Craft of the Week: "Nesting" Bowls



Happy Monday, everyone! I've got a simple, seasonal craft for you today. I was inspired by all the pretty spring displays I've been seeing on Pinterest and other blogs lately, so I decided to make something of my own. Our family room is a work in progress, and one of the things I have yet to do is paint the dark brown wood of the mantel. I'm also working on pictures and accessories, so our mantel has had a hodge podge of stuff on it for the last several weeks that doesn't match at all. Nothing a trip to Jo-Ann's wouldn't fix! I'll share what the mantel looks like later, but for now, here's how I made this "nesting" bowl out of...what else?

"Nesting" Bowl
Nap Rating = 1 nap


Supplies

  • one small bowl

  • yarn in color of your choice

  • artificial moss

  • artificial eggs



  • I used these reusable tabs by Scotch because they'll remove easily without damaging the bowl--just in case I ever wanted or needed my nesting bowl. But you could also use double-sided tape or a hot glue gun and glue sticks if you're sure you won't want your bowl for anything else later on.

  • scissors


Steps

  1. Starting at the base of the bowl, place the reusable tabs at even intervals around the circumference of the base.

  2. Start wrapping the yarn around and around, using your finger to secure the yarn on the tabs. Keep wrapping until you need another row of tabs.

  3. When you've gotten to the top of the bowl, cut the string and secure to the last tab.

  4. Fill the bowl with moss and heap the eggs on top.


I hesitated to even type out these instructions because this was so simple, but just in case there was any question...

Happy Spring!

You may have a holiday party or two to attend in the next couple of weeks...or maybe you already went and showed up empty-handed. Here are some handpicked hostess gifts that go beyond the ubiquitous bottle of wine. Show up with one of these, or send one along post-party with a thank you note, and you're sure to be invited next year! Keep in mind that many of these shops have "Gifts Under $25" collections, so if you don't find what you want here, browse a bit more. And finally, do yourself a favor and stock up! I made sure to include really reasonably-priced things so you can buy in multiples and not break the bank. Haitian Spirit Recycled Steel Ornaments --The Hunger Site Store (every purchase from this site helps fight hunger) Sassari Napkin Rings --Crate and Barrel Wine Cork Candles --Vat 19 (I know I've handpicked these before...I think they're that cool.) Owl Salt and Pepper Shakers --Pier 1 (they have lots of other cute sets, too) Set of Kitchen Towel

Peaches and Cream Scones

Good morning, sunshines! Sadly, peach season is coming to a rapid close, but before it's gone for another year, you've gotta try these scones! They taste like peach cobbler that you can hold in your hand! If you recall, I rounded up some great peach recipes for you a few weeks back, and this was one I just had to try myself. The recipe comes from A Latte Food . The only thing I changed was the amount of vanilla that went in the glaze. I decreased it from 1 T. to 1 tsp. Hop on over to A Latte Food for the full recipe, then swipe up the last of summer's peaches before they're gone!

Blue and Red Valentine Decorations

Hey there! Happy Monday! Have you undecorated for Christmas yet? I have to do a decoration detox for a bit after the holidays. I keep the decor to a minimum, but around now, I start to think about Valentine's Day decorations. I think it's hard to work with red and pink since our house is mostly blue, gray and green. But these blue and red Valentine craft ideas would look great in our house, and maybe yours, too! via via via via via via via via via You May Also Like: Key to Our Hearts Valentine Art DIY Heart Crayons Grilled Chocolate Marshmallow Sandwiches Vintage Valentine Crafts
