DIY NECKLACES FOR THE LITTLES FROM THIER SUMMER ADVENTURES + WEEKEND LINKS






Happy Friday!

A great start to the weekend for me! Well sort of.  Dropped little h off to preschool - not a tear… FROM HIM.  Me on the other hand, I still felt on the verge of a good cry inside?!!  Extra hormones?

At any rate, one last birthday gift for the munchkin. These necklaces made from shells and stones we found on our summer adventures.

She insists on wearing them all at once? Never too many accessories I suppose..

To Make
Cut brightly colored cotton cord (available at Craft Stores) about four inches longer than the desired length of your necklace.  Knot the cord ends. Fold it in half and wrap it around the shell or stone, the pull the cord ends through the loop.  Tighten and secure with super glue or hot glue. Let dry!

Speaking of breaking news… I was on the local news again!!! At this rate, I'll be a local celebrity in no time!

This ValMariePaper prayer journal may be just the addition I need to stay purposeful and on track with my prayers for my family, goals, and ambitions.

So excited to take the long weekend to read something new and funny. A dear friend left this book for me at pickup from the preschool today. She thought I'd like it - its about a blogger. One last sumer read!

MAKE THESE FOR LABOR DAY | DIY RIBBON BROOCHES




ITS DIY WEDNESDAY!! 
I just made that up:-/ 
No but really, I saw these in a magazine., and decided to give it a whirl. something cute to add some flavor for Labor Day. I think they turned out pretty dog gone cute? So much so that  I got a little carried away…




These were super easy to make. Just cut a length of ribbon, make about 5 or six flat knots and then tuck the ends into the last knot on opposite side and secure with glue. Add these little pins on the back with a little hot glue as well. You could also use a safety pin.


What You Need:
Gross Grain Ribbon
Hot Glue Gun
Nickel Pin Backs (available at craft stores)          

              


I think I'm going to make one for all of my guests. Little favors, so that everyone looks festive? Let me know if you want one.. I've got extras:-)
