5 Minute Necklace cut around design

Making your own jewelry is something that you can personalize and hang onto for a long time. Lucky for you today I'm sharing with you quick Necklace Pendants that you can make for yourself in only about 5 minutes.

Valentines Mantel from Clumsy Crafter

Valentine's Day actually gets fun when you have kids and a spouse that you're more in love with than you were when you got married 9 years ago.

So using a few things that I already had and a few items from the dollar store, I made a great Valentine's Day Mantel and made some adorable Valentine's Decor for virtually nothing. The heart garland at the top of the fireplace is from the Dollar Store and cost me a whopping $1. I attached it to bobby pins and … [Read more...]
