Pretty Me Up // DIY Pastel Hoop Earrings For Dummies!

 Hola! 

I've got a quick one for all of you today...

I've tried my hand first time at making jewelry and here's the result!

So you get what a less-than-amateur like me would start with, simple hoops and beads! Since I'm not a jewelry makin' maniac, I took the simplest route and if you have never tried makin' jewelry (like dumb ol' me), this may just get you started!

The Decorista Chronicles//DIY Cross-Stitch Wall Art (without the stitching!)

Well, hullo there wall-art lovers united!
Lookie here! 

Let's start with the behind-the-scenes of this wall-art adventure tale.
It all began with a cute idea to use a stamp to punch in some cross marks using inkpads to create a beautiful rose *cross-stitch" wall-art.
Problem #1 encountered: I don't own stamps, in fact, I don't even own a single stamp. I'm not that aaaahhh-such a pretty stamp! kinda girl...no offense.
Problem #2 encountered: I don't own inkpads,refer to problem #1.

So now what?
Nothing to worry about, I thought. I can make my own (stamp), with a pencil eraser topper!
Wow, that's brilliant, I was almost pleased with myself to begin working on it when I thought, hmmm, why not make it easier?
Great, the only "cross-mark" thing I could come up with was a + sign screw driver. Hmm, sounds good, until I actually tried it of course. It came out a horrible mess.
So much for the old rusty screw-driver fiasco.
Wait, there's still hope! What about the rubber topper idea? So I tried that too, maybe it would've worked if I had inkpads at hand, but with paint? Nope, it looked like some kid's finger nail marks drenched in paint.
Ugh! 
There was a way, but I was determined to think of an easier way until I finally gave in, to the hard way..
which, (btw), hardly turned out hard at all, you could set your little ones to do it once they get the idea!
Just get down sketch pens in your fav colors and some canvas!
Don't have a canvas? Use an old-shoe box lid, carton lid any lid for which you can cut a white sheet to size and glue it on. Then start on a cross-marking spree like me,

Oh, you wanted to know why I was so grounded to do this stuff and hang it prettily on my wall in the first place?

Here, look at this mouth watering inspiration!            

Here are snaps of my progress with my lil colorful weapons:
