- DIY Family Collage
  April 19, 2021Kids and their parents can craft a collaborative family tree using paper and glue. At our house, you won’t find family photos hanging on the walls. But you will find art. Lots and lots of art. And although we (my husband, my mom, my kiddo and I) all make art on a regular basis, we rarely collaborate on pieces. Until now. Before he passed away, my dad became interested in genealogy and started piecing together a family history of sorts. I’ve always loved the idea of creating a family tree and have plans to (someday) organize the information my father collected to design something informative and decorative. However, until that day comes, I thought it would be fun to make a mini version – as a family – using materials we have kicking around the house. To make your own collage – unique to your kin – all you need is a willingness to get messy, a desire to tear some paper, a few enthusiastic family participants and the following supplies… A variety of paper (construction paper, tissue paper, wrapping paper, scrapbooking paper, etc.) A canvas board or piece of cardboard (something stiff) Scissors An old paintbrush and a yogurt (or similar) container Mod Podge® (this is an all-in-one glue, sealer and finish but if you can’t find it, use watered-down craft glue instead) Old magazines Wax paper (to protect your work surface) First, select some texture-rich paper and cut it into shapes. We decided on long and short rectangles, but that doesn’t mean you have to. Using an old paintbrush, slather the canvas with Mod Podge®, lay down the paper and paint more Mod Podge® on top. In this case, more is more. Don’t be afraid to use LOTS of glue. Once the first layer has dried, glue some torn tissue paper over top of the textured paper until you feel happy. Next, each family member can start cutting out some shapes. Our collage features figures made up of long, narrow rectangles and three different-sized circles. I think they are reminiscent of people, or trees. My daughter insists they are lollipops. Meanwhile, someone can start cutting out letters from old magazines for everyone’s titles. This is a pretty tedious task so I’ll come clean right here and tell you that after we cut and pieced together several letters, I went to my computer and printed out the rest. These were all glued (using my kiddo’s glue stick) onto rectangular pieces of paper. I included my late father because – although he’s been gone for seven years – I like to think he still drops in from time to time. Then, everyone can start to place the paper cutouts onto the prepared background. One at a time, remove the shapes, paint a layer of Mod Podge®, replace the shapes and finish with another layer. Voila! A wonderful keepsake for you and your kid(s) that you will be proud to put on display. Unlike our family photos. Kidding. Not kidding.

- Goodbye Winter, Hello Spring Party Themes
  April 9, 2021When the seasons change, so do the party themes and trends. As we move towards spring we are moving away from the earthy, rustic, and natural colors and decorations that were popular in the fall and winter, and start bringing is fresh, bright colors, a rainbow of floral decorations, and themes that celebrate life, love, and new beginnings as the world begins to bloom anew all around. At GOFF Tents and Events we’re ready for spring, so let’s party. Bright, vibrant colors Spring is in the air, and the colors are starting to change all around. We’re moving from golden, red, orange, and brown, and brightening up the color scheme for the spring-themed parties. Flowers are blooming, and you can get every color of the rainbow, and they are bold, bright, juicy, and vibrant. Fresh flowers and fruit Much like a gourmet meal, using fresh ingredients will elevate every party. The more you can take from nature to complete your decorations, the more beautiful and luxurious your party will be. Use fresh fruit and fresh flowers to create gorgeous centerpieces and decor for your party. There’s nothing more beautiful than bright yellow, fresh, juicy lemons and limes in a bowl, or fresh apples, oranges, and berries. Use nature to guide your spring party decor. Spring-themed linens and tableware You don’t want to go overboard with the colors. Your spring-themed party should make you feel like you are trapped in a bowl of Jelly Bellies. Stick to a few natural decorations and use them strategically. If you already have a lot of colors from flowers and fruit, stick to neutral linens, which will complement the rest of the decor but won’t overpower. White linens may seem too formal, so you can try linens that are soft, muted yellow, blue, or green that will accentuate your decor, but won’t make your party too chaotic with color. Let one of our Wedding Planners and our new Floral Department at Goff Tents and Events usher you into spring in a colorful way.... Read more...
