H is for Hansen; H is for Home

So yesterday I was browsing through my bloglovin feed and I came across this post and it totally made me get into this "Martha Stewart" mode at my own house. I had one unfinished pinterest project and another project I was inspired to do. I actually wasn't planning on even doing this project but I found THE CUTEST paint samples at Target for $5.00! How could I resist people!

Unfinished Pinterest project is my very cute, red and gold H hanging on my door.

The process for making this is SUPER simple!! All I did was grab a letter from Hobby Lobby, some paint and ribbon. I painted the letter red, I applied a couple of coats to get it the exact hue I wanted. My husband did the gold lines on the outline of the H. He has a much steadier hand than I do, so he did a much better job than I ever could have done. Then we tied the ribbon on the H and glued a wire to the back and boom!! My super cute new "letter wreath" for my door! My inspiration for this project was this cute H, but I like mine better! It fits "us" so much more than this H ever could. 

My pinterest project that I started and finished yesterday are my $18.00 painted vases. Each of the paint samples were $5.00 and I went to GoodWill to hopefully find some unique and fun vases. I came home with four pretty simple vases. But I LOVE the way they turned out! And I can't wait to do more! 

I used two different paint colors. The lighter bluish-white is called, Devine Horizon and the darker blue is called, Devine Pond. Both colors are by Devine Color by Target. To do this project all I did was apply even, thin layers of paint to each vase until I reached the desire color. Super easy and super simple.


The thing I love most about Pinterest projects is you can make them your own! They don't have to be exactly like the picture. The projects can have their very own personality! And that's what makes them yours!

Enjoy crafting!!
