A Gift for a Sweet Tooth

There is always that one person in the family that you have a hard time shopping for. For me it is my brother. So for his birthday this year I just decided to give him a bunch of candy because face it who doesn't like candy! I found this idea from the crafty website "The Idea Room" - but they used it as a Father's Day Present and I just changed the labels and it worked out great for a birthday gift.

I figured it's pretty self explained so I did a quick photo tutorial:

It is made using a four pack of Stweart's soda and some scrap book paper.

You can also make it out of a six pack of IBC Cream Soda if you have tons of candy.

Find out what the persons favorite candy is

Fill the bottles with candy

Scrapbook on a label...I just looked up the candy logos on a google image search and photoshoped a little label for each individual candy bottle.

And top it off with some birthday ribbon!

Easy as can be and a fun gift for anyone and any holiday.

Bow Holder

Here is the bow holder I just finished yesterday for all the bows I have made for my little girl. I have seen this on so many crafty blogs so I don't know where to give credit to. It is so easy it took me only a few hours to do (that's including painting twice).

I found a picture frame at DI for only $2 (I picked one that was already sanded and ready to be painted-that saved me some time). I painted it brown to match the brown dots on the material I used for the background. Next time I do this project I won't be using material with dots (they weren't even and it made the frame and ribbon look way off centered). I just superglued the material and ribbons on the back and it was easy as that.

Scrapbooked Magnets

Making cute magnets is a breeze!

I did some of these scrapbooked magnets last year and I have loved them!


When I was doing my $.88 Tuesday shopping at Honks $1 I found these colorful magnets that I thought would be fun to scrapbook.

They are so simple and cheap! Just find some cute scrapbook paper (mine was left over from an older project) and some plain colorful magnets:

Cute the paper to fit:

And scrapbook some fun extras to finish:

See how easy and cute they are!

Flip-Flop Home

I came across this idea, about 3 years ago, in a magazine. They had turned a planting box into a flip-flop holder and I thought it was a cute idea. And about a week ago I was going through the many flip-flops I have and I remembered that cute idea. So I decided to get crafty and make my own version of a filp-flop holder. I'd like to call it my flip-flop home.


Here is how I made my Flip-Flop Home:

I found a good size container (you could use anything) I found this little planter pot-basket (don't know what you call it) at Ross for $2.99 and I thought it would be perfect because I wanted some texture.


Spray paint your whole container with your base color (I chose hot pink because I thought it would be cute with all my flip-flops) I used Krylon Outdoor spray paint - Satin finish because I didn't want my flip-flop home to be shinny with gloss finish.


Than I took another fun bright color and added some demention to my home.


After all the paint was dry I added these really cut buttons I found at Wal-Mart they matched so perfectly and added a nice finished touch.

I do have to say my flip-flop home is much cuter!

Other ideas:

-You can add sand to you holder to make it extra fun (I decided to hold back on the sand because I know my 1-year-old would love to play in it).

-If you have a pool you could use it for a flip-flop holder and/or towel holder located pool-side.