- DIY Bird Feeder
  April 7, 2021Welcome songbirds to your yard every spring with a rustic-chic homemade bird feeder. While you could use almost any materials to put together a simple roofed-box to accommodate a handful of birdseed and a sturdy perch, why not utilize used materials to make this project a study in up-cycling? Transform a cardboard shipping box, or as we did here, a pint-sized milk carton, into the structure of the bird feeder before adding scrap wood and surplus craft supplies to decorate. Aside from a bit of cutting using a sharp craft knife, this project is fully kid-friendly, so don’t hesitate to spend a family afternoon around the craft table before displaying your projects in the back yard for some prime bird watching. What You’ll Need Equipment / Tools Paint brush Hot glue gun Craft knife Materials 1 clean pint carton 18 inches butcher’s twine Scrap wood/twigs Acrylic paint and primer Instructions 1. Gather Your Materials Reach into the recycling bin for the base of this simple project: an empty dairy pint. Rinse the carton well, and allow it to dry completely before using it in any craft. For your bird feeder’s personal touches, opt for homespun materials in neutral hues. Consider using scavenged twigs for a thatched roof, or tortoise-shell buttons to mimic windows. Here, we used balsa wood scraps and butcher’s twine to complete a cozy cottage-inspired bird feeder. 2. Paint the Pint Carton Opt for acrylic paint when selecting a medium for this bird feeder; it’s animal safe and has great lasting power. If your climate is rainy or moist, consider adding a bird-friendly clear coat, too, before hanging your feeder outdoors. Especially if your pint carton’s original label is a bold color, prime the container with a neutral white acrylic paint before adding color. Be sure to dry completely between layers to avoid a chunky finish. 3. Trim the Balsa Wood To create a thatched roof for your rustic-chic birdhouse, source scraps of soft wood or twigs with a similar thickness. Trim each balsa wood length to fit the top of the carton using a sharp craft knife (or a strong pair of scissors). Create enough “shingles” to completely cover both sides of the sloped top of your milk carton. For a more refined, polished look, sand down the cut edges of each bit of wood. 4. Cut a Doorway Using the craft knife, carefully cut an archway into the front of the dry, painted pint container to act as an entry point for birds. Be sure to keep a small lip at the bottom of the carton so that it can still retain a handful of birdseed. To perfect any jagged edges, run a bit of sandpaper along the cut rim then touch up with a little extra paint. 5. Add Decor Embellish your painted pint container by hot gluing the balsa wood shingles to the top, then adding a cute perch. Add butcher’s twine to cover any unfinished edges, or along each of the carton’s edges as trim. Don’t forget to poke a small hole into the top fold of the pint container, then loop a bit of butcher’s twine through for easy outdoor hanging. 6. Fill with Seed Carefully pour songbird seed into the bird feeder just up the bottom edge of the archway. Store extra seed in a spouted plastic container for easy refilling, and add it to your weekly task list along with watering your outdoor plants. 7. Display the Bird Feeder Using a sturdy step ladder if needed, tie the butcher’s twine onto an accessible branch of a bird-friendly tree. Maple, oak, and dogwood are all species proven to attract songbirds, but ultimately, invite birds to a cute corner of your outdoor area no matter what fauna grows there (just be sure to avoid driveways or busy walkways). ...

