W is for Wood Block Chandelier

diy wood block chandelier

A crazy, fun and colorful centerpiece for any occasion!  I made this wood block centerpiece from scrap 2x2 wood pieces and clear monofilament.  Although this little gem happens to be from my kids Christmas table I figured it's a versatile piece that could definitely be used for other events too.

I painted the blocks different bold colors I had on hand.  Of course you could change up the colors, use different stains or even go natural.

This is an easy, inexpensive way to add color, height and a visual centerpiece to any table setting.  And bonus it doesn't block anyone's view of people across the table!

Leather, wood and rope are a few of my favorite things and I put them altogether to make these wood wall banners.

W is for Wallpaper Wall Art Giveaway

diy wallpaper wall art (and a giveaway too!)

Wallpaper makes an easy solution for adding pattern and texture to your wall and you don't have to wallpaper the whole wall either.  I was challenged by the folks at Porch.com to make something fun and creative using wallpaper for a pattern play project.  And I actually came up with two projects: wallpaper wall art and wallpaper flower bouquet.

If you're not familiar with Porch.com yet they are a home network with connections to accredited home improvement professionals.  It is a giant information source for all things home and DIY, definitely check it out!

Porch.com teamed up with Scout & Nimble to supply us with wallpaper and I choose this Graham & Brown Kensington English rose pattern:  

Originally I never planned on coloring the flowers however when the wallpaper arrived all the beautiful black and white hand-drawn details had me looking at this paper like a coloring book.

W is for Work Apron to Zippered Pouch

Make a zippered pouch from a work apron.

It's no secret I like to build but equally I like to sew too.  Recently I made a quick trip to The Home Depot headquarters in Atlanta for the DIY Workshop kick off and amongst all the goodies they gave us was this work apron:

Super functional and lightweight, it's great for woodworking, gardening, etc but I got to thinking the canvas would make an awesome zippered pouch.  These work aprons are available at The Home Depot for an extremely economical .77 cents each so I bought a few more and made some pouches:
