FREE DOWNLOAD | iPhone Case Designs

As soon as my new iPhone arrived last week, I knew what I wanted to do asap—customize it!

I was inspired to create my own case insert by this post from Craft and Creativity. All you need is a clear case or a rubber case with a clear back and you can pop in your own designs or photos.

Join in on the fun! I've included a PDF of four black and white designs you can print out and use in your own cases. You'll have to trim down the sides a tad based on your individual case. Be sure to trace the opening for the camera lens and cut it out as well.

I left an area on the black chevron design if you'd like to personalize yours with an initial like mine. Enjoy!

CRAFTS | Oversized Pinwheels

Have you ever made a pinwheel? I can't believe it took me 38 years to try it. So easy! 

I made this oversized, decorative version to dress up my girls' Easter baskets. Decorative meaning they don't spin. Oversized because I used 12x 12 double-sided scrapbook paper.

HOW TO:

• Fold in half diagonally to make a triangle. Unfold, then fold in the opposite side to make another triangle. When unfold you should have an X in fold lines. 
• Using scissors, cut these lines from the corners toward the center point. Stop about 3 inches from the center.
• You'll now have eight corner points. Punch a hole into every other corner and the center point of the paper.
• Align the four punched holes to the center hole and secure with a brad. (I used a decorative brad.)
• I attached a wooden skewer on the back with tape and then added a circle of paper over it to make it look pretty.

I'm thinking of a wall scattered with a variety of big, patterned pinwheels would be insanely cute. How about with fabric covered brads too? Oh, the possibilities!

PRESS | Ladera Ranch Magazine

A magazine feature! Whoop!

Thanks to the editors at Ladera Ranch Magazine for asking me to contribute my chick wreath tutorial to their current issue. The magazine serves the Orange County, California, area. Do you think any of the Real Housewives will be rocking a wreath soon?

If you'd like to make the wreath, check out my original post here.
