Spring is Here!

 

First of all...Happy Spring to you! I don't know how the weather has been where you are, but here in Dallas it's been spring for months already. In fact, I don't even think we had a real winter :) I'm just happy to see spring colors popping up everywhere. 

So, this past weekend, we did a few little easy DIY projects at the house...

 

We just bought some blue stained glass spray paint and sprayed these quart sized mason jars to give them that vintage blue look. You just need to coat them evenly, but it's very easy. Let them dry overnight, and voila! We are going to use these as table centerpieces with some pretty flowers in them for the big day :)

(The spray paint can be found at Michael's down the craft paint aisle.)

Next up, I just jazzed up these plain clothespins with a little of the mint chalkboard paint I used in the mug DIY a few posts back. I also used a rubber stamp alphabet set with some black ink to stamp the word "love" onto the pins. 

Just paint the clothespins, let them dry overnight, then stamp any word you want. Some more ideas for words could be "memo", "to do", "family". So now you can stand the clothespin up and use it to display pictures or notes. You can get as creative as you want with this project... use different colored paints and inks, etc. You could hang your clothespins from some twine and make a garland, or use them as table name holders...hmm

What DIY projects have you done to get ready for Spring?
