Faux Succulent Jars...

I love placing decor pieces on a windowsill, don't you?

A popular trend at the moment is textured glass, so I was very happy to happen upon these sweet cut glass vases on sale!

 Honestly, there are some very, very, very cool things that are available in home decor accessories nowadays.

These jars were so pretty.

A grey shade in colour, and cut glass patterning.

Three is always the most gentle on the eye, so I bought three.

Now you could place mini bunches of fresh garden flowers in these, but I chose to buy the faux succulents to put in my jars.

(unkillable plant = love, and they look soooo real!)

Easiest decor spruce up ever -

Take your shopping home...

Unwrap the packages...
Place on the sill.
And voila'...

A fresh pop in the bathroom decor!

And the best thing is:

I can't kill these plants as I don't have to remember to water them!

DIY Pallet Poolside Towel Hanger...

Add a little poolside whimsy with a DIY towel hanger.

All you need to make this is:

a hanger ($12 from KMart)

A larger piece of pallet wood that is painted white to attach the hanger 

Pool word clipart

(see bottom for the link and printable)

Modpodge glue

Scissors

Rope

Staple Gun

Print your word art

 Cut it out.

Mod Podge onto pallet wood.

When dry, seal with an outdoor spray on sealer for added weather protection.

Nail the hanger in place onto the pallet.

Staple rope to sides and use it to attach to the pool fence.

It must be time for a pool party!

Note:

The free download for the 'Pool' word clip art is via 

Cipartkid.com

I resized it.

By saving it to word.

Right click.

Then click size and position.

Rotate.

And use corner arrows to adjust size.

This is a one summer project - as the ink will gradually fade on the pool word if in the sunshine.
To make it more permanent - paint (use acrylics) the word using the template as a guide and then seal.
