MIKSTANG MEMORIAL DAY DIY

 Top of the world. I hope that you are doing great and enjoying this three day weekend. For myself who is currently serving in the military, Memorial Day is more than being off from work. It is a day to remember all of those fallen brave courageous men and women who have lost their life to protect the land of the free. Now, on to the details of this Mikstang Memorial Day DIY. About 80 percent of this DIY was purchased at the dollar tree. DIY 1 :So let's start with the table runner that I created. I purchased the fabric at Joann fabric, in which this piece is actually a remnant. So, I spent less than $2 bucks. DIY 2 : The wine glasses was purchased at the Dollar Tree, I have used these glasses in various blog posts. This DIY is quick and easy. The supplies that you will need: Wine glasses, fine glitter, mod podge and Krylon clear sealer.  DIY 3: The candle holders have also been featured in numerous blog posts. Another quick and easy project.  Supplies needed: 4 single handle stem holders, 2 clear candle glass candle holder (oval or circle) shaped and E6000 glue. For this project glue the two stems together with the E6000, let them sit over night and just put the candle holder on top and you are done!!! Last but not least, the arrangement. DIY 4: Supplies needed: The flowers were purchased at Walmart for $0.97 . The red and white vase fillers was purchased after Christmas at Hobby lobby for $0.80 cent and I separated the colors. The clear glass vase was purchased at dollar tree and the blue glass filler was purchased for $2.00 at a local dollar store. To add a little spice, I bought the stars from Target last year. So I home that you all have enjoyed this post and given you some inspiration. I hope that you all have a great Memorial Day and please be safe!!! 

FOLLOW YOUR DREAM DOOR MAT DIY!!!

Top of the  world.  I hope that you all are doing great. The weather has gotten warmer and I was on the search for a summer Welcome mat. Did you all know that Welcome mats are so expensive, so I decided to create my own. I wanted something that was bright and had an inspirational message.  I call this Welcome mat MMIH Mikstang Made It Herself. So here are details. I purchased this door mat at dollar tree. The paint was purchased from Walmart and  is by Folk Art paint in neon yellow for $1.97. The foam brushes was purchased at Joann for $.97 and the stencil was purchased on clearance at Hobby Lobby for $.75. After I had created the mat, I later decided that it was missing something. So I decided to add some trim that was purchased at Michaels on clearance for $1.00. Some other additional things that you will need will be a plastic bag to cover your work area and tape to hold the stencil in place. I absolutely loved the way that this Welcome mat turned out. Each day I step outside my door I am reminded to follow my dreams. I hope that you all enjoyed this post. Mikstang Living!!!!
