DIYs on a Budget Part 2

For my second DIY on a budget, I made a jewelry tray. I always have this habit of sticking my earrings, rings, and neclackes on my nightstand before I go to bed but then they roll around or fall off and onto the floor. I saw this cute and fun idea on Pinterest and thought that this might be a good solution and look pretty. Best of all it was really easy and looks classy.

Materials Used:

• 5X7 Photo Frame (preferably without the stand on the back)
• Scrapbook Paper or Fabric for background
• Scissors for cutting background

Total Cost = Less than $10

DIYs on a Budget

I'm always looking for fun, simple, and cheap DIY adventures and ended up completing two in the past week. The first was inspired by my friend Kim who is getting married this fall. I'm beginning the process of coordinating her wedding shower (my first wedding shower to plan and I'm sooooo excited for all of the fun decorating and party planning possibilities). Her wedding is a fall theme with shades of red and orange in her color palette. I'm trying to find decorations and favors that will play up her theme but can also be made by hand to save a bit but also because its more fun than buying. My first wedding shower creation is this simple but cute banner:

Materials Used:

• Creme Colored Cardstock (sturdier than paper and won't rip as easy)
• Ribbon
• Computer and Printer
• Scissors

Total Cost= Less than $10 depending on the ribbon and cardstock that you buy.

And in tribute to my best friend, Kim, a few super cute pics of us through the years for your viewing pleasure:

And one of Kim and her honey, Rob. Aren't they adorable??
