diy with Brittni:

Hi everyone! It's Brittni from papernstitch with another craft project roundup for you. When thinking about what to feature for this week, I started to feel like last week's small things post needed a follow-up. So, I have another small things diy roundup for you on this beautiful Friday morning. Let's get started...

(above) Freshen up those tired bowls, vases, and other household items with a fresh coat of paint (idea from stylist Rebecca Newport via Decor8). It sounds a little strange, but the results are hard to argue with. The secret? Make sure its a chalky matte finish and remember color is important.

Make a no sew fabric coin purse like this one from Between the Lines with just a few scraps. This little diy would be the perfect gift for party favors, bridesmaids, and birthdays. And its so easy, you can even get the kids involved.

And finally, here are a couple of projects from Martha, who is at it again with her clever tutorials. Learn how to cross-stitch pretty much anything (from fabric scraps to pencil bags) with a few fun projects. Or create a batch of quick and quirky button magnets for the fridge.

Working on any craft projects this weekend?

Let me know in the comments.
