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.

    DO LOVE #2. Must admit that I never get on Pinterest for fear of being sucked into the vortex!

    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!

#ZbarPartner I know these days won’t last forever, #ZbarPartner I know these days won’t last forever, so I’m soaking up every driveway game, every laugh, every little break in the grass. 🤍 

Lately our go-to has been Zbar Protein Snack Bars, especially the new Strawberries ‘N Creme flavor that is made with organic whole grain oats, real fruit, and protein to help support growing kids. It’s a snack she loves and I feel good about too. 

It’s a great little reset so she can get right back to doing what she does best, playing her heart out 💕

Getting older, I started noticing my hair wasn’t q Getting older, I started noticing my hair wasn’t quite the same. A little more thinning, my scalp hasn’t felt the same, and I’ve spent more time just throwing it up into a ponytail, and honestly not giving it much thought beyond that. 🤷🏻‍♀️

So I started becoming more intentional about actually taking care of my hair and scalp, and it’s such a small shift, but it really does make me feel better.

I’ve been using Mochi Health’s personalized hair support options, which makes it easier to stay consistent instead of guessing what to use. It fits into my routine and finally feels like I’m doing something proactive for myself instead of just hiding it in a bun. Check out the link in my bio for $40 off your first month.

Embarkation day on the Disney Wonder out of San Diego is pure organized chaos in the best way. Bags everywhere, everyone buzzing, and that moment you step onboard and suddenly forget how to function like a normal human.

We’re talking: Where are we even going first? Do we eat or explore or both immediately? Why does this already feel like the best decision ever?

And then the sail a wave party happens and… yeah. You’re gone. Mentally, emotionally, everything. 😭

If you know, you know…embarkation day hits different 🚢✨

Thanks @bestdayevervacay and Disney for hosting us on this magical adventure! Use the 🔗 in my bio to let then plan a cruise just like mine, down to the last detail!

Self-care always felt like something I’d start “wh Self-care always felt like something I’d start “when life slows down.”
So… never. 👀

I wanted something simple, personalized, and actually doable, not a 47-step routine I’d abandon in two days. That’s why I started using Mochi Health for skincare + wellness support, and it’s been one small thing that makes me feel more put together (even when I’m not).

If you’ve been wanting to get your skin and wellness together without overthinking it, I shared more in the reel. Link in bio for $40 off your first month.
