I am very excited about these little numbers right here-
After an all day event and a couple of blistered fingers (from the hot glue gun) my DIY project was completed! :] Trust me all that dedication makes up for the price of similar looking decor sold at any store! Any ways the ball to the far right is just a styrofoam ball with twine (from the dollar store) wrapped around it. As an added touch later on down the line I hot glued a "skeleton key" to the middle of it. The ball in the middle is a styrofoam ball as well with paper rosette hot glued to them.

The ball to the right I soaked twine in even parts of glue (regular craft glue) and water and wrapped around a balloon. When the twine was completely dried I simply cut the end of the balloon and pulled it out. and wa-la lol!
And this is what it looks like all together!
On to my next beauty I would like to share is my shelf-
This shelf started out with a zebra print tin covering over it. My original plan was to paint over it and distress the finish but, the tin plate was hard to work with. So, I crossed my fingers and prayed something good will come out of prying the tin cover off.... well I couldn't be happier with that decision. It was nice un-touched wood. I diluted black paint to almost work as a stain and painted the shelf then went back through while the paint was still wet and dabbed it with a paper towel to give a sort of "beat up" look. :]
And the tea light votives are as well another crafty project of mine. I just hot glued twine to it and twisted it around from top to bottom. As a finishing touch, I fabric painted some twine black tied it around the votive and hot glued on some "skeleton key" charms.
And the finishing touch, toilet paper roll flowers!
Hola mija, you are starting to turn into quite the designer. It seems this passion runs in you and I as if it where are life source! Thankfully, we have may years of watching HGTV religiously to help with our love for design :) It brings a smile to my face that you are choosing to think outside of Target and other big box stores when it comes to decorating. I strongly believe that many people lack individuality theses days. Your house should be a representation of you and not an outlet of marketing for a store!!!
