Holiday Craft How-to: DIY Gift Candles

After a little too much time on Pinterest this past weekend, the wife and I decided to try our hands at making a few DIY gift candles for some of our friends and family. I can’t say the project was a complete success (more on that in a minute), but we were able to put a bunch of our saved-up mason and jam jars to good use and ended up with more than a dozen cute gift candles. Not bad, I thought, for a first attempt!

How To: Mother’s Day Plant “Flag”

When thinking about more Mother’s Day ideas, I thought about how my mom prefers to receive a plant rather than flowers. Then, I remembered that Becky shared 5 awesome ideas for DIY plant markers last week. I’ve seen little plant markers before at hospitals where they say “It’s a boy” or “Get well soon,” so I decided to make a plant “flag” that says, “Happy Mother’s Day!”
