I am not a sewer. So when I see great DIYs that involve fabric but no sewing I'm always excited. This DIY comes from Laurel at A Bubbly Life and it is brilliant, a no sew ruffle tablecloth that cost less than $10 to make. Show me how, Laurel!!

When planning my daughter's 1st birthday, I began looking for the trendy ruffled tablecloths that look so stunningly cute on tables.  However, I was unprepared for the cost, typically over $100.  I was not willing to spend that on a tablecloth, and without any sewing abilities whatsoever, I let the idea stay a dream.

I've been dying to try needle felting. I just saw this needle needle felt heart tutorial from My Poppet and had to share. I'm going to make this for my daughter's room. I think it will look lovely! It might be my project for the long weekend.

Alison from Sparking Events created these adorable diaper babies for the latest shower she threw, then she kindly put together this tutorial to show us how she made them.

According to Alison they were super easy to make and such a hit! If you are looking for something a little different than a diaper cake, give these a try!

This being Labor Day weekend, I thought I'd share how to make these cute paper bag cutlery pouches. They work great at BBQs, picnics, or any other kind of outdoor party. They're casual, but also add a touch of polish, and that's what I love about them.

SUPPLIES:

Here's a quick and easy DIY I found on Studio DIY to make a vertical rainbow garland.

Jen at Evanssays, be sweet created this adorable school bus cake pop tutorial as a great back to school treat. What kids wouldn't want to sink their into this as they come off the bus that first day?

My plan for this project was to create 2 lamp shades of different shapes, to hang them from the ceiling in my new office.

Supplies: 

How absolutely incredible is this wedding dress cupcake! When I saw the tutorial Vanessa from Apple Blossom Cupcakes put together, my mouth dropped open. You mean, with this tutorial I don't need to be a fondant artist like Vanessa to make something so beautiful?!

I saw a tutorial on Corrina Wraps on how to make washi tape twist ties and had to try it. Turns they are super easy, you can finish them in minutes, and what a great way to tie up gift and favors. I will definitely be doing this in the future.

Supplies:

We don't have a lot of mosquitoes here in Northern California (thank God!), but I remember those buggy nights in New Jersey when I was growing up, and how we'd go out to a summer party, and I'd come home with my body covered in bites. So when I found this DIY on making homemade citronella candles on Garden Therapy, I had to share.  What a great idea!

The best part of this tutorial is that it explains how to add additional scents to your candles like eucalyptus, rosemary, peppermint, and oregano -- other smells bugs don't like, that aren't just citronella.
