DIY pom-pom heart Banner

I used our DIY Wooden Hearts  to make this pom-pom banner for Valentine's Day. 
They come in a set of 10, but I only used 5.

1) Using an acrylic paint (I used DecoArt), paint a base color.

2) Use a glue gun to adhere pink, red, and white pom-poms until each heart is covered.


3) Use a twine to string the hearts on, hang, & enjoy!
Super easy to make!

Halloween Bat Tutorial & Pattern


I made these bats a few years ago on my old blog. They were pretty popular, so I thought I'd add them on this blog too. These are super easy and inexpensive to make.

1) Click HERE to download my PDF bat pattern.
2) Print Pattern.
3) Cut out pattern and trace bats onto black stiff felt, or black card-stock.
4) Cut bats from felt or card-stock.
5) Glue a square piece of paper or card-stock to the back of the bat. This will make hanging the bats using masking tape easier.
6) hang from mantel, ceiling, stair railings, & etc. (I used masking tape to adhere the bats to my wall and fireplace mantel.
7) Optional: I folded each side of the bat to the center to make them look like they are flying.
