Let's make ourselves a funky head-shaped planter! Sound fun? I made this planter after FloraCraft sent me a bunch of foam heads and gave me the challenge of getting creative with them. Since we moved into our new home, I have been looking for fun and colorful decor for my daughter's new room. I knew one of those foam heads could totally become a fun piece for her room. I ended up creating a planter (or really more like plant holder or plant stand) and painted it a bright ... [Read More]

Make Your Own Simple DIY Succulent Planter
Make your own Simple DIY Succulent Planter! Easy to customize with a little vinyl stencil and spray paint. Thanks to Make It: Fun Crafts for sponsoring this post, which also contains affiliate links that help to support this blog. Everyone has talents. You know, things that they are extra good at. One of the things I'm extra good at is killing plants. Wah wah. Everyone's like, "Oh, get a cactus they are so easy to take care of!" And, "try a succulent! They are impossible to kill." Friends, let me tell you - they are not impossible to kill. Many succulents and cacti have come to my house to die. Sad face. It's something I'm working on. In the meantime, I still love the look of plants in my home. So, what's a girl with a black thumb to do? Faux to the rescue! Floracraft just ... [Read More]
DIY Modern Faux Plaster Vase
Thanks to Make it: Fun Crafts for sponsoring this post! This post contains affiliate links. Thanks for supporting Persia Lou. :) This is my fourth month participating in the Make It: Fun Crafts Team Challenge, and this month was a doozy. Each month we get a box of foam and a theme to guide our crafting. So far, I've made a woven blanket wreath, mini fruit piñatas, and a kids rocket ship craft. I really enjoy these challenges because they push me outside a little outside my comfort zone, and so far I have been able to come up with something I like without too much of a struggle. But this month really stumped me at first. We were given a bunch of FloraCraft® Make It: Fun® Foam cones in different sizes and were challenged to come up with a summery home decor project. Cones at Christmas ... [Read More]
DIY Lantern Terrarium Tutorial
*This post was originally created by me for Darice. This post contains affiliate links, which help to support Persia Lou. Thank you! Last month, Darice gave all of their bloggers the challenge to make something with one of their lanterns. I love a little bit of a challenge and tried to come up with something a little different. I liked the clean lines and simple shape of this lantern and had the thought that it would make a very pretty terrarium. The problem is that I am not the best at keeping plants alive - even hearty plants like succulents - but when I saw some of the beautiful faux succulents that are out there I was sold. I really, really like the way my lantern terrariums came out, and the best part is that I don't have to worry about my plants dying! Want to make one for ... [Read More]
