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]

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]
DIY Foam Head Planter
When Make It Fun Crafts offered to send me some of their FloraCraft® Foam Heads and gave me the challenge of turning them into something awesome, I jumped at the chance. Since we moved into our new home about a month ago, I've been looking for fun, bright, and girly decor for my little girl's new room. I knew I could turn that foam head into a fun piece for her room. I ended up making a fun planter (more like plant holder, really) to add some color and life to her room. Here's what you will need to make your own: A FloraCraft® Foam Head (You can find them at your local Joann or Michaels) A knife or something to cut the foam with FloraCraft® Smooth Finish (I received my jar at SNAP Conference last year) Gloss Spray Paint FloraCraft Design It:® Simple Style ...
