Mothers Day really is such a special day. When I think back about all the wonderful things my mom has done for me and my brother, Mother's Day really should be every day. There's really nothing I can get her or say to her to really express how much I appreciate and love her. But yet every year I try to get something to express just a token of my gratitude for her! I always find it hard to find the perfect gift, even though I know she'll love anything I get her, I want to find something that will mean something. So here are some of my Mother's day gift ideas if you're still looking for something. My favorite gifts to give my mom are usually hand making her something. So I'll post some of those here as well!

Just start buy taping about halfway up the glass bowl with painters tape. Make sure to smooth out all the air bubbles.


Once it is all taped off you can go ahead and paint the bottom half of the bowls. I used gold gilding to do this but you could also spray paint.


Once you have the holes drilled go ahead and tie a piece of string onto each hole. I triple knotted it so it was very secure. Then connect the two pieces of string and tie a loop that will hang onto the hook. I made each of the three bowls different lengths to add some variety.


Then just put your hooks in the ceiling and hang each of the planters from them and you are done! This is such an easy DIY and super inexpensive. All together I spent $3 on this project, when the one I saw at the store was upwards of $100.

Lately I have been really into making DIY videos. I think it's nice to be able to watch the process in video form! I did 3 easy and inexpensive gift ideas that I think turned out really cute. The first one is a marble mug that turned out to look really nice! The second one I did was a gold dotted champagne glass that I've seen in stores and it was so easy to make. The last one was the most complex but still very easy and they are gold gilded marble coasters!

I know this is a little bit late going up, but I still really wanted to post it because I think it is such a cute accent pillow for a room or home. It's also probably one of the easiest pillows to make and inexpensive as well. I decided I will still post this, even though I am putting it up when everyone is taking down fall decor and putting up winter/Christmas decor, because you could make this a winter pillow if you use like a snowflake or tree instead of a leaf. I think a snowflake one would be really pretty and perfect for winter! So you can take the idea and really customize it to fit whatever season or style you prefer! My mom made this pillow for her bench on her porch and I thought it was so pretty so she showed me how she did it and it's so easy!

I used two different containers for my candles. One was just a plain white bowl from Wal-mart and I just decorated it with an oil based sharpie. The other was a glass container with a chalkboard label on it from Hobby Lobby both were under $5.


The first thing to do is to glue down the wicks. I got my wicks from hobby lobby and I just glued them to the bottom with some hot glue.



Then just stir in the scent and pour the wax into the container.



Let them sit for about an hour until they harden up.

Hey guys! I'm so excited for today's DIY. To kick start the summer season I thought it would be a lot of fun to make some bikinis for a lot less than  you can buy them for. Recently I have been looking for some new bikinis for the summer and I have found so many that I love but they are all so expensive. I thought it would be fun to recreate some of them for A LOT less! All of these only cost me $5.00 to make, which is insanely cheap! This DIY is a little bit different than the others I have posted on this blog because I have created a YouTube channel! I thought it would be really fun to make videos that can go along with my blog because I feel like sometimes it's easier to follow when you can watch a video. So for this DIY I filmed two of the swimsuits and then did one of them in pictures for the blog. I have the video linked down below so you can see how I created the other two swimsuits.
