You can make this!

So I have had these frames for a year or so. I get a little carried away in the craft store and go in for one thing to finish a project and come out with three new project ideas. I affectionately call myself "hyper-creative". So being that I am a jewelry designer first and foremost, I have tons of rings. I am also an artist and love multi-functional decor. What better way to display rings than cute frames that make your jewelry a piece of art! So here we go!

Supplies:

Glue sticks and gun

Spray paint (color of your choice)

Scissors

Felt (color of your choice)

Frame

To start, fire up your gun so it starts to melt your glue. Keep a few extra sticks of glue close by so you can keep moving along as the cool melt glue tends to harden quick.

While your gun heats up head outside and spray your frame the color of your choice and let dry.

The felt usually comes in an 8x10 pieces. I used half of those sheets. So three-and-a-half full sheets. Roll your felt into tubes as tight as you can and drop a bead of glue in a line to secure your felt tube. Make enough tubes until the fill the opening in your frame, I used seven. Measure and trim if you need to so that the tubes hang over on the backside and don't fall through the front. Glue the tubes just to the outside of the frame. Don't glue them together or you won't be able to push your rings in:)

  

Mine lays flat on my table but if you would like, attach a pretty ribbon with your hot glue and hang it or cut a paint stirrer in half and glue it as a kick stand on the back to stand it up!

Just a few other things you will find in our pretty little beach shop at celeste m. designs:

Zebra-print coin purse with brooch:

Sweet French-market style match boxes you will be proud to keep out on your coffee table.

I hope you have fun making this quick ring holder!

Enjoy this glorious day!

Pretty recycled home decor

I'm always looking for a quick, easy way to make something beautiful out of some garbage that we throw away and revisit on our beautiful beaches. After spending the morning cleaning our local beach with Ryan and pulling in a big garbage bag of litter, I'm even more motivated. I also became very aware of what sort of things end up back on the beach. Most of what we picked up of course were plastic... bottle caps, bottles, straws, cans and few unmentionables ( yuck! )

So here is the bright side, we don't drink a lot of things other than water here but, when we do we love Sanpellegrino! 

So I have saved a few cans because I thought they were cute and was pretty sure I would figure out a creative job for them.

So here it is... Simple, quick and oh so cute!

Supplies:

Cans

Flowers

Hot glue gun with glue sticks

Rocks or marbles 

Heavy duty utility shears 

Sand

Point the shears downward and poke a small hole right under the can lip. So you can start to cut the top off. Once the top is off I drop it in the can.

Fill the can with a handful of rocks or marbles and pour about a 1/2 cup of sand over the top. 

Take your flower of choice and pull or cut the head off, you can also put the stem in the can instead of throwing it out. Center the flower and glue a bit at a time down to the can to cover the cut edge.

Yes! You did it!

These work great to weight down a picnic tablecloth on a windy day or just to pretty up your desk or bookshelves.

Best of all you just turned junk into a beautiful thing! You made fish happy and our beaches thank you!😘

Enjoy this glorious day!
