Craft and Cleaver Ideas

BTW: Maag is my last name (:

Made this awesome recipe box from a plastic box with an attached lid from Hobby Lobby. Then I bought some really cute paper and stuck it on. Then I bought some blue letters, also from Hobby Lobby and put them on(: I love it and keep my recipes inside! 

SOO FUN! Also really cheap!

All the natural goodness of food!

Healthy Green Smoothie

(tastes like Jamba Juice!)

 

Although this smoothie doesn't look all that good, It is full of delicious and healthy ingredients. I really love these smoothies and I drink them pretty much every morning. Its the perfect way to loose weight too! :)

All you need:

2 handfuls of spinach

1 cup of orange juice

1/2 cup of milk (use soy or almond milk if your on a diet)

2 cups frozen peaches, berries or any other fruit you like

1 banana (or half if your banana is really ripe) 

~This will make about 2 servings~

Put your spinach, juice and milk in the blender. Blend till the spinach is smooth. Now add your frozen fruit and banana. Blend till its think and smooth!!

You can change this up however you like it. I like to add a bit more spinach to mine because I really like spinach :) Feel free to add fresh fruit! You can always add more juice if it is too think for your liking.

Summer Ribbon Wreath

Made this fun wreath for summer this year and I LOVE IT!

It's super easy and very fun!

What you will need:

- 10" Styrofoam wreath (You can find these at most craft stores for about $5. Doesn't matter what color it is)

- Ribbon! I went to Hobby Lobby for mine while it was 50% off.

-Short straight pins

Alright, time to put together your wreath!!

    Cut the ribbon you have chosen into about 4 inch strips.

    Once that is finished, start with one color of ribbon. Make a loop with it and stick the pin through the ends to keep it together and then simply push it into the wreath.

    Place the ribbon in random spots all over your wreath until you have how much you want. Note: You will be adding more of this color when you start filling in your wreath so don't over do it with one color. Also, don't forget the inside and outside of the wreath. You can do the back side if you want.. I didn't. 

    Next, choose your next color and do the same thing. Do this until you have gone through each color or pattern of ribbon. 

    Once that is all done your wreath should be looking pretty good but there are still some open spots throughout your wreath. Choose either a random color of ribbon or choose a color you think should be there and push it into all the open spaces until the Styrofoam is completely covered! 

WA-LAA! You now have a super cute wreath for summer! Or any other season or holliday :)

Old window decor

I found someone who sales these old windows and I bought one :)

I wanted to hang it in my house someone where but first I needed to figure out what I was going to do with it.

This is what I came up with...

Then I decided to paint it a deep red!

I sanded down the corners and the sides to give it a rough look.

I stuck on my vinyl letters and used two-sided corner tape for the pictures.

This project turned out really cute and I love it!
