Taking on Pintrest, one pin at a time!Tumblr (3.0; @diditwithapin)http://diditwithapin.tumblr.com/<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4vy0oQIAM1rvgsoeo1_500.jpg"/><br/> Rachel at Smile and Wave's version<br/><br/> <img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4vy0oQIAM1rvgsoeo2_500.jpg"/><br/> Used Easter baskets we had on hand.<br/><br/> <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4vy0oQIAM1rvgsoeo4_500.jpg"/><br/> Night time.(Started this in daylight!)<br/><br/> <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4vy0oQIAM1rvgsoeo3_500.jpg"/><br/> So beautiful!<br/><br/> <p>Here are some lovely hanging baskets Rachel over at <a href="http://smileandwave.typepad.com/blog/page/2/" target="_blank">Smile and Wave</a> did. Pretty freaking awesome if you ask me. And well, my lovely roommate brought home some herbs from her mom’s garden so I just couldn’t resist trying this out! </p> <p>Pros:</p> <ul><li>REALLY simple!-All you need to do is spray paint and plant!</li> <li>You have a fantastic looking herb garden</li> <li>Your roommates will comment on how nice it is for you to do something for the house instead of just craft for yourself all the time.</li> </ul><p>Cons:</p> <ul><li>Plants are EXPENSIVE!</li> <li>Hanging them was kind of a pain. I didn’t really measure and it was a lot harder to get the string through then I’m sure the woven basket will be.</li> <li>This is a long project if you expect to do it all in one night. It took about 3 hours from start to finish, however I did plant other things in-between which I’m sure is what caused the delay.</li> </ul><p>Total Spent:</p> <ul><li>Plants-$30 (+dirt)</li> <li>Baskets-on hand/stole from roommate (THANKS COOP!)</li> <li>Spray paint-on hand from other projects</li> <li>String-on hand/stole from roommates (Man, having roommates is cool!)</li> </ul><p>Time: 3 hours</p>http://diditwithapin.tumblr.com/post/24124608863http://diditwithapin.tumblr.com/post/24124608863Thu, 31 May 2012 07:45:00 -0400smile and wavebasketsherbsplantingsarahstockett<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3ret3JpMY1rvgsoeo2_500.jpg"/><br/> Her boots all finished!

Pretty much my first Pinterest DIY, but not my last for sure! I get so many people telling me how much they love these, and it’s awesome to admit that I made them! :) I have already had a few request for repeats!</p> <p>PROS:</p> <ul><li>Super cute!</li> <li>Pretty simple to make, larger belt buckles are more of a challenge, but ok</li> </ul><p>CONS:</p> <ul><li>REALLY heavy on your feet!</li> <li>Hard to find old cowboy boots for cheap around here. I think I paid maybe $12 for these?</li> <li>Belts can get expensive if you buy too many (I may or may not have done this…)</li> </ul><p>Total Spent:</p> <ul><li>Boots-$12</li> <li>Belts-$13</li> <li>Hot glue-on hand</li> </ul><p>Time: 1 hour</p>http://diditwithapin.tumblr.com/post/22715952933http://diditwithapin.tumblr.com/post/22715952933Wed, 09 May 2012 10:27:03 -0400Mr. KateBootsDIYBOHO'sarahstockett
