DIY Dried Flower Candles

hese DIY decoupage flower candles are an easy way to add a creative touch to your space with your own unique twist. I ordered dried flowers online and attached them to battery-powered candles using Aleene’s Decoupage. This decoupage can be used to adhere the flowers to the candle and seal the flowers on the candle for a smooth finish – you don’t need another adhesive for this DIY. I have Aleene’s Premium Decoupage on hand all of the time. It is a staple in my craft room, and you can order your own too!

Maria on Access Hollywood for Daisy Jones and the Six

I love a good show to dive into! Daisy Jones and the Six is a new series on Amazon Prime and it’s based on a novel with the same title. It is rumored to be inspired by the real-life story of the iconic band Fleetwood Mac. People are going crazy over this show! It’s the fashion, hair, makeup, acting, everything! The entire aesthetic is a vibe and perfect for spring.

I did a segment with Access Hollywood talking about the show along with beauty and fashion ideas to inspire your inner 70’s rocker.

Green Snack Board

A green snack board 💚💚💚 no food coloring necessary. My kids are “starving” at any given point in the day, and snack boards are my favorite way to provide them with various snack options. I always throw in healthy food, and they seem to enjoy it more when it’s displayed in a really fun way.

The key to a pretty board is placement. I always add a variety of flavors and textures. To make this St. Patrick’s friendly, I obviously, went with a green theme. The monochromatic board turned out to be really pretty. Remember, snack board are not just of kids. If you are getting a group together for the holiday, this is a crowd-pleaser, no matter the age group!

Homemade Shamrock Shake

I wanted to create a shake that had those classic flavors but without food coloring. If you like shamrock shakes, then you NEED to try this homemade version. I added fresh mint for flavor and a little spinach for color… and it’s perfection!!!

Rainbow Snack Board

Snack boards are the solution to just about every problem! My kids come home “starving” every day, and they always get really excited when I pull out something fun like this rainbow snack board 🌈🌈🌈

I know snack boards can look like a lot of work, but the truth is, I just cut up some fruit and veggies, and lined them up in rainbow colors, literally, that’s it! I love this idea for St. Patrick’s Day! Quick, easy, and no more complaining! Mix it up and use whatever veggies and fruit you and your family like!

DIY Santa's Village made with Wallpaper

Wallpaper has come such a long way in recent years and crafters rejoice because it has just become one of my favorite go-to DIY products. You can cover all sorts of things with peel and stick wallpaper such as a lampshade, cabinet back, shelves, drawers, headboard, desktop, accent wall, backsplash and more — the possibilities are truly endless. The best part is, they aren’t permanent, which gave me this super fun idea to create something seasonal, whimsical and totally temporary using a peel and stick wallpaper in a variety of colors and textures. Let your imagination run wild with this one!
