Farmhouse Kitchen Decor

I have all these frames I got from some friends and I have been playing with how to use them in fun ways.  Here is one where I turned them into a pair of wall decor art pieces for the kitchen, with a farmhouse rustic feel.

I loved the idea of the honeycomb paper "Sweet as Honey" in the Hazelwood Collection from a collection by 1canoe2 and American Crafts paired with a kitchen theme.  Here is a video on how to make this fun kitchen decor.

The colors were perfect for a rustic look, adding in a little spoon and fork to as the focal point, and then little touches of the cork embellishments just make it all amazing!

Taking an old frame that is gathering dust and re-purposing it for something else is fun, gives your old items some new life.  The paint is easy to sand off to give it that old rustic and weathered look, and it even work amazing on the fork painted black and sanded!

I used my Xyron Creative Station to apply sticky to the back of all the cork pieces to all me to stick them to the frame, it works wonderfully!!

DIY Folded Cone Treat Bags for Party Favors or Teacher Gifts

My kids have teacher appreciation this week at their school and I fully believe that our teachers need all the love and support we can give them!!  So a little extra something, even if it is small, means so much....and even more if it is handmade!!  So I made these fun treat bags filled with a little something for the teachers all made from scrapbook supplies!!

Here is a detailed video on how to make these fun treat bags!

I filled these fun little treat bags with some treats the teachers could keep in their desks and not get yucky, so some tea bags, hard candies, and chocolates...plus a few loose flowers for fun.

Each treat bag is made from a section of 12x12 paper from the American Crafts Pink Paislee Confetti Wishes collection cut down to 8x8 inches and folded into a cone (to learn how please see the video).  I used the Xyron Mega runner to help keep the two side stuck together.  It is amazing how a little strip of glue works wonders!!

To hold the cone together to keep all the yummy treats I punched holes using the W R Memory Keepers Big Bite in the top flap and tied it with some matching colored ribbon complete with a cute little tag that complements each cone treat bag.

The tags are made using the American Crafts Bazzill cardstock papers that match the collections and the stickers and chipboard elements from the American Crafts Pink Paislee Confetti Wishes collection.  Some of the stickers and chipboard stuck out on the sides and were still sticky.  Super easy fix, just get out your Xyron Adhesive Eraser and it removes the sticky from the backs of the stickers that you no longer want sticky.  It is like magic!

I just love this American Crafts Pink Paislee Confetti Wishes collection because not only is it filled with amazing tropical papers, but it also works perfect for birthdays.  I did not use any of the "birthday" elements for this project (you know I will at some point), but I am totally in love with the tropical papers and parrots!!!

The fun thing about these DIY treat bags is you can put what ever you like inside them and make them any colors you want!!  Just switch out the stickers and embellishments on the tags and you have cute little birthday treat cones!!

What would you make for a teacher appreciation gift?
