Hey everyone,
I’ve been an absent blogger this week. The hubs and I had a small Portland get-away, and ever since, I haven’t been motivated to write a post.
I’ve started three different posts, but haven’t finished any…..what’s my problem!?
However, I built a tree in my bedroom today (sounds weird, but it’s awesome), and I look forward to showing you all next week.
Anyways, here’s some garland that I made early on in the season and have been sharing when guest posting on other blogs….guess it’s time to share it here!

DIY Sparkle Star Garland
To start, purchased 1 package of these stars (5 stars/package) and 1 package of the word Joy from the Dollar Store.
(They are supposed to be Christmas tree ornaments, but I like to use them everywhere.)
Next, cut a few thin strips of fabric from material. I used some linen I had from another project.
If you wanted to save time, you could even use ribbon.
Start tying the end of the material strips on the ends of the stars.
Since the stars are thin plastic, if you tie the material tight, it will stay tied on.
….and after a few minutes, you will have some sparkly garland.
You could make it long enough to use on a hearth,
…or maybe even your tree.
Not bad for only $2 and 10 minutes!
In light of all the tragedy that has happened today. I hope you hug your loved ones this weekend.
I’ll be praying for all those affected. Such sorrow, around a time that should be so joyous. It truly breaks my heart.

I'm a wife, a sister, a daughter, a mother of 5, a Jesus lover, a coffee abuser, an obsesser of all things DIY, design and decor related.
Most of what you'll see here are ways to live inexpensively, and how I put those into practice with my constant need to renovate houses.
We are a military family of 7, so houses must come big and inexpensive, and made beautiful as we go, turning what most would see as trash, into treasure.
Thanks for stopping by, stay awhile and make yourself at home. I hope you enjoy my ideas. 
My kind of project. Love it!
That is a really cute idea, Katie. I love it-it’s a bit shabby and a bit glitzy! xo Diana
Your ideas are simple and elegant! I’ve loved touring your holiday home!
Thanks Linda!
What a cute idea! And such a bargain, too.
Thanks Jennifer!
I love anything sparkle-y! I love that you have added little touches throughout your home to make it special for the Holidays!
Happy Holidays to you & yours!

i Love how you used dollar store ornaments in a new way. Excellent idea!
What a cute project!
Very cute! I just bought a pack of the joy ornaments for another reason so I was excited when I found this project linked up to the party!
Thanks for linking up this week!

Looks fantastic, and I love that it was so easy and inexpensive. Happy Holidays!
An easy, really pretty project! I can’t wait to try it out.
It’s adorable! I love it! Merry Christmas, Katie!
A late Merry Christmas to you too Roeshel! I hope you had a wonderful one. I’m so not ready to take down my Christmas stuff. I think I’m just going to make myself happy and leave it up for another three weeks! lol
