sticks and (no stones) jewelry organizer idea.



If you have read any of my posts before you may know that i have a fondness for using nature for any and every possible DIY decorating projects I can. For my wedding centerpieces, I literally went around the neighborhood picking up sticks and branches to use. Our church was also kind enough to let us pick their flowers so we ended up saving a lot of money! Anyways, that's little off subject.

I am always looking for handy, unique and easy to use ways to store my jewelry so that it is easily accessible and my earrings and necklaces don't get broken and tangled! I also love painting so two of my favorite things: nature and painting. woot!


It's also literally the easiest DIY project (and pretty darn cheap). The branches are free so all you need are acrylic or tempera paints and some old paint brushes. Also, I would have a bowl or jar to put them in to draw because I found it is easier to do one side of the branch, let it dry, and then do the other side. To save your self from getting paint all over the place.

Nature Inspired DIY Decorations

via diyideas.com 




I love AUTUMN! I love the colors, the smells, the preparation for the upcoming holiday season...Autumn means lots of inspiration for nature crafts and projects. Here are just a few I've found that have me chomping at the bit! I've already started collecting leaves and branches..my husband will probably wonder why I have half of our garden inside the house! oh well, one of the good things about nature crafts is that if they don't work out, or break, you aren't wasting much money and the supplies are endless! Click on the link below the picture to view the website these projects came from and how to do them!
