DIY Wood Ribbon Storage

DIY Wood Ribbon Storage

Hi there! I’m Shayna from The Wood Grain Cottage and I’m so very excited to be part of the Infarrantly Creative contributor team! What an honor! Right now, my husband and I are working on our home office. We’re giving it a makeover… and definitely adding some organization, which leads me to today’s project. I really like ribbon and I have a habit of collecting it, but the problem was, I didn’t have anywhere to display it. I’d toss it in a basket and then forget about it. I wanted something that would be pretty enough to sit out, and big enough to hold several rolls of ribbon and store a few extra rolls too.

Recycled Wine Cork Book Boxes

Recycled Wine Cork Book Boxes

I know there are many wine enthusiasts out there.  Wine drinking has become a hobby in America.  Unfortunately I don’t drink wine.  I guess I am not sophisticated enough and still have the palate of 3 year old.  But I am hopeful I will find a wine a like SOMEDAY. However, I love the corks and the bottles and all the ways to upcycle them.  Today Carmel is showcasing a project that uses corks and books to create little storage accessories for your bookshelves or desk.

DIY Upcycled T-shirt Dress

I am loving upcycling old t-shirts.  T-shirt material is so forgiving and it usually doesn’t need extra prep for the edges not to fray.  I was inspired by Cheri from I am Momma Hear Me Roar to try my sewing skills at using t-shirts to make a layered dress for Kayla. I must say once you get the hang of it you can’t stop making them.  They are so fun and embellishing makes them each unique.

Coffee Table Tray with Drawer {Lowes Creative Idea}

Coffee Table Tray with Drawer {Lowes Creative Idea}

I am so excited about this project.  This tray is perfect for a coffee table because it has a little drawer to hide things like magazines and remote controls.  Another idea is to put school supplies in it for a homework station or have it on a kitchen table and store things like extra silverware and napkins.  It is rather heavy so it won’t really work for a serving tray.  But it is nice to have where it will stay in place and be able to serve as some hiding place organization.

Laura from Finding Home is back sharing how she turned yet another door into something amazing.  I think the girl has an endless supply of old doors.  But she can keep working it because the girl has some mad skillz of making some amazing projects with doors.  And this bathroom storage idea is no exception.

Halloween Felt Flower Ruffle Wreath

Halloween Felt Flower Ruffle Wreath

Is it too early to start decorating for Halloween?  I usually say September 15th in this house, what say you?  This wreath could easily be made for any season with a different color felt and ribbon.  It reminds me of those circle ruffle wreaths that were so popular (and still are!) are couple of years back.  I love the ruffle-y texture that the flower shape gave on this one.

How to Make Felt Flower Headbands

How to Make Felt Flower Headbands

My daughter is obsessed with headbands.  It probably has to do with the fact that I bought her a bunch of headbands a year ago and she broke all of them and I told her she wasn’t old enough to wear them because she couldn’t take care of them.  Well that just made headbands the forbidden fruit.  So a few months back I bought her another one and told her she can’t stretch them out or wear them on her belly (yes, true story!) and now she won’t take them off.  I will put her hair in two braids and five minutes later she has popped a headband over it.
