Happy Wednesday! Ash and I are back with another fun and simple project! We love succulents and mason jars, so we joined the two to make this super cute $10 DIY Succulent Frame!
How fun is that?! Before we get started, be sure to check out the how-to video HERE or by clicking the box below!
You only need one 1x3x6 board to make the frame for this project. Here are the cuts you need to make. We used a miter saw for this, but you can easily use an inexpensive hand saw like THIS ONE on Amazon.
The first step is to drill holes in one of your 15″ pieces. This will be your top piece of the frame. We used a 3/8″ drill bit for ours. The middle hole should be placed in the center of the board and the two on each side should be 4″ from that one. MY LATEST VIDEOS
Now to build the frame! Start by attaching the bottom board to the side boards. Make sure to add wood glue between each joint and attach using 1.25″ brad nails.
Now attach the top piece the same way. Again, add a line of wood glue between each piece. And there is your frame! We painted ours with Rust-Oleum Chalked paint in Charcoal… Actually Ash did since I’m still pregnant!
Once that was dry, we sanded the edges a bit to give it a distressed finish and added the succulents and mason jars. Want to see how we made them hang?? Check out the video HERE! We walk you through the entire thing!
And here she is all finished up!

Ich hoffe, ihr hattet wunderschöne Feiertage! Viele reden ja immer davon, die Vorweihnachtszeit wäre so schön zum Basteln. N..jeinnn. Weil die Tage so kurz sind und es gefühlt für immer dunkel ist, ist es zumindest mal schön, um drinnen zu bleiben. Und dann auch zum Basteln, ja. (Ich bastle je eh quasi immer, ganz unsaisonal.)
Aber alles andere ist in der Vorweihnachtszeit doch basteltechnisch eher voll stressig, oder? Man möchte sooo viel vorbereiten und übernimmt sich dann meist doch ein wenig. Ich finde es da zwischen Weihnachten und Neujahr viel gemütlicher. Da fragt niemand so recht nach einem, die Welt wird kurz ein bisschen ruhiger und man kann es sich richtig schön gemütlich machen – das alte Jahr Revue passieren lassen und Pläne für das neue Jahr schmieden.

“We Believe” Santa Clothesline DIY Christmas Decoration
Just because we don’t have “littles” in our home anymore (until grandkids come!) doesn’t mean that we no longer “believe” in the magic of Santa and the spirit of giving. I made this fun and easy Santa clothesline DIY Christmas decoration and I love how it turned out!
When I spotted these wonderfully detailed Santa stickers, I knew I wanted to hang them on a clothesline canvas in my home.
This DIY Christmas decoration project took me about ten minutes to throw together, since the elements are already pretty much finished and just require some assembly.
Supplies needed to make your own Santa clothesline DIY Christmas decoration:
Small Silver Nails or Standard Sized Silver Brads.
Hammer.
The first thing you will want to do is create your “We Believe” tag. You can use an electronic cutting machine to cut our downloadable cut file. Or you can create your own tag using stickers or your own hand writing.
The cut file will have a tag shape, and word art to fit the tag. I cut both images from white cardstock, and then silver Glittersilk cardstock. I chose to use the white tag, with silver Glittersilk word art. You can switch out your colors as desired.
Set tag aside.
Prepare your burlap canvas. This canvas has a wooden frame. Using a small nail, measure 1 inch from the top of the canvas and insert a small nail.
This was the smallest nail I could find in our garage and it was too long. If you have smaller nails, you can just use the nail itself. I had to “make do” with what I had. If you need to do it my way as well, remove the nail, and use the hole left behind to insert a brad.
I wrapped a glue dot around the base of the brad to ensure that it would stay in place.
Arrange your stickers how you would like them on your canvas. Then measure a length of red baker’s twine to fit the length of the canvas, with some overhang.
String your stickers and your tag onto the baker’s twine. Some of the sticker elements had their own tiny hangers! The detail is amazing on these little things!
The other items on the clothesline I “hung” using mini wooden clothes pins.
When all of the elements are attached, pull your clothesline slightly, and wrap the ends around the brads. Tie knots in the ends of the clothesline so it will not fray.
That’s it! This canvas DIY Christmas decoration can be hung on a wall, laid out on a mantle, or displayed using a photo easel.
This DIY Christmas decoration is something I “believe” you and all of your holiday guests will enjoy!

I love October and all the wonderful colours it provides! When I’m in the car my eyes are just drawn to all the fabulous colours.
Last week I saw a bright red tree in the middle of a sea of rust, it was glorious! It made me want to bring a touch of nature into my home and I went searching for some fabulous projects to make. I was not disappointed.
There are some amazing tutorials available at the moment and I always need to remind myself to stop searching for project ideas and actually make something! Before you go and do the same, check out these gorgeous autumnal DIY projects.
Now, you may be saying – how is this tutorial for preserving leaves for my home?! Well…..
If you want to make this gorgeous decorated leaves wall hanging, you should preserve them first! You will need to use google translate for this tutorial.
And this amazing autumn leaf wreath for you door would be fabulous to hang year after year. As long as you have appropriate storage of course ^_^
You may want to have some autumn scents filling your home and adding dried oranges, cinnamon sticks and wooden beads make a beautiful smelling decorative accent piece for any wall. This is a fabulous tutorial and you will need to translate it too ^_^
Another way to fill you home with the scents of autumn is with scented candles. I imagine these fall spice scented candles smell delicious. I have a candle from Lollyrocket called ‘Pumpkin Pie’, it makes the whole house smell like you’ve spent the day baking!
Have you ever tried gilding with gold leaf? It’s something I would really like to try but the cost is the only thing that is putting me off. When I see projects like this amazing gold leaf pine cone garland, I’m very tempted to try it!
I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw these crochet acorns and leaves!
And it’s a garland tutorial too!
I love wall decor. Adding something to your wall is one of the simplest ways to add decoration and visual interest to a room. I love the idea of making my own banners and if you love embroidery then this project is perfect for you! The colours are perfect for the season.
If you want to add a touch of autumn to your home but you aren’t so keen on the colour scheme, making this brightly coloured pumpkin cushion may be your solution!
And these polymer clay acorn magnets are the cutest thing I’ve seen in a long time! When you follow the link you can see the how to photos by navigating in the top right corner (of the black box) of the site.
I love all of these tutorials and you can always adapt a tutorial to suit your needs. You could easily substitute gold leaf with gold paint and glitter or change the colour of your paint if you decide to make the gorgeous little cushion!
Are you planning to make any of these?
Have you any other ideas for me to fill my home with the sights and smells of autumn? Let me know in the comments below.

Do you love repurposing old things into something new and pretty? Then you’ll probably love these book page projects! The fact that book pages are paper makes them easy to use in a variety of projects, and the text on the pages adds an extra level of visual interest not found in normal solid-color paper. Also, these are incredibly inexpensive ways to spruce up your decor. Definitely decorating on a dime!

Of course, there’s no need to tear up a good book to make these projects! Instead, you can go to garage sales, thrift stores, library book sales, and Goodwill to find some beaten up/damaged old books. Not only will you have a large variety of books to choose from (large text, small text, illustrations, etc.), but you can get them at great prices!
