That's "pinteresting"

My husband is always cracking this little joke at my Pinterest creations....saying how "pinteresting" they are... 


So if you are interested in doing some cheap, cute crafts, here is a super easy way to do some...

 Cost, about $5.
Time, about 1 hour.


  • Buy a cheap wooden frame. Paint it. 
  • Buy a wooden initial. Paint it. 
  • Buy any embellishments you like, and hot glue them to the frame. 
  • Then, hang your initial from the frame using fishing line. I just tied a loop around the frame and the letter. I cut a small grove in my "F" for the fishing line to slide into, and then added a little hot glue to hold it. 
  • Cut two equal lengths of ribbon, loop them around the frame top and tie them together at the point where you want this to hang from a nail (creating an upside down V, and use a double knot). You can tie on extra ribbons or a bow if you want.
  • I hot glued my ribbons in place as well just in case some wind comes along.
AND YOU'RE DONE~!


Cost, about $7 (but still have 1/2 roll of hemp left)!
Time, about 45 min.

  • Take a bottle of your choice.
  • Using Elmer's glue, wrap thick hemp around the bottle adding glue to the glass as you go. Close gaps between the hemp rings as you go, and continue wrapping until you reach the top!
  • Let dry.
SUPER EASY & pretty!
