Corinne Schmitt — Mon, 23 Jan 2017 14:11:51 +0000

Are you looking to do something fun with the kids that doubles as a snack AND a craft? They will have so much fun making this Valentine Snack Craft! I will be doing this fun activity for my daughters classroom Valentine’s Day party! She’s in 1st grade and I try to help out and do fun things as much as possible they will love it!! And it’s so cute to see them all.

Every winter I have my sisters and the kids over for a hot chocolate bar party and we have so much fun! I’m thinking I’m going to start this little treat as a fun tradition also. I like being the cool fun aunt and this will add a cute touch.

This awesome fun treat only has 4 items which makes my mom heart sing! Easy and simple to clean up yes please!! you can’t go wrong here! and I didn’t have a ton extra so no guilt about bundling it up and tossing it!

This was so easy as you can tell from the set up above! and while we were making these it gave me the idea I can do this same type of treat for every holiday just change it up a bit. Like for St. Patrick’s day I want to use green icing and lucky charms.

If you decide to do this fro a classroom party all these items can be purchased very cheap at your local dollar store that’s where all this came from.

Let me know if you have any questions at all about this neat treat!! I love to see ya’ll try my creations show me if you do!! have fun! thanks so much for coming by! makes my day!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Hey y’all happy weekend !! Woot woot I love weekends and they go by extremely fast !!

So that’s even more reason to live easy faster mini crafts.

My sister recently bought a new house and they are painting and cleaning up the yard like crazy people. She cut this branch down a few days ago and knew I would want it for something.

She was right… I now have the perfect jewelry hanger on my wall. Obviously this is so easy but it was so fun.

All you need is:
Branch.
Paint.
Cup Hooks.
And screws to hang it.

All I did was spray paint it white.

Let it dry for a little while and brought it inside to add a personal touch to it. I used a teal color and gold.

I love it !!! And it’s just a extra special touch to the house that I make more and more home daily.

I screwed a few cup Hooks in and then the hubby hung it for me.

Now y’all go try !!! And show me !! Enjoy it was fun and neat.

Thanks so much for stopping by it makes my day !

Corinne Schmitt — Mon, 06 Jul 2015 02:16:23 +0000

Y’all know I love easy fast crafts ! And this one was so fun ! Did it all during nap time woot woot that’s always a plus right ? I’m the opposite of OCD so odd and different crafts are right up my alley and I don’t put way to much thought into it. I just have fun and go with it.

What you need:
Sticks.
Paint.
Paint Brush.
Vase or Jar.

How you do it:
1. Paint your sticks a base color I choose white cause I had white spray paint and knew it could be covered easy if needed.
2. Pick the colors you want to use I used three different colors but you can use one of ten whatever you like.
3. Put a few coats on them and let dry.

Thats all y’all and it looks so cute sitting outside near my huge planter. I love odd and different things displayed and items that catch peoples eye this is definitely one of those. Adds extra personality to your home.

Hope y’all love this and go do it !!

DIY Painted Mason Jars + Giveaway

Corinne Schmitt — Sun, 14 Jun 2015 00:16:36 +0000

Hey y’all I had so much fun painting these Mason Jars !! It’s so easy ! I will show you how step by step with explanation + a chance to win a set!

Jars.
Paint.
Glitter (if you want).
Spray glue for glitter.
Sand paper to make it rustic a little bit.
Sponge brushes.

That’s all !!!

1) Clean off the jars and make sure they are dry.

2) With the sponge brush, paint the jar. (Repeat this for about 3 coats. Wait 20-30 min in between coats.)

3) Using sandpaper or a sanding block, distress the words and areas that would seem to get naturally scuffed.

4) Enjoy ya’ll it really was that easy !! I know the directions seem small and they are but it’s easy so you can do it !! Just try a few tips to look at down below.

I did this whole set in less than 2 hours. At the end i did spry with a clear coat just to seal them you don’t have to but i wanted to protect the glitter.

Now a few tips & tricks that helped me along the way:

– A lot of people say paint the inside of the jars I did NOT do this I did’y find that it was needed.

– I simply put my hand in the jar it wouldn’t go all the way in i just put it enough to paint the whole thing and move it around a bit as needed.

– When adding glitter to the rim if that’s the style you want don’t spray the glitter on it gets all over. I sprayed my sponge brush with the glue then applied where needed. and then sprinkled the glitter.

– The longer they dry between each coat the better.

– When applying the 2nd coat you will notice a but of paint “peeling” don’t stress it’s okay cause on coat 3 it covers it up & then when you distress with the sand paper it looks like it’s supposed to be that way.

– I used three different paints two were satin finish and one was matte the matte one honestly looks and works better.

– All my pictures will show my setup and what all i used as well.

– All you need is a tiny piece of sandpaper… go over the words and a few areas around the jar VERY lightly.

– Anytime i post a DIY craft you can ALWAYS ask me questions if i’m not clear on something

– If ya’ll like these as much as I do you can enter the giveaway at the bottom to win a set.

Thanks so much for stopping by ya’ll !!! Hope you loved it !

No PANE to this.

Corinne Schmitt — Tue, 09 Dec 2014 16:01:14 +0000

This has got to be the fastest easiest craft ever.

When i was planning for my daughters birthday this year i had tons of old rustic windows laying around and wanted to use one somehow.

I always have a themed party so i stuck with the color flow and bought cute cheap wrapping paper and gift bags to fill the window.

I just took the gift bags apart at the seam it came right apart.

I cut my squares to fit the panes and just taped them in really good i didn’t even worry about how the back looked.

All you need is:

Window
Tape
And any type of paper you wish.
(Thicker the better)

Now go create and show me !!!
