My Crafty Spot - When Life Gets Creative | - Part 2

Nautical Embellished Picture Frame

May 23, 2017 By Katie Stahl 1 Comment

Yay! It’s May which just so happens to be my all time favorite month of the year! For several reasons I love this month, but one of them is that it means summer, boating, lakes, and warmer weather are just around the corner (I’m up here in Minnesota and we can have some brutal winters).

To celebrate the fact that boating season will soon be upon us, today I’m sharing a quick and easy way to take a regular picture frame and add some nautical, summer inspired flair to it.

Simple, cute … and so easy! Adds a little interest to a plain frame, huh?

DIY Painted Mug Tutorial

April 13, 2017 By Erin Kennedy 2 Comments

Hi there! I have a very fun and simple craft for you today! I have been seeing tons of Sharpie painted cups on Pinterest. Although this seems like a pretty neat way to create a personalized mug, I have often heard that the marker fades after a few washings.

Bunny Bum Easter Buckets

I don’t know about you, but when I find a great deal on craft supplies, I pick them up. I always feel great that I am saving money, but then I get to a point when I am overwhelmed with the amount of supplies I have accumulated. That is when we hold “crafting marathons” at our house. The kiddos and I grab a bunch of supplies and spread out on the table and create until our creative juices run dry. 😉

That is exactly what I did for this project.

DIY Lucky Sign

March 10, 2017 By Lindsay Eidahl Leave a Comment

Hello My Crafty Spot readers! It is Lindsay from My Creative Days here to share a DIY project to help celebrate St. Patrick’s Day tomorrow.

I am someone who loves to see the potential in ~~almost~~ everything. I keep stacks of old wood, miscellaneous metal pieces and odds and ends from all of my projects because I know I can reuse them for something else. This sign is a great example of that. I had a left over horseshoe in our garage and some old, wood boards that I wanted to bring together for a sign on St. Patrick’s Day.
