I make leather crafts and always have scraps laying around.
Remember even if you dont have enough of one color you’re able to make a patchwork pattern.
I made a leather envelope pouch with one closure, using only leather glue.
For an extra special touch, you might add initials with stamping tools and a mallet.
These are a perfect DIY Christmas gift that looks like a high-end Coach or another name brand.

I used Duck Egg Blue and French Linen.
After they dried I used a damp kitchen sponge to distress them.
I waxed them to protect the finish and give it a polished look.
Then I embellished them with some craft supplies I had on hand.
A handmade gift is always special and this one is affordable and takes less than an hour!
All you need is nail polish, water and a blank canvas.
Check out the video to learn how to make some for yourself.
I had enough to give all my kids teachers and they were thrilled.
They were so cute and had a lovely 2 tone copper and silver effect.
I got cheap miniature vases from the Dollar Store and made some bright confetti with my hole punch.
I put flowers in them and placed them on the wall of the entryway to greet our guests.
They looked so spectacular.
I recommend this project 100%!
Gold Leaf Paper Mache Bowls

So, I think this might be my favorite DIY to date.
Its just so practical and pretty!
We had been wanting to try out gold leaf for a while now.
And we thought these paper mache bowls would be a perfect tool.
Our intent was to use them as jewelry dishes.
We used balloons, newspaper, and modpodge to make the bowls.
We used the gold leaf as in the DIY tutorial, but craft paint does very nicely as well.
This is a very rewarding project and will not disappoint on any level.

Purchasing the succulents from the garden store was actually the hardest part of this whole project.
There are just so many shapes, sizes, and colors of succulents to choose from!
DIY Gilded Insect Faux Taxidermy

So obviously, Im in favor of using insects to decorate my home!
Todays project is a fun wall decor idea Ive had bouncing around in my head for months.
Im so glad I finally decided to take an afternoon and bring it to life!
I used giant plastic insects, liquid gold leaf, and wooden plaques.
The end result was the coolest, most glam, modern insect art you ever did see!
This is a super easy pattern if you have beginner skills.
I made one for my step daughter who is very into the hippy BoHo look.
