  • Scrap Skirt

    I always love to DIY on the weekends! Today I made this super easy scrap skirt that doesn’t require a sewing machine. Even if your not crafty, this is an easy one!

    I got all my supplies at Joann Fabric

    First measure the waist to see where to trim the elastic

    I put a quick stitch to hold the ends together

    Next cut all the fabric into 1” strips the tulle I just cut the same length as the fabric strips
    Tie the first strip over the spot where the ends meet
    Add more colors and create your pattern
    Continue the pattern until you fill the skirt
    Ready for the pumpkin patch
  • Pool Noodle Rainbow

    Pool Noodle Rainbow

    Here is everything you need to get started!

    I used the regular sized pool noodles, some hot glue, and yarn colors of your choice! The Drill saves so much time! I found a foam ball from the kids toys and it fit right in the hole, then wedge the largest drill bit I could find in between. I felt like McGyver, but it’s a hack you can appreciate!! The previous rainbow we made, I hand wound and it took days!! I still can’t believe I did that.

    To give it some stiffness I added the copper pipe because that’s what we had leftover in the garage, but any bendable pipe would work. I also wove wooden skewers behind the noodles to hold it together!!

    For the cord at the bottom I unwound the rope, cut into 6 inch sections and then folded those in half and frayed the ends
    To finish I glued the rope into the holes and then covered the bottom 2 inches of the rainbow with the undone rope to coverup the ends

    Let me know what colors you would put together!
