Mother’s Day is around the corner and today I have a very sweet handmade gift that is perfect for the special mother, grandmother, and mother-figure in your life! I am so excited to partner with Woodpeckers Crafts today to transform one of their sweet heart cutouts into a charming, personalized keychain with a picture and thumbprint.
I always knew colorful sharpies were fun (I actually keep a secret stash of them in my desk drawer), but who knew those simple permanent markers could make such lovely art?
Renewing an old sample craft
Back in the infancy of Woodpeckers, my job sometimes included designing samples, and crafting them, and taking photos of them with my home camera. This lovely wreath idea was born in those good old-fashioned days 🙂
Spring is almost here, and I am so excited for it! As a flower enthusiast and fan of vibrant Spring colors, I can’t wait to see all of the colorful flowers in the fields. In the meantime, I will focus on charming floral crafts I can make at home. Speaking of charming floral crafts, today I am so excited to partner with Woodpeckers Crafts to bring you a sweet and vintage-inspired flower craft for Spring: DIY Wooden Cross-Stitch Flower Pot Centerpiece.
Why settle for boring old flat paint when you can have triple the fun trying out different effects?
ALL acrylic paints are easy, smooth, quick-drying, and look good on wood (in short, our go-to paint for wood crafting).
But SOME acrylic paints are: glowy, glossy, extra-extra glossy, shiny, shimmery, pearly, iridescent, textured…. Are you salivating yet?
My kids painted our front porch as a family project last spring (aka keep-everyone-from-driving each-other-crazy Covid project). The porch was fresh and neat and perfect… until I messed it up by spray painting this wooden heart. (I did spread huge plastics all over. I have no idea how the stains got there, really.)
I say it was worth it. My kids aren’t sure. Take a look at that breathtaking heart 👇… and tell me what you think :).
With Valentine’s Day around the corner I thought it would be so much fun to honor our friendships with a DIY Galentine’s Day Party. To inspire todays DIY party décor, I found these charming heart cutouts and Love Bird Messenger cutouts from Woodpeckers Crafts. I especially love how the Love Bird Messenger cutouts from Woodpeckers Crafts are the perfect addition to any tablescape as the cutouts make the cutest napkin holders!
It’s now the tippity-end of December, and wow, what a year it’s been.
We’re incredibly grateful to our customers, followers, partners, and community for supporting our family-owned business.
But (almost!) more than that, we appreciate all of you for joining us in supporting the Arbor Day Foundation in planting trees for the future of our planet (and the future of creativity ← just as important😉)
I am so excited to share some fun and festive DIY Christmas decor with you today. I think tree villages are a whimsical and unexpected twist on Christmas decorations. Bottle brush trees get a lot of love during the holiday season, but I found some really charming trees through Woodpeckers Crafts that may just be my new favorite way to create a Christmas village.
I’m not sure when I started hoarding dried-up pens, but I do remember when I first got inspired to make a pallet-style craft. About a year ago I spotted an adorable clipboard photo holder at Hobby Lobby. It was made of wood slats, pallet-style, and I knew I wanted to replicate that pallet look on our plywood turkey cutout.
