Pinterest Inspired Craft Night

I’m really embarrassed to just now blog on this, but I was going through pictures tonight and came across these two fun projects I did one night while Kody did homework.

I love Pinterest, it’s just FULL of good ideas. Whoever came up with it is GENIUS!! Kody and I had collected wine corks in Hermann on our annual anniversary trip. We just asked every winery if they gave away their corks, sure enough all of them gave us a TON. I had seen this “T” on Pinterest not long after I joined.

I simply bought a “T” at Hobby Lobby for like $3. Then I just hot glued the corks onto it switching back between red and white wine corks. I love the way it turned out. It’s going to hang in our kitchenette in the basement.

I also made a Christmas card holder from Pinterest. It was fun and easy enough I wanted to make another so I made one for my MIL.

I just bought a pack of clothes pins, green spray paint, and then pinned each pin on a big box and took it outside to spray paint. IMG_9424IMG_9425

And as you can see it held up pretty well! I was so pleased, this was definitely a fun project that I will pull out next year too!

I thought your Christmas card holder was really pretty! I need to do some more pinterest crafts--I seriously just pin away and don't do any of the crafts I intend on doing.
