Sippy Cup Leash

I saw this neat little project on one of my favorite blogs Make It and Love It forever ago and decided I needed to finally sit down and do it. And I actually did it and it has been wonderful to have.

Here is my end project

learn how to make this Sippy Cup Leash:

My leash has a few alterations:
-I didn't put in a liner around the leash for the cup
-I used Webbing (I think you call it that) for the leash and not ribbon, seems for durable.
-I sowed on a large snap around the part of the leash that hooks to the stroller instead of Velcro, stays on better.

It really does come in handy! It's actually a lifesaver if you have a child that likes to throw their cup when they are done, like mine does.

Guest Washcloth Holder

I got this idea from both my sister and my sister-in-law. I wanted to share it with everyone because I thought it was cute idea.

In my sister's bathroom she has a tiny wooden basket with a bunch of rolled up washcloths for her quests to use.

In my sister-in-laws bathroom she has a glass container with a bunch of rolled up washcloths with ribbons tied around them for her quests to use.

So I decided to put both ideas into one and this is what I came up with:


I just bought some brown and tan washcloths to match my colors and I tied little bows around them with golden ribbon and placed them in a cute little wooden basket.

I found the monogram washcloths at TJ Maxx and they fit perfectly with my colors.

I love it!

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.
