The post Make Along Monday~ Summer Wreath Blog Hop appeared first on Elle Elyse - Handbags, Accessories & More!.

Hey guys, I’m part of this awesome monthly group challenge called  Make Along Monday.  Our first challenge is a Summer Wreath.  I’m  not going to lie this is my first home made wreath ( and I call myself a blogger). Recently I redecorated my great room and I was left with random sizes of  fabric pieces from all my new pillows. What to do, what to do with all that fabric…make a Summer Wreath! This diy project was so easy anyone can do it!

4 Easy Steps:

1. Get a wreath form, any would do

2. Cut fabric strips, all lengths & widths as long as they will knot around your wreath form.

3. knot the fabric strips around the form in any pattern.

4. Hang it up on your door & enjoy all summer long.

Who doesn’t like Foam Soap??  My boy’s love to pump and pump and pump the foam soap out!  So, I was going through the stuff like crazy and it was starting to add up.  So, I looked up on Pinterest (of course) how to make it myself, to my surprise, it’s only 2 ingredients!!!  Regular hand soap and HOT water…Seriously, it’s that easy!

1. squeeze hand soap into your previously purchased foam soap container about 1/3 full

2. fill with HOT water and shake

3. let sit until the soap has cooled and pump away!

Tip: I buy the refill soap at Sams Club in bulk

Looking for other way’s to save money head over to One Krieger Chick, she’s got some great ideas!

What Pinterest project are you working on??

Have a great weekend!