- How to Make Pretty Painted Flower Pots
  April 5, 2021It’s time to get your plants out of those sad plastic planters they came in and get them into something a little more custom. Painting your own terracotta pots is easy and the result is something that feels playful and modern—plus, since you can choose your own colors they’re guaranteed to fit in with your home decor. Taking the time to repot your little seedlings now, gives them plenty of room to grow and look good doing it! What You’ll Need Equipment / Tools Paint brushes Painter’s tape Materials Terracotta pots Paint Plants Instructions 1. Figure Out the Design You might be asking yourself if this is worth an entire step. We’re here to tell you it absolutely is. Getting started with no plan and no inspiration will lead to mistakes that you might not be able to cover up. Take a minute to do a few little sketches of how you want your pots to look, especially if you’ll be making more than one. If you want to go even further, try painting out some of the designs you’ll be making on your pot just to get a feel for them. Practice makes perfect and it’s way better than having to cover up a mistake. 2. Tape Off Your Pots This isn’t always a necessary step; it really depends on whether or not you want to do a colored rim or a crisp line instead of something more abstract. If that’s the case you’re going to need to use painter’s tape. Place it on the terracotta pot and on the edge you want to paint, run your thumb over the edge to make sure it adheres completely. 1. Paint Your Pot and Allow to Dry Get your paint together and then get started! It makes sense to have a variety of brushes on hand to vary the types of lines or dots you want. Just keep in mind that you’ll want to start on one side and work towards the other to avoid smudging. If you’re going to overlap colors start with a neutral color on the bottom and then work up to darker colors so it properly covers, working in the reverse will make it really hard to cover spots of darker colors. To make abstract leopard spots, start by placing a brown dot, let them dry and then put three black dots over top towards one side. Then figure out which little plants to add to each pot, make sure you give them plenty of room to grow!... Read more...
- DIY Rattan Sunburst Mirror
  April 2, 2021Sunburst mirrors are definitely having a moment and I’m all about it. You’ve probably seen them popping up around the design world, I’ve got one in my kitchen! I happen to love rattan–furniture, accessories, you name it! There are lots of beautiful rattan mirrors out on the market right now, including lots of vintage beauties! They can cost a pretty penny though so we decided to make this DIY Rattan Sunburst mirror for only $25! And that will allow you to make 2-3 mirrors! It’s much easier than you’d think and the end result is so stunning, no one would ever guess you made it. So let’s make some mirrors! DIY Rattan Sunburst Mirror Materials: Round 12-inch mirror 4.5 mm basket round reed Natural Raffia Multi-media scissors or garden clippers Jewelry Glue Instructions: Take your reed and cut out pieces in two lengths: 3.5-inches and 4.5-inches. Feel free to adjust the lengths to your personal preference! Cut 35 pieces of each length. This will give you enough (you might have extra) to surround the circumference of a 12-inch mirror. If you select a larger mirror, simply cut more pieces. Once all your pieces are cut, soak them in a water bath for up to an hour. This will straighten the pieces since they’ve been curved into a coil. Remove the reed pieces once straight and let dry for a few hours. Take a 4.5-inch reed and add some jewelry glue to one end of the reed and place on the edge of the mirror, about .5 inches into the mirror. Press and hold firmly onto the mirror for 5-10 seconds. Then take a 3.5-inch reed and glue about 3/8 or 1/2-inch away from the previous reed. Repeat this process, alternating the reed lengths all the way around the mirror. Let dry for at least 2 hours or overnight. Once dry, take your raffia and weave between the reeds going over one and under the next, repeating all the way around the mirror. Tie the two ends of the raffia together and trim the ends. Once you go around the mirror, go around a second time, this time going under the first one and over the next, so the weaving pattern is opposite from the first. See the photos below! Repeat this pattern until you go around 5-6 times. Voila! Hang up your mirror and celebrate the job well done! ... Read more...
- Creative Spring and Easter Signs to Enhance Your Home Decor for the Season
  March 31, 2021Here are some things to think about to help you choose your new spring and Easter signs. Before choosing your home decorations, think about your everyday style. Do you prefer understated or bold decor? Do you have a specific style such as country or Victorian? Maybe you like a little bit of everything and have an eclectic style. Once you know your style, choose a spring or Easter sign that is similar in style. This way it will enhance the beautiful decorating that you have already done in your home rather than clash with it. You will also want to think about the space that you want to decorate. Is there room for a large wall sign? If so, then choose from the larger signs that come ready to hang. Do you only have some nooks and crannies on shelves to display a sign? There are many cute, little signs that can be tucked in around a potted flower or sit in front of a row of books on a shelf. Do you want it to be indoors or outdoors? Many of the signs listed here have been sealed so that they can be displayed outside safely. Be sure to choose the right sign for your space, and it will surely look fantastic. 1. Easter Tag Shaped Wooden Signs These stylish signs make an awesome addition to your farm decor.

