This may be the easiest project I have ever done or shared!  Make an adorable button ring in 5 minutes.  What a great way to use the gorgeous buttons available in thrift stores and flea markets.  If you can use glue, you can do this.

I found some beautiful wooden buttons in the scrapbook supplies at Joann’s recently and knew I wanted to make a bracelet using them.  This project is super quick and easy.  If you can open jump rings with pliers and use glue, you are well on your way to a cool piece of button bling!

 Free Printable Modern Christmas Tags copy[pinit]

We made some modern printable Christmas gift tags for our neighbor holiday treat bags and you can download them here for free at the end of this post.  The download contains all versions of the tags on one 8×11.5 sheet so you can print them all on one page.  I customized 2 of the tags with a neighbor message in case you want to make some festive Christmas baked goods for inexpensive, handmade neighbor gifts.

Holiday printable gift tags

I found an old vintage Christmas tin at the antique market and decided to use it to package my famous no-bake cookies; Quick and Easy Chocolate Peanut Butter No-bake Cookies.  I taped the “Holiday Treats” tag onto brown craft paper, added washi tape, hole punched and added a twine bow.  For a vintage look I sand distressed the edges.  Easy, fast, and totally sweet.

These cute treat bags are from the Dollar Tree.  I think 4-5 per package is what you get for your buck.  My neighbors loved what they found inside, and I think you would too…

These hand painted rustic signs are a little addictive, and pretty easy to make.  Pam from Little Red Porch came over and showed us her technique in this  DIY Rustic Wood Sign .  I made a video showing you how to use Photoshop to print your text in sections so you can tape them together for transferring large art to wood in this Americana Chalky Finish Paint Sign Tutorial.  Today I am sharing this Merry and Bright sign, as well as the text file for you to print off to create your own like I showed you in the links above mentioned.

Hand Stamped Leather Bracelet Love

Creative bloggers are pretty much just rad, if I do say so myself.  In August, I had the opportunity to gather with my people in Atlanta at  a blogging conference (not  a clogging conference, as my friend Rick misunderstood, although that could be interesting too).  That is where I met Daune from Cottage in the Oaks.  I was admiring a beautiful leather cuff bracelet she was rockin’, and I found out, not surprisingly, that she had made it herself.  How cool would it be to have one with my blog name on it, I expressed.  Guess what came in the mail!!

I love that it came with lavender in the package!  My favorite scent.  The bracelet is gorgeous.  You can order your own custom text bracelet from Daune, or pick one that speaks to you in her Etsy Shop.

What.  You are a DIYer and you wanna make your own?  Little Blue Boo has a great DIY hand stamped leather cuff bracelet tutorial:
