Take Five {Five Minute Projects Day 2}

Welcome back for day 2 of our Take Five series. If you missed yesterday’s great projects you can check them out here. Today I am joined by my dear Cassie of hi sugarplum! and the sweet sweet Michaela from Michaela Noelle Designs.   Let’s get started!

Idea #1: Personalized Drink Tags

If you have been with me for a while, than you know that I love all things personalized. And I have a little rule that when I entertain I like to have at least one thing that has a personal touch. It is so super easy and makes guests feel special. You can either hand write these tags or print names on the computer.

After cutting your tags, simply hole punch and slip a fun ribbon through. I know that there are a million darling wine charms out there, but there is something fun about having the names on the drinks. Not to mention it is free and only takes five minutes.

Don’t ever throw away your scrap pieces of ribbon. They are great for this. I like to have the names ready to go and sitting in a pretty glass nearby so that guests can easily find their name. The font I used for these is called Suzy’s Hand. It is one of my favorite’s that Megan introduced me to because it looks like someone wrote the names out.

Idea #2: Inexpensive and Quick Room Art

Miss Cassie from hi sugarplum busted out some amazing art for her daughter’s room. It instantly added great color and pattern to her gallery wall.

 

Being the smarty pants that she is, she used glossy Madeline Weinrib {one of my all time favorites!} ads to create these. She took out the existing text and added her own.

 

You can read Cassie’s full post right here. And because Cassie is a rock star, she has provided me with the three prints that you can use to make your own. If you would like them, shoot me an email and I can forward them to you {I tried to make them downloadable . . .but to no avail!}

Idea #3: Mason Jar Vases

Hello to Courtney's sweet readers! I'm Michaela from Michaela Noelle Designs and I'm going to be sharing a fun way to embellish ordinary mason jars and glass bottles...

Materials: Mason Jar Ribbon or Burlap Hot Glue Crystal or Flower

Here's what you do: Grab your ribbon or burlap.  In my case, I used this strip of burlap.  Wrap it around your mason jar as many times as desired and hot glue it in the back.  I found this pretty crystal embellishment to put on the front of the jar, but you can use anything you'd like!  A fabric flower may be cute, too!

Finish it off with some fresh flowers:

And you're done!

 

Idea #4: Glass Bottles Turned Vintage Vases

 

Materials: Glass Bottles Puff Paint Spray Paint

 

Here's What You Do: Put your design on the glass bottle in puff paint and allow to dry:

Once the puff paint is dry, spray paint your bottles.  I chose a nice crisp white for mine!

With drying time, it takes a little longer than 5 minutes (: But the actual time you spend puff painting and spray painting is no more than 5 for each step.  An easy way to repurpose old bottles you would otherwise recycle. Thanks for having me, Court.  I'm loving all these 5 minute projects!    xoxo
