I'm totally cheating today and re-posting something I wrote as a guest post for Lauren recently. I'm not sure if many of y'all saw it so I thought I'd share it here!
But first I gotta tell you, I did one DIY project the weekend of Thanksgiving and sure, it was the easiest thing ever (even so, I'll post a quick tutorial soon!) but I basically felt like a god - dang rock star when it was done. Can you believe I'm FINALLY BEING CRAFTY, Y'ALL!? :) Lindsay's DIY post today totally inspired me for my next project too; her glittery ornaments are the cutest! And who doesn't love glitter with no mess?!
Read on and let me know if you'd try any of these! Or tell me what your next DIY project is ;)
So I don't know about you but I feel like everyone in blog land has become Martha Stewart since Pinterest was invented and I, for one, am totally jealous! Where was I when the crafty gene was being handed out?! Either I missed out or I am just seriously lazy. (But that sounds bad so I'm gonna blame the baby for now, ok? Sorry, Violet.)
I figure the only way to turn things around is to start small. So today I'm sharing some of the easiest Christmas DIY projects eh-ver. So easy even I could pull them off. And I fully intend to. Pinky swear! Plus, Ronnie called me out for talking a big game on my blog about wanting to DIY and never following through so I kinda have to prove him wrong.
My favorite thing about these projects is that you won't even have to step away from the TV and/or bottle of wine to get these done! What's not to love about that?

I love all of these! I've already got the supplies to make the glitter letter banner so I need to get that done!
LOVE this! i've been wanting to do the ornaments in a shadow box for a while. I can't believe I never thought to make people ornaments with their monograms!!! Totally doing it, cheap and easy!
I totally did the wine bottles with the salt last year. Stupid me didn't take pictures though! It came out eh. The "snow" kept falling off though.
I love these other ideas too!
I really want to do the ornaments on fishing wire. It looks so pretty!
