"Definitely Do" Top Three DIY Picks: Easy Peasy Ideas to Simplify Your Life

1. Cereal Container for Car Trash



When I saw this on Pinterest I was immediately in love. My car, with the help of two little ones, is always a mess. From lollipop wrappers, to miscellaneous toys, and even french toast sticks left over from a few days earlier, it is inevitably difficult to keep up with all the trash. I usually just try to throw it all in an empty fast food bag or plastic grocery bag. High class, right?

For around $7 you can find a cereal container at Wal Mart, Target and pretty much any home store. If you don't feel like making the trip out to get one check out The Container Store online.

Wreath O' Yarn -- Guest Blogger Review

Each month we will have a guest blogger join us to write about a "Definitely Do" or "Definitely Don't" that they have made and reviewed from pinterest.com and another DIY Blogs. This month a good friend of mine, Rachel, is going to share with us her review on a pin she found on Pinterest.

So two things you should know about me 1. I have always LOVED making crafts, 2. I kind of stink at them. So if I can do it, ANYONE can do it!!!!! I saw this wreath and it looked doable…and it TOTALLY WAS and it looks fabulous! I haven’t quite finished with the garnish so for now it’s just got a pretty bow! The biggest mistake I made was my color choice. I wasn’t really sure how this was going to look, so I just picked a yarn that was on sale. I have a dark blue door and I bought dark purple yarn…so it’s a little difficult to see. Otherwise I love it and I’m very happy with the way it turned out! Plus it was super cheap!! The wreath itself was about $2.99 and I think the yarn was $1.00. This is a "DEFINITELY DO"!!!!

Reupholstered Chairs

Be sure to like us on Facebook for more DIY reviews, you are our DIY Rockstars(what we call our followers), not just fans! We love your support for our Blog!

A little over 4 years ago,when we first moved into our home, we had the most beautiful white chairs for our high set kitchen table. Over time (a.k.a. after children) they turned into finger painted master pieces, which you will soon see during the reupholstering process. My mama recently came for a visit and we decided to do something about the truly characteristic yet slightly embarrassing chairs.

Mac N Cheese Bites, Bite

On Friday, while watching The Chew my mom and I saw these delightful looking mac n cheese bites -- a fun spin on your regular favorite cheesy dish. We printed the recipe and immediately knew we would give them a try later that day.

You'll be able to find the recipe on the link above for The Chew but here are a few of the steps and tips we have from making these.

"Definitely Do" Top Three DIY Picks: Engagement Announcements

The most exciting part... announcing to the world you are tying the knot. Most choose the traditional photography session with an engagement caption. This is always an elegant and beautiful way to spread the word but I'm about to share some of the top creative and one of a kind ways, spicing up the photography session, to show the ones you love how much in love you are.

#1 Tie the Knot

weddinggirl.ca has a fun way to share the love. An announcement with a string on the inside of it, that when opened ties an actual knot. Love!

My Tip: I love the string idea but to make it more fun I would use a color that is matching to your wedding theme

Don't Even Think About It

While looking for more fab things to pin I found a few (well maybe more than a few) "Definitely Don'ts" that other pinners have unfortunately added on to the famous pin board.

This pin was added to the DIY & Crafts section under this person's "things to make" board. This needs to be on What Not to Wear and hopefully we can get this person on the show before they have a chance to create this awful outfit.
