I started off with these floral foam cubes from Michael’s. You can definitely do a smaller size if you don’t want your arrangements to be as big!

Then I picked a color scheme! I wanted the majority of the arrangements to be neutral with some pops of pink and orange! The best part about faux florals is that you can reuse these for different seasons if you just switch out some of the colors to fit the current season! Tip: look for florals that have a wire inside them! It makes it easier when you push them into the floral foam!

I put together all my arrangements on the stairs, which you definitely don’t have to do, but since I only filled the front of the cubes, it helped to see what it’d look like. I would run down the stairs every time I finished an arrangement to make sure you couldn’t see any foam and to see if the design I was doing was moving in the right direction!

You can use wire cutters and scissors to cut the flowers and then push them into the floral foam! This was the most tedious part of the project because it can take a while to get through some of the thicker stems! Also, iff you only put flowers in the front, you may have to put a paperweight on the back to keep it from toppling over!

The end result was SO DREAMY! I still can’t get over the fact that I did this! The total cost of the project was $500. While, it was expensive, I can continue to use these throughout the year and funnily enough, my friend may end up using these for her wedding reception!

I picked up this macramé hanging when macramé first became BIG! Then they started mass producing the same ones over and over again and slowly it became less exciting in my eyes. This one has been hanging out in my closet for the past 6 months because I just didn’t know where to put it. Finally I saw these tassels and just knew they were meant for making this macramé new again! For this project, you’ll need colored tassels of your choice, a basic macramé hanging, scissors, and a hot glue gun. You could also pick up colored yarn, but that is optional!

I chose to do a pattern of 6 tassels at the top and 6 tassels in the middle. I cut the tassel loop in half and then tied it on to the different spots I picked out.

After I finished tying all of my tassels, I turned the macramé over and hot glued all of the strings in place so you couldn’t see them from the front.

This part is completely optional, but if you’d like to add some pom poms to your design, 
1. Cut a small piece of yarn and put it aside. 
2. Wrap the yarn around your fingers about 30 times. 
3. Take the small piece of yarn you put aside and tie the middle of the yarn as tightly as possible. 
4. Take some scissors and cut the loops. You may have to even the pom out a little because the strings won’t be even at first.

The pom poms can be used to hang on the top string of the macramé.

The end result is a super cute and unique-looking macramé wall hanging! I used mine in a gallery wall, but there are so many different ways you could decorate with it!

Thank you for entertaining me and reading quite possibly the worst cactus joke I’ve ever read! I was looking for good cactus jokes to start this off and honestly, they were all bad, however I probably chose the one that was most terrible and slightly confusing.

To start off this super easy DIY, all you will need is:

• orange paint
• white paint
• paintbrush
• plate
• cacti
• planters of different sizes

I started off by using just the orange paint on my first planter. When I got to the next planter I added more white paint to the plate and mixed them very well so the colors wouldn’t be streaky.

Near the end I ended up with this color, but obviously you can adjust everything until you get your desired color.

You can arrange them by shade, but I personally really loved organizing them randomly because it made the colors pop a little more and balanced the whole look out!

Here are a few ways to spruce up those $1 pots from Home Depot!

You’ll need:

• a paintbrush
• twine
• pots
• masking tape
• white paint
• gold sharpies

1. Take the planter and tie twine around the middle of the pot. Then take paint and cover the bottom half.

2. Take tape and make a diagonal pattern. Then take the paint and cover the spaces. Take the tape off once you’re done and BOOM a beautiful and quick pattern!

3. Put two pieces of tape on the pot to make a triangular pattern. Then paint the triangle to create a nice geometric look. I forgot to take a photo of the final look, but you can see it in the last photo!

4. I call this one cute, calm, and collected. I think this might be my favorite pot out of all of them! I painted the whole outside white and then took a gold sharpie to do the face. A paint marker might work better with the paint, but the sharpie did the job!

And there you have it! The cutest little pots you ever did see! They were so easy to paint. It probably took less than 45 minutes to do them all and they create such a fun look!
