DIY Fall popcorn kernel and red bean centerpiece

So about 2 weeks ago it was my 6th wedding anniversary and my husband sent me a beautiful bouquet of flowers in this fun and unique vase. About twice a year I get flowers ( 1 for our anniversary and 1 for my birthday/valentines day) and it's only taken me 6 years to see the value in the vases that keep coming my way.  So here is another fun project that takes something old or unused and turns it into something new!

What you need: Vase, candle, small bag of popcorn kernels, small red beans, twine and scissors.

Step 1: Fill the bottom of your vase with kernels then stick in your candle. Begin layering your kernels and beans. You'll have to hold your candle until you have a few layers dumped in. Layer until you've reached your desired pattern. 

Step 2: You're pretty much done, just add a little twine or ribbon around the neck of your vase and your Finished. Easy, simple and sooo cute!

DIY Framed Flower Vase!

I love this project! I just got mine put on the wall and it adds a lot of fun flair to my kitchen! What you need: a glue gun, craft twine, picture frame, small vase and accent flowers.

Step 1: Remove the backing and glass in your picture frames. You're not going to need either of these items so go ahead and toss them. I Suggest buying inexpensive frames, I got mine for $1 at Walmart. Another fun option to do with these cheapo frames is to spray paint them your desired color. I wanted mine black so there was no need for that step, but it's totally an fun option.

Step 2: Attach your twine to your vase. I bought these tiny vases at Walmart for $1 they come in a few colors and I love the unique pattern

. To attach the twine add a drop of glue to the neck of the vase. Wrap the twine around the vase then directly above where you began gluing add another drop. Repeat this step until you achieve the amount of loops you want. It's good to glue all on one side so you can't see your gluing job in the front.

Step 3: Attach the twine and vase to the picture frame. Before gluing I wrapped the twine around the middle of the frame to make sure the length of the twine was good and also I was able to experiment with how low I wanted the vase to hang. Once you've found the right length wrap and glue in the center of the frame. I looped my twine two to the left, then two to the right so my string hung directly in the center. Trim your extra twine. 

Here is the finished project! You can always add extra embellishments such as buttons or bows to your frame. Find some small flowers to place in your vase and Wallah you've made some fun inexpensive wall decor!  

I had it on the wall and decided what they heck, let's add a bow. SO CUTE! ;)
