PVC Mother's Day Bud Vase

Good Monday morning! 

Short post today.  Mother's Day is right around the corner and this project is perfect for the Mom who has everything.  What Mom wouldn't want a custom picture bud vase to admire along with some pretty flowers? I know I would love it.

Easy-to-Make Vases

Good afternoon!

Spring has sprung and with that comes Mother's Day and Teacher Appreciation Week. Today's vases would be appropriate for both of them! 

As you may have noticed by a few of my previous posts - I am a fan of the Lowe's Creative Ideas website as well as their monthly publication.  This is one of their projects. It appears to be fairly easy to make. These vases are quite unique and would be great in any color to match any decor!

So if you know a deserving teacher or are looking for a new way to give Mom flowers - check out the link to get started!

PVC Wreath #2

Happy Monday!

I don't know about you but I've never really been a fan of Monday.  It's a let down after the weekend, isn't it?  With the beginning of school looming, I'm looking even less forward to Mondays!  Back to a routine is good but back to homework and early bedtime and getting up with the alarm.  Only 9 days left for us.....boo hoo!

On Saturday I posted a PVC pipe wreath that was square and then later I came across this one.  Unique, I must say.  DIY Network even has a short video about how to do this as well.  So I've posted a link to both - picture and video instructions.  Go here:  Fantastic Plastic: PVC Wreath - Today's Nest

And here: diynetwork.com Funky Holiday Wreath Video

If you make one please leave me a comment and a link.  I'd love to see it!

Have a terrific day!  See ya soon.

DIY Square PVC Christmas Wreath

Hi!  Hope everyone is having a good Saturday morning.  We watched 'Mars Needs Moms' last night and we really enjoyed it.  It was very cute and had a nice message.  It was done the same way as Polar Express so the characters resembled the actors that did the voices.   

We got it at Redbox for $1.00.  It was at Blockbuster Express, too but for $2.99.  Big Savings!  And I had also earned a movie credit so we got a second movie for FREE.  You need to check out Redbox if you haven't already.  I put a link in yesterdays post to get started online - Check it out!!  No membership fees - so much better than Netflix!

Anyway, on to today's post.  Christmas is basically right around the corner.  I've already begun thinking about decorations that need replaced and gift lists. I've learned that it is easier to start early than to wait until November and December to shop - so much less strain on the pocketbook!!

So I've posted several PVC projects over the past month and I couldn't resist passing this one on, too!  I'm planning on making this for my front porch.  It is unusual and caught my eye.  I may even make it so that I can interchange decorations for each holiday or season.

Thank you to the artofdoingstuff.com for sharing this fantastic idea!

Have a fantastic rest of your Saturday.  See ya soon!

DIY PVC Cabana

Hello everyone! Hope you are having a fantastic weekend!

A while back I was searching how to make a porch swing and came across this cabana.  As I said a few posts ago - it seems as though PVC is the new thing!  I've read where it's like legos for grown ups - how funny!!!  I think this would be great to have but even better with some type of cover over the top for shade.  If you want to build one or know someone who might, go here to check it out:

Doesn't it look cozy?  I also like the patio stones and pea gravel.  Hmmmmm - might need to add this to my hubby's honey do list - LOL!

Have a great day!

PVC Marshmallow Shooters

Hey everyone! 

My hubby started on the biggest project on our to do list today.  I am so excited!  When we bought this house in 2006 there were things we knew that we would eventually change.  Isn't that always the case when you are a home owner?  Anyway, Cristian was little so we made a room into a playroom for him.  Now he's gotten old enough that it's not a necessity any longer.  Now I'm getting my greatly needed laundry room/pantry!  Yippee!!  Hurray!!

Our washing machine, dryer, extra refrigerator, and upright freezer are in our double car garage.  Not such a good place....  Super hot in the summer and pretty cold in the winter.  As if it's not bad enough doing laundry as it is, right?  Now it will all be inside and I can't wait!!!!!!  Stay tuned...... 

Anyway, do you have kiddos and are they telling you they're BORED?  Well this just might be the boredom buster you need!  A marshmallow shooter made from PVC!  I told you I keep seeing PVC projects for some reason.  This is one that is super easy to make and kinda cool for the kids!  Check it out here to make your very own:  marshmallow shooters

Thanks to make-it-do.com for the innovation! 

Have a great over the hump day and I'll keep you posted on the room makeover!  See ya soon!

PVC Pipe Flag

Hey everyone!

I don't know why, but I keep seeing PVC projects. PVC is really so easy to work with - I never imagined that so many things could be made with it! I absolutely love this idea!  It looks very easy to make and would be very durable to hang on your door!

The instructions are here:  A Creative Princess: PVC Pipe Flag  Check it out!

Oh my - another project for my to do list - it's getting really, really long!!!!!!!!!!

Have a great day - see ya soon!
