I have never made a wreath before, but I keep seeing beautiful wreaths on various craft pages. I am ready to try one, but this is Lazy Crafting, so it has to be simple and able to be made with supplies already on hand. Final verdict: Scrap Fabric Wreath.

Mason jars are a great craft staple. Combined with decoupage (a visual art that decorates an object by gluing colored paper cutouts onto it), you can create a Decoupage Jar for beautiful storage or home decor. The first decoupage project that I can remember was in first grade. My Girl Scout troop was planning a puppet show. For the puppet heads, we used light bulbs covered in decoupage. Then we each drew a face on our light bulb. To make…
It’s the time of year to think about your table settings. Family gatherings and lots of parties mean lots of details. Check out the end of this post for Free Thanksgiving Place Cards that you can simply print and cut. (You could also use them for Buffet Place Cards.) I love Thanksgiving. A holiday that is centered around food and gratitude. What’s not to love? I also love that I don’t host Thanksgiving. Long before “Friendsgiving” was a thing, my…
This DIY Beaded Pumpkin has saved me more than once when I needed a quick, fun craft. It’s cute, simple and can be done by large groups, making it a perfect Halloween party craft. I signed up (again) to be the Room Parent for Middle’s classroom (because I can’t say no.) At her school, Room Parent means organizing the 3 classroom parties: Halloween, Winter, and Valentine’s Day. A great classroom party included some games, a craft or two, and snacks…
Pumpkins are a classic fall image and good for any fall decorating. I wanted to try to find a quick and easy way to create a pumpkin for my fall decor and Thanksgiving table. Say hello to the Toilet Paper Tube Pumpkin. In order to keep it lazy, we’re using simple craft materials.

Did I mention that I am the head parent for my daughter’s class? That means I am in charge of planning the holiday parties. Like Halloween. Good thing I didn’t wait until the last minute. I still have 2 days! Luckily I have 2 other moms helping, otherwise this party would be very sad. We had a planning meeting weeks ago and I agreed to come up with one craft and decorations. (Except I forgot about the decorations until very…
Halloween is next week, so I guess this lazy crafter better get some decorations up. First off, I’m updating my Decorative Ladders with some Halloween flags. But also I want to add a new decoration. I decided to create a Halloween flag that can hang below our mailbox ( you can hang yours anywhere!) Check out my four free cut files at the end of this post! I guess I should admit right now that I’m not the biggest fan…
I have always wanted to be one of those people who have super cute front porch decorations with garden flags that change regularly. I just love driving by a house and seeing the decor change to reflect the season. It’s cute and fresh and makes me feel good which led to my recent DIY ladder tutorial. I’m ready to add pizazz to those ladders, while still trying to be cheap budget-conscious. I wracked my brain for a way to have…
Have you ever fallen in love with an idea? I do it all the time and in this case it’s a front porch display DIY ladder. You know, those cute little ladders with only 2 or 3 rungs that no one can really climb but look super cute with decorations? I got my head wrapped around the idea that I had to have one. I’ve been looking for a while, but since I’m cheap thrifty, I wasn’t willing to pay…
