DIY Candy Corn Halloween Paper Napkin Wreath

Hola Amigos! Just a quick craft for the weekend if you want to give your house a festive touch for Halloween! You guys already know the drill with this wreath since we have made quite a few already (here and also here), but that is the thing, it's so easy, cheap and you get instant gratification is hard to just stop at just one!

If you have a small apartment, a dorm, or a big house but you are really not into the whole Halloween thing but a touch of magic in your home, this is the craft for you! Other than the napkins from your Dollar Store, you just need a few Halloween elements and you are set!

Nothing says Fall and Halloween like Candy Corns! These little bites of sugar now come in all flavors and textures, even gummies, so why not a wreath, it doesn't have to be perfect,the real ones aren't, and we are just representing them on this wreath with their characteristic colors.

As always this is a quick accent for indoors or outdoors, just keep in mind is paper and lately it has been raining and we are expecting the "S" word (snow) soon, so if you don't have a covered porch or the wind brings water to your door, use it inside only.

Happy weekend my friends! Only 11 days left for candy palooza! I still need to get or make a costume for my little one but...and by the looks of it, I'll be putting it together on the 30th since my little monster can't decide what he wants to be! In the meantime I will make more wreaths and dream about candy.

Besitos, 

Lizy

Back to School "Bus Stop" Paper Napkin Wreath

Hola Amigos! Today I'm sharing with you one of my favorite projects because it's so easy and frugal to do, a paper napkin wreath! I have to confess that deep inside I've been avoiding everything school related since I'm about to loose my now companion and shadow for 5 years to Kindergarten! Yup, my little man is going to K this year...I know he has to...it's part of life...but do I want to let go...NO! He is ready but I'm not. But as a good parent I need to put my best face on, be cheery and encourage him to embark in this new adventure the best way possible!

We are bringing cheer to his room with this cute wreath. You pretty much know the basics by now since you have seen my Picnic Paper Napkin Wreath. It's basically the same for this one.
What I used: 1 grapevine wreath, 1 pack 20 paper napkins, a few embellishments from the Dollar Store, 1 piece of cardboard box ( I used the back of one of the embellishments pack) 1 STOP print out.

How  I did it: Take your napkin, open it up until you have a square and twist where the middle of the square is. now just stuff it in the grapevine wreath until is full to your liking, I used about 18 napkins but if you want a fuller look, by all means use more. Embellish your wreath anyway you want and enjoy your work!
This whole wreath cost me $3.00 I had the wreath already and only use mu $1 napkin bag, $1 toy bus and $1 pencil flags! Cool huh?

It was done quite fast too, about 30 minutes, I had to wait a little to the glue to dry on my cardboard for the stop sign.

This is my first project for the school season. I'm sure it won't be the last since my little boy is so excited. I just wish I was as excited as he is. Gotta be brave though, lol...still a couple of weeks for the Big Day and I'm holding on to every minute of summer I can!

Thank You so much for your visit my friends. Hope you enjoy another one of my cheap but colorful crafts! I certainly have a happy camper on my end! Have a great day!

Besitos,

Lizy

DIY Twine Wrapped Toilet Paper Refrigerator Magnets

Hola Amigos! I should change the title of this post to "What was I Thinking" and you'll find out" Why" at the end of the post! But before getting any further I would like to mention another awesome blogger and all around person that has been with me for these last 6 months. Her name +Cynthia Landrie , the name behind Feeding Big. You can find so many wonderful things at her blog, for instance, awesome bloggy  parties like her In and Out of the Kitchen Linky Party, where you can link not only your recipes, but crafts, tutorials and DIY projects. She also has great tips on budget frugal living like her series on Living Big on Less Money and the girl is crafty too, just check these out, (secretly my inspiration for my project) . Cynthia was the person who gave me the push and confidence I needed as she trusted me enough to write an article for her amazing series Around the World in 80 Sundays, that was 3 months ago! wow!...Cynthia is a lovely person and if you get a chance, stop by her blog and say hi from me. I hope she likes what her creativity inspired here.

I have only one side visible and that I can actually use on my refrigerator mainly due to it's position in my kitchen . It's stainless steel so only the sides are magnetic. I don't put a lot of things on my fridge, I don't have that much room, I don't like the look of a million things there and lastly I can't find non breakable magnets pretty and big enough to hold the few things I want to put there, school calendars, once in a while greeting cards or an important " I don't want to forget coupon". So I decided to make them myself.

A few rolls of toilet paper, twine (natural and colored), magnets,  some bling to enhance the rolls and some flowers bring these pretty and useful magnets to life!

What I really like is not only that they are pretty but they work! I can actually use them to display heavy cards and they won't slide all the way down (or crash and break).

I thought that as with my turtles, these guys are perfect if you live in a small apartment and you want to bring some spring and summer blooms inside not having to worry about watering or bugs. You can also change the flowers according to the season.

We still have 2 more weeks left for little one the get out of Pre-K so I was thinking of making a few more for his teacher. She can even stand them just like that on her desk as an unbreakable flower vase or use it as I designed them to be, magnets.

Oh before I forget, I got inspired and made one looking like a little owl, feathers, beak, big googly eyes and all, I ran out of natural light so I set in on my side of the kitchen counter until the next morning so it could be photographed, and this is what I woke up to, yep... the cats ate the owl!!! What was I thinking right? leaving it there, sitting all pretty and totally forgetting about my little wild beasts prowling around at night under the shimmer of the kitchen nightlight hunting for their non canned or bagged , feathery dinner! RIP OWL...lol

On a side note, my floors are really shine, lol

Thanks for visiting the blog today friends! I  hope you all had a beautiful weekend and  I wish you  a healthy and productive work week.

Besitos,

Lizy
