DIY Marbled Paper

This project happened by chance. I needed a birthday card and since the quarantine happened I can’t really go card shopping. I wanted a card that was a little different (plus I had to use what I had in my home) – so I chose the marbled paper idea. It turned out so much better than I thought and it…

DIY Quarantine Ideas – Paper Wreaths!

You’re stuck at home, bored, frazzled, and probably eating too much…. aren’t we all?  Here’s an idea to keep you occupied that’s likely free because you already have the materials inside your home, which is nice since most of us can’t leave.  I saw a version of the paper wreath at a high-end home decorating boutique.  It was versatile both…
