Diy Red, White, + Blue Ikat Flower Pot

I have had this IKEA plant pot laying around for quite some time now. In fact, I almost got rid of it twice, but for some reason I just kept deciding last minute to hang on to it. I finally decided to do something with it! Yay!

Using a red and blue Sharpie, I scribbled diamond shapes over the existing raised shapes on the pot. Creating a sort of ikat design. It was a very simple way to dress up this otherwise neutral pot. Plus it will look perfect with my Fourth of July decor.

I really love how this turned out. I hope you do to. xo Britt

DIY Baby Swimsuit Revamp

The Dollar Tree is basically my favorite place. For the record I am not getting paid to say that. I just really love it. I am slightly embarrassed about the number of times that I have been there in the past few weeks. 🙊 It's been A LOT. 

I don't always find a ton of stuff when I go, but they have some really awesome stuff sometimes. And it's only a dollar! It's amazing. One of my trips there last week, I spotted this little purple swimming suit, hanging in the summer section. I decided to but it for Sophie. I just knew that I could do something fun to it. I am so glad that I did!! I love it so much. Plus I only spent like $1.25 on a super cute extra swimming suit for my little miss.

I cut the straps where they connect to the suit in the back. I then added five colorful beads to both sides. Next I added a bead to the end of the strap to keep it from getting unraveled. I used hot glue to keep it on there. It ties like a halter top now. 

This swimming suit and baby are my favorite! I love how this was super simple and cheap, but looks so dang cute! I actually went back and bought one in pink so that I can come up with another fun revamp. I am sure I will be showing you soon. xo Britt

Simple DIY Gem Frame

I love me some super simple DIYs!
I was going to get rid of this frame, but I decided to add a little spray paint and give it new life. And I am so glad that I did.  

Supplies: 

• frame
• gems
• glue
• spraypaint (optional) 

Using some glue and gems that I had in my craft supplies, I dressed up this little frame.  I didn't really have a plan. I just started putting the gems on randomly until I had a design that I loved.

This looks so adorable in Sophie's room! I am so happy that I decided to not get rid of it! xo Britt

DIY Personalized Travel Clutch

I love having things to help keep Noah occupied when we are out. I decided to make a little clutch that I can just throw in the diaper bag to help hold some fun things for him to play with. 

Supplies:

• plastic canvas (like this one)
• yarn
• yarn needle

I folded the plastic canvas about two thirds of the way up. Leaving enough space to have a flap that folds over. 

Using the yarn I weaved all around the edges to hold it all together. Then I of course had to add a fun personal touch on the flap. 

This is such a simple DIY. Plus it's super cute. And it holds all kinds of fun stuff to keep Noah occupied.

I seriously love how this turned out!  I really hope you love it too! xo Britt

DIY Mini Splatter Paint Shoes

You know how when I made the mini name bracelets, I said that everything was extra cute when it was tiny? Well I wasn't lying. 

Check out these little splatter paint shoes! 

I have had this little pair of shoes since Noah was a baby. He wore them one time and then his little chunky feet grew too thick for them to fit anymore. I had put them in Sophie's Shoe drawer before she was even born, knowing that someday she would fit into them. 

I was going through her shoes the other day and I saw them again. I got this crazy idea that I should do something fun with them. And for some reason splatter paint popped in my head. I am still not too sure how my brain works, but I decided to go with it. 

Supplies:

• shoes
• paint
• paint brushes
• tape
• newspaper

I taped around the soles of the shoes, as to not get paint all over (that was actually the hardest part and it took the longest). I placed some newspaper down and went to splattering.

I put an ample amount of paint on my brush and then used another brush to tap the paint off. I did a few practice splatters on my news paper to get the hang of it before I went crazy on the shoes.y

I think the pink adds a fun and girly touch to the otherwise neutral shoes. I love how they turned out + I hope you do too! xo Britt
