These picture frame bookends are so easy to make with just a few supplies and some creativity! Summer is my favorite time for little makeovers on my kids’ rooms, and it’s an even better time to pick some projects that they can help out with! The project I’m going to share with you today covered …

In celebration of National Craft Month, I decided to step away from the kitchen. Put down the hammer. And, well, craft! I made these gorgeous wood planters using some thrift store finds. Seriously, the hanging one turned out better than I expected! And who would have thought these started out as 35 cent salad bowls …
