More Crafts!! Winter Charger Plate - Mouse-trap Magnets - HorseShoe Necklace Holder

Don't you just love craft time? Here are a few ideas that are way easy to do!

Since it is still winter time and Christmas is over, here is a cute DIY home decor for the season! Winter time charger plate! I love making these plates cause they are so easy!!
 Michael's and Tai Pan Trading have way cute charger plates. Red/Gold/Blue/White/etc and you can do any theme. I wanted something that I can have all winter instead of just at Christmas time so I did a snow theme! Let It Snow sled and a snowman. I also found some snowflake jell stickers to add to make it a little more festive. Now I just put it on an easel and let it sit on my kitchen table until spring!



Need more magnets on your fridge to hold up those Christmas and New Years greeting cards from friends and family? How about mouse trap magnets? They can hold up your cards without having to cover them with a magnet. Just take off the trap and leave the spring. Paint, decorate and glue a magnet on the back. With my mouse trap magnets I had some lace ribbon and I cut and placed on top of them for a little extra cuteness! They sure have been handy to hold up those cards and pictures!




Ok so for quite some time now I have desperately needed a cute jewelry holder. I  am in still need of something for my earrings (which I have plans to complete in the near future) but I recently made such a cute necklace/bracelet holder. I love it and how cute it is especially for those cowgirls! I got a pallet board, cut it to the size I wanted and sanded. I then painted the board a turquoise color and for a more rustic look added a little stain here and there. A secret to the stain is rub most of it off of your brush with an old cloth and then just brush it along the board here and there. If you add too much just wipe some off or even add some paint back to it. Then I added 4 horseshoes. Each horse shoe has 8 nail spots and to keep the horse shoes on the board I nailed in 2 nails all the way through and left the other 6 half way out so I can hang the jewelery on them. Add a wire for the back to hang up and wa la - your cowgirl necklace holder! Cute!
