have been given to me some I have purchased etc.
I have recently fallen in love with burlap. It seems it's everywhere and it is so versatile when decorating. I also love the ribbon like material you can get in the sewing section that looks like burlap with red stripes that is used mostly when making furniture. I don't know it's official name so sorry hope the description works. Anyways I also have to let you know that I am the queen of cheap I mean it is seriously hard for me to spend over 10$ on most anything.
So that ribbon stuff I was mentioning, it's kind of expensive so I decided I would just purchase some burlap cut it and color some stripes down the side with sharpie marker. They are not super straight stripes they could have been straighter. But having four children makes me have to craft fast!
But I liked how they turned out. As I tied them they frayed a bit but I liked that look too, more shabby! I have seen other projects where sharpie is used on burlap. It worked great!
The pics below show how simple it was! Enjoy!
