I challenged myself about a month ago to make as many homemade gifts as I could for my children this year. We have a tradition in our little family to do 3 Gifts of Christmas. Gift of Meaning, Gift of Usefulness and the Gift of Wonder. The stocking is not included and can be filled with as many fun things that will fit :) That is where my homemade challenge falls into place here. I have made several stocking stuffers and my children's gift of meaning for my 3 kids and I'll be sharing those with you over the next little bit. Second homemade item this year are these Ribbon Streamers. I first saw streamers on etsy, and thought how fun and easy they would be to make. I bought very large D Rings from Joann's They also have spools of ribbon for 50 cents each. You simply tie your ribbon onto the rings in the length that you like. That is it. For around $5 I was able to make 4 streamers and I even have ribbon left over to make more. I am so excited to see my girls dancing around, waving these ribbon streamers as they giggle!

Summer has definitely arrived here in Georgia with its heat and humidity! So I am taking a break from yard work to share my latest project with you…my no-sew linen and burlap starfish pillow! It’s perfect for summer and it was super easy to make, too! Here’s what you will need: Starfish template found here …print it and cut it out. (The pattern you see in my photos is no longer available so I have substituted a similar one.) Pre-made pillow cover (Mine came from the Pottery Barn Outlet…on sale for $9.00 since the button need to be sewn back on. Woo hoo! However, they also have them at Hobby Lobby.) Burlap (1/4 yard should be plenty) Heat n Bond Ultra Hold or a similar product Iron Pillow form (Mine is down and came from Goodwill for $3.00) And here’s what you will do: 1. Cut an 8 1/2 inch square from burlap for each starfish that you plan to make. I made five. 2. Cut an equal number of squares from the Heat n Bond and apply them to the squares of burlap, following the directions on the package. 3. Pin the template to each square and cut out the burlap. 4. Place the cutouts on the pillow cover in a pattern that pleases you. Notice that I cut one of them in half and let it appear in two spots. I later trimmed the arms of the starfish in the bottom right corner as well. Pin them in place. 5. Following package directions, remove the paper backing and iron the starfish in place one by one. 6. Let them cool and then add the pillow insert. And….taaa daaa!…here it is! I love the little summery touch that it adds to my décor without being too much! And just in case you need another idea for an easy way to add a little summer, here are my summer Mason jar candles! And maybe one of my favorite summer projects…my easy and inexpensive sheet music sailboats! As for the staff, they are really enjoying summer since cat TV has added a new channel…the Chipmunk Channel! Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed seeing my no-sew starfish pillow!