The pair includes a bunny with the word “hop” as well as a chick with the words “cheep cheep”. Each stands at nine and a half inches tall and is seven inches wide. They are shown with a black background with an off-white picture and words. If you prefer an off-white background with a black picture and words, then contact the seller and they will work with you. Each is also framed out in wood stained in dark walnut. These make wonderful shelf sitters and are small enough to add to any room. 29. Word Block Easter Sign Decoration This mixed media sign is truly unique! There is a block for each of the letters in the word “Easter”. Those six blocks sit upon a long block with the word “Blessings” on it. The blocks are comprised of wood, scrapbook paper, and paint. They also add delightful embellishments such as ribbon, a rusty rabbit, buttons and brads for an extra rustic touch. This decoration is sure to be turn heads and let your guests know that sending Easter blessings is important to you. It is also exactly what you want to enhance your rustic or farmhouse decor. 30. Laser-Cut Birch Wood Spring Wreath This gorgeous sixteen inch wreath is modern, sleek and stylish. It has a very versatile look, however, and would also look great with farmhouse decor. A simple circle with some flowers on the left and the words “hello spring” in the center is all this wreath needs. The birch wood is a beautiful shade of gray to match any color scheme you are already using. The laser-cut wood is fragile, so it is recommended that you open it with care. Then display inside your home as this is not sealed for the outdoor elements. It would look great on a door or as part of your gallery wall. 31. Reclaimed Wood Spring Nail Art This unique sign is made from old barn wood. Nails are used to create the outline of the letters in the word “spring”. Then string is used back and forth between the nails, creating a web of sorts. This adds color to the otherwise empty space. Each letter is done in a different color of string. A small pendant banner decorates the top of the sign. The pendants are made out of small pieces of fabric in beautiful pastel colors. This sign is twenty-three inches long and nine inches high, making it perfect to hang on the wall. It has a great rustic look for your farmhouse decor. 31 Pretty Spring and Easter Signs to Add Personality to Your Home All of these wonderful Easter and spring sign ideas are sure to get you excited to decorate your home.

- DIY Easter Bunny Shirt with Rosette Tail
  March 24, 2021This is my baby girl‘s first Easter, so of course, she needed a cute Easter Bunny Shirt! And with only a few days left until Easter, I knew I had to come up with a quick and easy Easter shirt. So I made this adorable Easter Bunny shirt with Rosette tail. It turned out even cuter than I had expected! The rosette tail is the perfect fluff without sticking off the shirt too much. And…I sort of have an ever-growing collection of those shabby rosette flowers and needed another way to use them! I wanted to use bright, happy, and youthful colors and I think the magenta and lime were absolutely perfect for that. You might recognize that cute bunny shape from the Bunny Butt card I did a couple years ago 🙂 Little Miss D loves the fuzzy rosette tail on her tummy! Its like a built-in sensory shirt with the smooth heat transfer and fuzzy flower. haha Easter Bunny Shirt Tutorial Supplies: Silhouette Portrait, hook tool, magenta heat transfer from Happy Crafters {sponsor}, white shirt or white onesie, iron, thread, needle, and a 1.5″ lime green rosette. I cut the bunny silhouette out with my Silhouette Portrait. Then I ironed the decal onto the white shirt. {for a more in-depth tutorial on how to use Heat Transfer, click here.} Then using the thread and needle, I carefully stitched the rosette to the bottom of the bunny. Be careful pushing the needle through the heat transfer, you may want to use a thimble to protect your fingers. *Tip: before you put holes in your heat transfer with the needle, double check that the tail is in the right place and that the hole will not be visible when you’re done. This shirt is perfect for that Easter cutie in your life! ... Read more...
