While I was browsing through Target last week I came across Mason Jar Lid Inserts for turning Mason Jars into Tealights. Naturally, I had to buy a pack, and take them home to make sparkly St. Patrick’s Day Mason Jar Tealights.

Winter took a while to arrive, but now it is here with a vengeance! To take advantage of the cold weather and add a little decorative style to our front porch I made these DIY Ice Lanterns, candle holders made of ice.
They look so gorgeous sparkling on the porch among the white snow! I got the idea from this Pinterest pin, which suggests using the Ice Candles as decoration for a winter wedding. I’m not planning a wedding, but I thought they would make a great winter front porch deccoration too, and they are easy to make with stuff you have around the house.
Ever since I was a child I have loved making homemade ornaments for our Christmas tree! These are some cute Pine Cone Men Ornaments that my kids and I made for this year’s tree!
I remember making these ornaments with my mom, so I wanted to recreate that experience with my kids. Over the weekend we set off to collect pine cones and acorn caps from our backyard, and found quite a few pine cones and not as many acorn caps. I think our search would have been a little more fruitful if we had done it a month earlier, but planning ahead is not my strong point. You could of course buy some of each at a craft store if you don’t have an easy source available.

I saw a cute Candy Corn Wreath on Pinterest, and decided I had to make one of my own.
I had almost an entire bag of candy corn left after making the Candy Corn Fruit and Yogurt Parfait earlier in the week, so this seemed like the perfect way to use it up. I suppose eating it would have worked too, but that seemed like a bad idea!
Candy corn can be pretty addictive to eat, so turning it into a decoration is a great way to eliminate the temptation.

Last week my daughter bought me a mini-daffodil plant, because she knows they are my favorite flower. Flowers are a great way to brighten up the winter doldrums and remind ourselves that spring is just around the corner!
So I asked my daughter to make me some flower pots to hold the daffodils, along with some herbs that I have had sitting on the window sill in the kitchen. She found this pin on Pinterest which made thumbprint polka dots all over a terracotta flower pot, and changed it up by making thumbprint butterflies on the flower pots.
Looking for a simple Easter decoration? Check out this Easter Peeps Garland I made – it is fast, easy, cheap and quite cute!
To make the Peeps garland I gathered two packages of Peeps along with a whole bunch of jelly beans. Then I threaded a needle with white thread and started stringing Peeps interspersed with jelly beans.
I have been making naturally dyed Easter Eggs for years, and it is always fun to see the colors that you can create from nature. This year I saw some Onion Dyed Easter Eggs on Pinterest that had leaf patterns imprinted on them. I was intrigued, and found that the pin linked to this Craftster message board, which had all the instructions. I decided to make some of my own, using herbs along with a wider variety of natural dyes. Here are my natural herb stenciled Easter Eggs!
They came out even better than I expected, and weren’t too difficult to make either. Pantyhose are used to hold the herbs tight against the eggs during the dying process. Although the original project used blown eggs I hard boiled my eggs, because it seems simpler to me, and because my kids love hardboiled eggs for a snack. Here is how I created the Easter Eggs.
It looks like spring might finally be here – our snow is melting and we can actually see grass! To celebrate I made this pretty Spring Tulle Wreath with Butterflies.
It was very easy to make, and took less than an hour from start to finish. And it is brightening up my front door now and reminding me that nicer weather will be here soon!
Easter is less than a week away! Decorating for Easter doesn’t have to be complicated, there are lots of fun things you can do with simple things like plastic eggs, paper and even Peeps. Here is a great collection of 12 Easy Easter Decor idea that you can use to make your Easter table festive and fun for family and friends.
Easter will be here before you know it, so I decided to start decorating last week. The weather here is still cold and snowy, so maybe if I start decorating for Spring it will come sooner!
Peeps are popular all year round now, but to me they are most traditional at Easter. I always used to love the Peeps in my Easter basket when I was a kid, and I make sure to put some in my kids’ baskets too. But now that I am older I find them too sweet to eat, so they work better as Easter decorations for me.
