Feature Friday-Blog Swap with Infarrantly Creative

April 23, 2010 By Michelle Barneck 3 Comments

Hello Tipsy Readers!
My name is Beckie and this is the face behind Infarrantly Creative…

Infarrantly Creative? Huh…what does that mean?

My last name is Farrant. I am playing off the word “inherent” which means: existing in someone or something as a permanent and inseparable element, quality, or attribute. So I am Infarrantly Creative, pleased to meet you.

I am a DIY gal with a big vision and a small budget. Come join me as I showcase all of my random projects. I do everything from furniture refabbing to sewing, painting, reupholstery, decoupaging, and cooking.

I have been married to my best friend for 11 years. I have an active, rambunctious four year-old boy named Isaac and a sweet, innocent (so far) baby girl named Kayla who is one.
Here are some of my favorite posts (click on the pictures to go to the tutorials).

One of my most favorite things I blog about is Roadkill Rescue. It is the term I have coined when I find something curbside and give it new life. Here are a few Roadkill Rescues…

Roadkill Rescued Puppet Theater/Snack Shop

and while I am bragging here is my latest love: Reupholstery!

Thanks for allowing me the spotlight. I would love to for you to come over to my house for a visit. I have got plenty of room…come grab a chair. 🙂

YW Birthday Gift Idea

April 22, 2010 By Michelle Barneck 3 Comments

Ok, so I shared this idea long ago, but finally took pics and got the saying for you. It’s only like a few months later. 😉 But, I thought they were cute so I wanted to share anyway.

The note says (by Diana Lee):
“Be strong
Be of good courage
Be not afraid
Follow in HIS footsteps and thou will not be dismayed.”

I love how it ties in to this years mutual theme Joshua 1:9.

They could be a fun tuck in treat for camp.

DIY Interchangeable Butterfly Headband

April 21, 2010 By Michelle Barneck 9 Comments

Do you want to join the headband craze, but not for $25 a pop?! Me too. I am loving all the adorable headbands you find everywhere and decided to try one out for myself. Enter the DIY Interchangeable Butterfly headband!

Isn’t she a doll?! I saw this adorable headband (below, sorry it’s hard to see, it’s the only pic I could find because cute Quinn is always behind the camera!)on my friend Quinn a few months ago and thought, I bet I could make one of those!

I went on my quest and found this dandy three pack of headbands at the Dollar Tree. I am good with 33 cents!!

Next, I headed over to Hobby Lobby and found these little beauties for $1.99! I did a little dance in the aisle. I love the colors and the little wings are made out of stiff feathers which gives them a cool texture.

You could easily glue the butterflies right to the headband, but I wanted to be able to switch out colors. The butterflies came with a wire sticking out of them, so I just secured the wire in the butterfly better with some glue and wired it right on to the headband.
