DIY Under $5 {Sugar Shaker Bouquet}

June 1, 2011 By Michelle Barneck 6 Comments

Need a quick and cute little gift idea? This mini bouquet may just be your answer. It is so easy and is a great way to say “thinking of you.” I saw this idea on my friend Whitney’s blog (her personal blog so I will not link, unless she tells me otherwise) a while back and immediately fell in love with it. She used carnations, but since I bought my flowers on Memorial Day, Mums were plentiful and I like their shape.

{Sugar Shaker Bouquet}

Supplies needed:
  • Sugar shaker
  • Flowers with skinny stems (I used one medium Mum plant for my 3 bouquets)
  • Kitchen shears
  • Ribbon
  • Glue dots
  • Chipboard letter sticker

Just fill up your sugar shaker with water, put the lid on and cut the flowers so the stem is small enough to poke through the holes in the shaker lid and there is your bouquet.

It’s like flower arranging 101.

Total cost for three: $7
Shakers $3
Mum $4
Ribbon on hand
Letters on hand

Cost for one: $2.33

Now it’s time to link up your $5 projects!

Please remember:

  • Only link to your own projects that cost you $5 or less (price does not have to include items you had on hand)
  • You can link past projects that fit the dollar limit, but please only link each project once
  • No giveaways or items for sale
  • Please link back so others can join the party and so you have the opportunity to be featured on Saturday!

DIY Under $5: Ruffle Tank

May 25, 2011 By Michelle Barneck 7 Comments

Welcome to another week of DIY under $5! This week I tackled a tank top that has been sitting lonely in my closet. I wore it maybe once a year to the lake. I felt bad for the poor thing and decided to spruce it up a bit. Hello cute, feminine, ruffly number perfect for spring.

A couple weeks ago before our girl’s craft weekend I went to Hobby Lobby and stumbled upon some trim remnant bags for 99 cents. These things are gold I tell you! Of course there were some totally weird and hideous bits in there, but there were also some fabulous pieces to be had.

Honestly, when I first pulled out the eyelet ruffles I thought what in the world would I do with those? I have no daughters and I was not sure if a grown woman could pull off eyelet. I guess you can be the judge on that one, but I got the idea to cut it in two and sew it to my pink tank. I am actually quite pleased with how it turned out.

Tank: already had in closet
Eyelet trim: part of 99 cent trim remnant bag
Total cost: 20 cents

Now it’s time to link up your $5 projects!
