La Catrina Tile Art (a framing DIY)

After stowing away a few handpainted tiles on our Sayulita adventures, and a few other treasures, it was about time to frame the falkloric ceramics. Being tiles, both small and thicker than the normal frameable art, I had to come up with a way to make framing work. Ikea has these great frames (the RIBBA) that allow you to add depth to your picture. Pretty perfect, right?

{Guest Post: Happily Grey} A Pop of Sunflowers!

Hi! My name is Mary from Happily Grey and I could not be more excited to share one of my favorite DIY projects that I recently made. The idea first came from the all addicting Pinterest via Whit's Amuse Bouche! Since we recently just moved into a a new space, I have been knee deep in several projects attempting to fill vacant wall spaces in a more creative, personalized light! This project caught my eye for many reasons (small vase bottles, natural twine, and the pop of sunflowers & weeds) AND it is sooo simple! It literally took me 1 hr from start to finish! Here are a few of my pictures of the needed supplies and shots along the way! For the full tutorial please visit the original Hanging Wallflower creator Whit's Amuse Bouce. 

 A few tips I can add:

• I found my old frame in the "damaged" section at Michaels for $5. I liked the original color so I did not paint or sand the frame. 
• Michaels and Walmart have the small vase glass available for $1 a piece. Pick out pieces that have a lip. 
• I also found my flowers and weeds from Michaels ...great selection and I bought when they were 50% off! 

Hope your enjoy this DIY as much as I did! Thanks Lauren for letting me share my DIY inspiration. I am loving your blog and everything you are doing...you are truly talented and have such a creative eye! Check out my favorite post by Lauren here, here, and here!
