Giant Matchstick Valentine

I'll admit it, I enjoy a good pun every once in a while. There are so many cute ones on vintage valentines that I had to put my own spin on one in today's post. See all the steps and instructions over on Handmade Charlotte.

Marbled Drink Tags

I don't think I'll ever get sick of marbling - I hope this trend never goes away. Marbling clay is so easy to do and the results are so eye-catching.These drink tags are perfect for holiday parties, or any time of year! See the full post over on Julep.

Thanksgiving Pie Topper

Cake and pie toppers are pretty much my favourite thing to make - if I bake a cake, you can bet there will be a DIY topper on it. Earlier this week I shared a DIY Thanksgiving pie topper over on Julep - see the full tutorial here.

Paper Lantern Skulls

I love a quick DIY project, and these paper lantern skulls definitely fit the bill! It's such a busy time of year that it's great to have a simple but high impact craft to decorate with. For instructions, check out the full post over on Julep!

Back to School Wrapping Paper

I already have a huge wrapping paper stash, so I really don't need anymore but I had a lot of fun making this custom back-to-school paper for Oh Happy Day - see the full post here.

Popsicle Party Decor

Browsing the seasonal aisle at the dollar store is one of my favourite things to do. I usually end up buying things I didn't even know I wanted, and that's what led me to this simple DIY project. Pool toys come in so many fun shapes and colours that I had to turn them into popsicles. The simple instructions are up on Oh Happy Day. 

St Patrick's Day Clover Crown

Yet another craft inspired by a vintage holiday item - I saw this St Patrick's Day postcard and couldn't help but make a crepe paper clover crown! I was surprised how quickly it came together - the clovers are so much simpler to make than flowers. For full instructions, see the full post on Oh Happy Day.

Valentine Arrow Game

I've had these mini clothespins for a long time but only now am I finding a way to use them! If you're having a Valentine's Day party this weekend and need an activity, whip up these little guys following the instructions over on Oh Happy Day. 

Valentine Ribbon Treats

I am a sucker for anything I can make into a badge/ribbon. I even have a full board of them on Pinterest! Take a look at these Valentine badges I made over at Oh Happy Day.

Crepe Paper Swirlers

These crepe paper swirlers are kind of addicting to make - plus you can use up scrap papers from your stash. I can't wait until New Years Eve to have these at my party for guests to twirl around. See the full instructions on Oh Happy Day.

Silver and Gold Piñatas

I watch Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer almost every Christmas, so I couldn't help but make these silver and gold mini piñatas to celebrate this year. Fill them with anything silver and gold and use them as party favours at your holiday party this year! The full post is over at Oh Happy Day.

Birthday Candle Christmas Crackers

Do you know anyone who has a December birthday? Try your hand at these birthday candle shaped Christmas crackers! See the full tutorial over on Oh Happy Day.

Paper Forest Advent Calendar

It's hard to believe that Christmas is right around the corner - have you started preparing yet? This year I had the opportunity to craft this paper forest advent calendar for MoPa's holiday issue. You browse the entire beautiful magazine here and my tutorial can be found on page 19.

Walnut Turkey Placecards

Thanksgiving was a few weeks ago here in Canada and I only wish I had made these little guys in time for it. If you're in the United States though, you've still got time! Check out the full tutorial over on Oh Happy Day!

Haunted Village Surprise

I love it when I can make a craft that includes a little surprise. These paper haunted houses can be used as Halloween decorations but also will hide small treats for party guests. See the full post here at Oh Happy Day.

Halloween Cupcake Toppers

Do you have Halloween on the brain yet? I keep trying to think up a genius costume, but so far I haven't had any ideas. I did make these Halloween cupcake toppers though - as usual, super easy but lots of fun. The full instructions are over on Oh Happy Day.

Back to School Wrapping Paper

I hate to be the one to bring it up, but back-to-school season is drawing nearer! I used to love shopping for school supplies (I'll admit it - I'm still hooked even though I've been out of school for ages!) so this little DIY wrapping paper project is a fun way to dress up your back-to-school necessities. See the full tutorial over on Oh Happy Day!

Sandcastle Place Cards

Confession time - until this project, I haven't really used glitter before. It always just seemed so messy and I worried that I'd have glitter on me for days. But after making these glittered sandcastle place cards for Oh Happy Day, I'll admit that I'm no longer afraid of glitter! Check out the full instructions here.

Beach Cake Toppers

I think that if you turn anything miniature, it's nearly impossible for it to not be cute. These DIY beach chairs and umbrella I made for Oh Happy Day are a great way to celebrate summer (it's almost here!). Check out the full post here.

Jumbo Popsicle Garland

I had a lot of fun with the pool noodle garland I made for Sugar & Cloth last year - I had some leftover noodles though, so I thought of a new way to use them! Check out the full tutorial on Oh Happy Day here.
