February: Flops and Favorites- Day 4

#4

Here's my inspiration. I think this was one of the first things I pinned.

I love these. Don't they look easy? Here's my version.

A little different, but I think it is my favorite. I bought the beads in Ghana.

February: Flops and Favorites- Day 3

This one was a favorite, but it turned out to be a flop. Sad.

I have seen this tutorial all over Pinterest, so I decided to give it a try.

Sounds so easy, right?

Unfortunately, it washes right off. I've looked into some different tutorials, and somebody suggested using oil-base Sharpies. Not sure if it would work, but it would be worth a try.

I'm just not going to use this one for tea.

See how it's already coming off? It hasn't even been washed yet.

Too bad that was a flop. It would have been a fun easy craft!

#2  Bucket List

This could be one of my top 10 favorite projects. I love how it turned out.

Here is my Pinspiration (see what I did there?)...

Unfortunately, I don't know where this came from.

Super cute, right? I kept saying I had a bucket list, but it was all in my head. At the beginning of the semester, I made this beauty to keep up with all the fun that needed to happen before graduation.

The frame came from Goodwill, and I added the cork.  The bucket was in the dollar section at Target, and then I just used some index cards. I really like the chicken wire on the original, but I have no idea where you buy chicken wire. Lowe's? Maybe?

I've had fun marking things off my list. And adding new things!
