DIY- All Natural Cleaner

Making my own all natural cleaner is something I have been wanting to do for quite some time now. 
Using all natural cleaners are a good choice for a few different reasons:

• They are safe for not only you but also your children and pets
• They are cheaper !
• They are not harmful on the environment

So I hopped on Pinterest and started looking for some recipes to make a nice all purpose cleaner. 
Items I used:

• Empty spray bottle ( you can reuse one from your other cleaners just rinse out and clean thoroughly)
• Distilled white vinegar
• Lemon essential oil ( I used my Lemongrass oil)

I used this on pretty much everything and it cleans mirrors really well! The scent of vinegar only lingers for a little and then the lemon takes over :) 

DIY- Ankle Chain

Yay I'm back with an all new "Do it Myself Monday". I've been planning to do this one for months now, but with the holidays it got pushed back due to wanting to give you holiday DIY's :)

I've done a few tutorials on how to embellish your shoes and the great part about this one is you don't actually have to alter anything on your shoe. This idea is great if you have a special event or evening out or simply just want to jazz up your look. 

Items used:

Large & medium chain

Michael's $2.99 each (use your 40% off coupons!)

Jump rings & Lobster clasps

Michael's - $2.99 each

Bead Gallery embellished chains

Michael's $5.99 with an extra 40% off

DIY- Decorative Fall Candleholder

"Do it Myself Monday" brings another easy and simple project just in time for fall.

All you need these few items: 

Glass Cylinder Candle Holder

Michael's $3.99

 

Fall foliage picks

Michael's $0.99 and $1.99

Scissors & Glue

And that's it! These would make perfect additions to a dining room or coffee table for the Fall. 
Of course you can also use Christmas picks for the upcoming holiday season! Let your imagination run wild!

DIY- Dress Up Your Shoes!

In my previous post I showed you the shoes I bought at Ross at a discount due to the fact that one shoe had pen marks on the side.

After trying to get out the marks, I decided why not try and revamp the shoes with a little embellishment?
Off to Michael's I went and picked up these supplies.

Paper Flower accents $1.00

Self-stick rhinestones - $3.99

I found these when I passed by the bridal department and I have to say that I love them! I never thought about looking in that section before but these seem to be better faceted and I also like the different oval shape.

Of course my good ole E6000 glue. I'm going to need to replenish this soon!

Here is the finished product! I love how it totally changed the look with such little effort. I think it makes the shoes look a little more flirty and fun.

DIY Lantern Nightlight

Not too long ago I purchased new things for my bedroom makeover at my favorite store Z Gallerie. I had been eyeing a duvet set in this amazing indigo blue color and wanted to get the Casablanca lanterns to match. To my surprise one day everything I wanted was 50% off! So I snatched up my duvet and shams along with two of these lanterns. In the back of my mind I wanted to make them into lights and ultimately I decided to make one into a nightlight.
The only things you need to make this are:

Lantern of your choice
Medium sized Z Gallerie "Casablanca" Lantern $7.50

Plug in Candlestick light $3.99 at Jo Ann's

Double sided tape $2.99 at Michael's

Here is it illuminated on my vanity table. I love how the light gives off the pattern of the lantern onto the walls

DIY Holiday Coffee/Tea Mugs

Another idea inspired by Pinterest!!! These mugs make perfect gifts for the holidays or anytime :)

Now I did experiment a bit with these. Some people posted on Pinterest that you could use Sharpies to write with. I tried that however it rubbed off with washing. I found some paint pens at Michael's and decided to give them a try and ta da! They worked :) I also noticed that the Sharpie brand makes paint pens as well in large assortment of colors so I would think those would work as well. Here is my tutorial on how to make these 

I plan on making a few more of these as gifts since they come out pretty and what's better than a handmade gift?
Here are the items I used:

White mug- $1.00 at Dollar Tree

White mug- $1.00 at Dollar Tree 

Craftsmart Paint Pen Set- $5.99 at Michael's

Make any design or pattern you wish and then place on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes and ta da!!!  You have an instant gift!

Here are each one I did:
