How to Make a Wrist Corsage or Boutonniere with Fresh Flowers!

How to Make a Wrist Corsage or Boutonniere with Fresh Flowers! Boutineer, Wrist Corsage, Corsage, Wrist Bouquet, Boutonniere--however you say it, this is how to make it.  Making your own floral arrangements can save you money and create a uniquely custom piece that you would have a hard time finding at a floral shop.   This technique is perfect for Prom, School Dances, Military Balls, Weddings, Mother's Day or any other fancy occasion that calls for flowers. The first thing you will need to do is acquire your flowers.  Local florists have the best prices on florals priced by the sprig.   Pick some greenery too, ferns, sprays, etc.   Get a sprig of baby's breath.   Pick about 3 to 5 fresh flowers depending on size.   Pick a carnation or 2, mums, or miniature roses...those are my favorite.   If you want these flower arrangements to last forever--or at least for a couple of wedding receptions, buy silk flowers and faux g...

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Party!

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Party! Today is my birthday--My 42nd birthday as a matter of fact! I just had to take advantage of my age, since it is the answer to life, the universe and everything. This quick party is easy to just throw together with free printables and simple supplies for a meaningful birthday to celebrate the ultimate age, forty-two. I grew up in a very logical family with a love for sci-fi. My dad raised us on Doctor Who, Star Wars, Blakes 7 and The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.  I knew my family would be the only ones, apart from my fandom weirdo's on the internet, that could appreciate my party theme. Leave me a comment if you are a sci-fi nerd that loves parties like this! If you or a geeky loved one are nearing that magic 42 birthday, this party is a total shew in. It's simple to set up! “Space,” it says, “is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mindbogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way d...

DVD Mosaic High Gloss Resin Tray

This post is sponsored by ETI-Resin and posted on the ETI-Resin Crafts blog. DVD Mosaic High Gloss Resin Tray I love the reflective shine of a DVD.  I have been fascinated by them since I was in 9th grade and my dad bought a computer with a CD rom.   I know, right!?  It was high tech, CD's.  Since then we've watched tech come and go.  DVD's are basically out now, right?  Do you still use DVD's?   We used to back up our computer, but so much can just be done on back up drives or on a cloud...so DVD's sit, useless in a pile.  Let's use them for this awesome craft! I did this fun resin post back in 2017 and I still love it! It's been a huge resin craft hit, and I've seen lots of pictures of similar projects made by you! Isn't this mosaic tray incredible!  It's so shiny and sparkly! If mixed properly, High Gloss resin is food safe, so this tray is perfect for decor or serving! Supplies Needed for DVD Tray: Tray (mine is 8 by 18 inches) DVD...
