5 Pinterest Crafts

March 15, 2013 | craft

Ok, show of hands, who loves Pinterest? Pretty sure almost everyone. next question, who pins tons of cool things and ideas, but then never actually does them? Um…guilty! I will be the first to admit I am not a crafty person. However, there are some seriously cute, cool, functional, and smart ideas on Pinterest I would be wise to take advantage of. Here are five that I really like and hope to try/implement/do in the near future.

1.)  Towel baskets: We don’t have a ton of shelf space in our master bathroom, so the towels are currently under the sink. I think this is a cute and cheap way to give us back our sink space and display our towels. Plus, it looks simple enough! I like these Rattique Baskets.

2.) Great gift idea! Put stick-on decals on a picture frame and remove the back of the frame.

3.) Nail Polish Keys: Paint nail polish on different keys so you know which is which.

4.) No Sew Curtains. Panel of fabric, curtain rod, curtain rings with clamps, easy!

5.) Pretty serving tray: glue a bowl, 2 plates and 2 candlestick holders together

Writing this post has totally got me into a crafty mood! I so envy those women with awesome craft blogs and home decorating/organizing blogs. I think I have a thing or two to learn!

On another note, so glad today is Friday. It has been a bit of a roller coaster week, so ready to relax with Bobby and catch up on some things here at the house. Have a great day everyone!

QOTD: Have you ever created a Pinterest project? How did it turn out? Would love to see links to pins of your favorites or ones you want to try!

    Love the towel basket idea!

    I’m also not very crafty, but I’m currently busy with my very first Pinterest project. It’s also an easy and straight-forward one, but one I hope will add a lot of personality to our (empty) walls! I’ll be doing an before and after on my blog soon.

    Love all of these ideas! Honestly, I use Pinterest more for recipes than crafts, but I like that these all seem pretty simple.

    I have #2 pinned as well. I wanted to do that for a friend as a gift but could never find letters that large or even stencils.

    Okay-I LOVE the towel basked idea. I’m so doing that this weekend-thanks!! (And yes I pin all kinds of recipes, crafts, and organizational stuff and rarely refer to them again-lol!)

    Hi Heather! I’m a new follower and I’m loving your blog! Pinterest has sent me running to hobby lobby many times but then life gets in the way and I never get around to actually doing those cute projects! Ha!

    I’ve done a handful of Pinterest crafts and most of them have come out pretty well! I like picture frame with the initals, that is super cute! I’m not crafty at all so they have to be really easy for me not to screw them up 🙂

    I love Pinterest and have pinned so many pins I’ve never done anything with. My friends and I try and do a craft project together about once every 6 weeks and it is usually from an idea on Pinterest. We buy all the stuff together and it works out cheaper dividing up the cost between all of us than if you were just doing it on your own. Plus we can then help each other if things go wrong or we aren’t sure. We’ve made coasters out of tiles. Decoupage paintings. Magnets. And more recently embroidery hoop wall hangings. You should definitely try some projects out and I highly recommend rounding up some friends to do it with.

    I LOVE the idea of being crafty…but I’m not crafty lol! Pinterest is awesome!!! I really need to do some of the things I’ve pinned!

    I love Pinterest! It definitely makes me think I’m crafty, but a lot of my projects end in Pinterest fails!

Sometimes we (myself included) all need a little reminder that this app shows short snippets of the entirety of someone’s day and life. No one wants to post the boring, the ugly, the sad, but it’s there. 

Be careful not to compare your life with the people you see online. A lot of the things you see are inaccurate or a stretch of the truth, or just the best of the best. That’s not reality and I want to make sure no one thinks that I am ever trying to portray some perfect life that doesn’t exist. I’m a hot mess 99% of the time, and that’s ok! 😜

I sometimes am still waiting on an adult to walk into the room to tell me what to do….and then I remember I AM the adult. 🤣

When we get down to it, we are all very similar. I love you guys.

From laying out my workout clothes to packing my daughter’s basketball bag… and yes, remembering my vitamins — staying proactive just makes life run smoother.

But I realized it shouldn’t just stop with me. My dogs are part of the family too. 💛 So when I’m grabbing our wellness essentials at select Walmart stores, I make sure to pick up our NaturVet pet supplements right from the Pet Health aisle.

At home, it’s simple: I get my vitamins and supplements, and they get theirs. Staying a step ahead means taking care of all of us — two-legged and four-legged. 🐶✨
