5 DIY Headboard Ideas

So, I have a confession to make... I am a pinaholic. I. LOVE. PINTEREST. Who doesn't love Pinterest?! I think I even catch my husband liking, laughing, or wanting me to pin certain ones when I am on and he is near by! I remember one of my first pins was a DIY headboard idea. So, thanks to Pinterest today's post is dedicated to my favorite DIY headboard ideas. 

1. Rustic Window Influence:

Something Breezy

My first headboard idea is featured from no other than...moi. Using old windows just adds an element of rustic chic to any room. This is a fairly simple DIY because all the materials you need are window(s), fabric, and a staple gun. The best way to get these rustic windows is either from antiquing/thrifting OR find a family/friend who has barn connections. I was lucky and had a friend grab these at their family farm.

Here are the three easy steps I did to make mine:

1. Wipe/Clean windows up
2. Measure and then cut fabric 
3. Staple fabric onto the back of the window

YAY! Super easy and super cute! My favorite part about this is you can change out the fabric any time that you please...nothing permanent. Here is the picture that I got my inspiration from:

2. Cozy Up:

Better Homes and Garden

I am all about cozy. Find a fireplace screen, unfold, and hang. I would spray paint it an accent color so it would complement with the other colors in the room. Throw some Christmas lights around it to make it extra cozy.

3. Bookworm:

Better Home and Gardens

AAAAAHHH for those bookworms, this one is for you! One of my favorite DIY headboard ideas yet again comes from Better Homes and Garden. Curtain panel, curtain rod, fabric markers, and favorite quotes....few materials to make a bold statement would make this DIY well worth the time!

4. Reclaimed Wood:

Remodelaholic

I hate throwing away items when I know I can reuse it for something better! This DIY uses reclaimed wood and makes it a great upcycling project, and who wouldn't want to give back to the enviornment?!   Head over to Remodelholic for the full tutorial.

5. Chalk It Up

Apartment Therapy

I am obsessed with chalkboard markers. So, any time I get to chalk it up, I will! This DIY is simple and versatile by being able to erase and draw/write whenever you please. Inexpensive chalkboards can be found at Hobby Lobby or any other craft/decor supplier. 

So, there you have it, Something Breezy's top 5 DIY headboard ideas that I absolutely adore. 

As always,

Dollar Tree Destination: Magnetic Memo Boards

The Dollar Tree is my first stop for when I am in need for craft supplies. Everything is a dollar and they almost always have what I need! Today's craft is magnetic memo boards made out of cake pans. I got this lovely idea off of none other than...Pinterest! These memo boards are inexpensive and adorable!

Supplies Needed:

• Cake Pan 
• Scrapbook Paper
• Scissors
• Mod Podge
• Bottle Caps/Magnets (optional) 
• Ribbon & Drill (optional)
• Spray Paint (optional)

1. I wanted to be able to hang mine by using ribbon so I had my lovely hubby drill to holes in the pan.

2. Next, I painted the sides because I wanted to add some color. I did two coats. Totally optional...it will just give it more character :)

3. While those were drying I made my bottle cap magnets! Cut scrapbook paper to size and apply with mod podge to the front. Let dry and then add the magnets on the back! Quick and simple to do took me about five minutes, and some for drying ;)

4. When the pan is dry you can cut paper to size the front and apply with mod podge. First by putting a layer on the pan, then by putting the paper down and adding a layer on top of it. Let dry completely. 

5.  After it's dry cut ribbon to the length you want, tie, hang, and ENJOY :) Oh...and add those gorgeous magnets to it!

Oh My Buttons!

Oh My Buttons! I absolutely love them, especially when they are involved in crafts!

So today's fabulous craft is no other then. . . (drumroll please . . . ) A Button Monogram!!!! 

Not only can this craft be a future piece of decor in your home, but also would be a fabulous gift for any occasion!

The original tutorial is from American Crafts Studio, but here's how I did it!

Supplies Needed:

• Frame without glass (Hobby Lobby $6.00)
• Bag of Buttons (Hobby Lobby $5.00) added to my collection! Remember to check around the home for spare buttons lying around or get some off of clothes you never wear anymore! 
• Brads (not pictured Hobby Lobby $2.00)
• Cardstock, Glue Gun, & Glue Sticks (Part of My Essentials)
• W initial (typed and then enlarged in word document)

3 Simple Steps:

1. First cut cardstock down to frame size. Then plug glue gun in and trace initial on the cardstock.

2. Begin placing buttons inside letter! Here is a tip: start with the big buttons and work the way down to smaller ones. I used my brads as my fillers towards the end of the craft. Still wondering what brads are? ;) Check out the picture below.  I also glued as I placed them on so then if the craft accidentally got moved I wouldn't have to start over! Continue to fill up initial until it's full :)

3. When initial is finished pick all the glue goobers off and place it in frame to enjoy!

Of course I took this idea one step further and did this:

A Heart! Adorable...right?!

Transforming That White Wall: DIY Wall Decor

My one pet peeve when it comes to decorating is leaving a wall completely white and blank. A solution to this is a DIY (do it yourself) Wall Decor project that is:

• Inexpensive 
• Time conscientious 
• Wall transforming :)
• Chic & Fun!

Materials Needed:

• Embroidery Hoops 8,6, and 4 inch
• Fabric (I got 1/2 yard of each and had extra for another set)
• Scissors
• Spray Paint (optional)
• Hammar/Nails

Steps I took:

1. (Optional Step) There are two pieces to the hoop (inside & outside piece). Take the inside piece out and with some old newspaper on the ground spray paint the outside of each hoop.

2. While the outside pieces are drying take the inside pieces to measure how much fabric should be cut. Cut the fabric about an inch around the hoop.

3. Lay down the inside piece and put the cut fabric on top of it. When the outside piece is dry loosen the knob at the top and place it on top of fabric and inside piece. Tighten the knob and pull fabric so it will be nice and secure!

4. Cut off any extra fabric. This is what the back of mine looked like. Repeat steps 2-4 with the other hoops.

5. When you are finished transform your wall by hanging up your new wall art!

Here is my blank wall transformation:

Bland...

Super Cute!!!!

Closer Look :)

I love this DIY wall decor and can't wait to do more with my extra fabric! 

Remember the more the merrier :)
