A festive flower vase just in time for Easter! 🐣🌸

Layer Peeps into a double vase to create an Easter themed centerpiece this Spring! I love the idea of bringing this vase to an Easter dinner as a hostess gift or using it as a centerpiece on your Easter table!

A friendly reminder that it’s time to oil your wooden cutting boards!

Using oil on your wooden cutting boards and utensils helps prolong their life. Below are my wooden cutting board tips:

1. Preventing Drying and Cracking: Wood can dry out over time, causing it to crack or split. Oiling helps maintain moisture in the wood, preventing these issues.
2. Enhancing Durability: Regular oiling can help the wood last longer by reducing wear and tear, especially from knife cuts and moisture exposure.
3. Maintaining Appearance: Oiling keeps the wood looking fresh and vibrant, preventing discoloration and dullness. It also helps maintain the natural grain of the wood.
4. Water Resistance: Oiling creates a protective barrier that helps resist water absorption, which is important for food safety and hygiene since moisture can lead to bacterial growth or mold.
5. Easier Cleaning: A well-oiled board is less likely to absorb food particles, making it easier to clean after use.

Food-safe oils like mineral oil, beeswax, or a specialized cutting board oil can be used!

DIY FLOWER FROG 💐🐸

Am I the only one who keeps the bouquet going until the very last flower is spent?! But my biggest pet peeve is when just a few flowers no longer fit fully in the neck of the vase. They fall to the side without the full bouquet holding it up. A flower frog is a great solve to keeping those last few flowers looking full and happy!

Here’s how I made the flower frog out of air dry clay:
- roll out air dry clay to about 1/4” thick
- use a round cookie cutter (or trace a cup or bowl) to cut a circle in the clay
- use your finger or any utensils to mold the flower frog into a design on the edges. I did a little wavey design!
- using a straw, poke holes in the center of the clay to create holes for the flower stems
- let dry overnight and then it’s ready to use!

Now I need to make a flower frog for every vase I own… I’m gonna need more clay!

Who says DIY home decor has to be complicated to be beautiful?! 🦪✨ Here’s a super easy napkin ring idea that brings the beach right to your table — recycle those oyster shells before the season ends!

To make these oyster shell napkin rings, I simply hot glued the shells to the already made napkin rings. I love this coastal touch to my dining table!

I love making home decor items out of local goods, in this case oyster shells! This napkin ring hack could be replicated with so many unique items to complement the season.
