A cute way to send a great PERSONALIZED gift.

(1) Print 4 of your favorite photos/logos/school mascots etc.
(2) Get 4 square photo frames - glue 4 frames together in a box 📦 shape using hot glue gun & E6000. You can use the 5th frame for the bottom OR cut out a sturdy piece of cardboard to glue on bottom (recommended over frame). You can also use rectangle frames if you want a taller “vase” but create the bottom using cardboard. No 5th frame neeeded.
(3) Fill the vase with your favorite faux flowers. That’s it!
Think Mother’s Day, birthday gifts, teacher’s gifts, boss gifts, or create a festive piece for your holiday party filled with family photos. You can change out flowers to match changing decor, party, or holiday theme. ENJOY 🥰

I love crafting & creating things with a twist. I made my 1st 2nd line ☂️umbrella. All you need is patience & a hot glue gun. It was fairly quick & easy.

DIY cone🌲Christmas Tree decor. I needed tall ones and I was NOT spending $60 for a set. Wasn’t buying the cardboard cones either. Dollar Tree poster board & ribbon. Pay attention to ribbon spool length. Total project cost, about $10! 🤩

Want to add a custom decoration to theme this year? Check out this DIY mussel 🌲Christmas tree set. Oysters would work, as well. I love mussels and when I cooked them, I realized how beautiful the shell was. Use cardboard cones, a hot glue gun, & patience. I learned the hard way that styrofoam doesn’t work best. You can also make your own cone with old cardboard or poster board. Spray paint the cone if you think gaps will be showing. HAPPY CRAFTING! 🐚

Christmas Tree 🌲 SKIRT HACK: had a hard time finding a large enough skirt to fit my 12ft tree. The large shimmery/shiny material ones were $60. I found plush sofa throw for $24.99 that does the trick. Small tree in foyer area has a plush throw for $10. YEEEEEESSSS. Follow for more Christmas craft cost saving tips!
