A Sweet DIY Christmas Gift!

How To Make A Clay Jewelry Dish!

I have another sweet and easy DIY Christmas craft, but this time it is a gift! It is a clay jewelry dish and is perfect for someone special in your life. What I especially like about this is that it is something that you can make with kiddos but looks like it could have been bought at a boutique. I absolutely love the simplicity of it all! I am joining Ashley at Modern Glam, Janine at Happy Happy Nester and Leslie at My 100 Year Old Home to share these ideas.

To make these little dishes you will need:

  • Air dry clay
  • Rolling Pin
  • Plastic Place Mat
  • Large round cookie cutter or a large rimmed glass
  • Small faux branch for imprinting
  • Cooking Spray
  • Muffin Pan

Here is how I put these little dishes together…

Simply grab a plum sized amount of clay and roll it into a smooth ball.

Then roll it out flat until you get the thickness you want. I did about 1/4 -1/2 an inch. The fatter it is the longer it will take to dry.

Now use your cookie cutter to make the circle shape.

Carefully press the branch into the clay form. I turned mine upside down and lightly rolled the rolling pin on it so it really made an imprint.

Slowly remove the branch… And then I sprayed some oil onto a muffin pan. Place the dishes lightly atop the muffin pan to give the dishes a slight upward curve shape. You can dip your finger in water and very lightly brush the edges of the dish to smooth them out with your finger.

Let them dry for the amount of time specified on your clay. I will say I put mine into the oven at 200 degrees for about 20 minutes. It does seem to change the coloring a bit but I was ok with it! I can’t recommend this as I don’t know how it affects the clay but wanted to mention I did it in an attempt to get things going quicker and it helped shape the clay form better.

And there you have it! You could always paint these too, I was liking the more natural look though.

I couldn’t believe how well these turned out and what a precious gift they could make.

I love the idea of handprints or initials too… I hope this inspires you this gift giving season!

I love wind chimes, chirping birds and dripping fountains... So you can imagine how fun it has been to be inside with the windows open and hearing all if those noises at once 💕. This could be a project that would be easily done with inexpensive pieces and makes a big impact for your outdoor space. Speaking of outdoor spaces, I shared ours all ready for summer up on the blog along with my friends. Come check it out if you need some easy ideas!
One bathroom for 4 people can be tricky... 🤪 Bu One bathroom for 4 people can be tricky... 🤪 But in stories I am sharing some tips and tricks for storage in a small bathroom like ours! I am talking about how we use drawers, but try to keep things pretty/functional at the same time... Come check it out and see how we think outside the box when it comes to this space! One of my new favorite tips comes from these 100% Cotton Turkish towels we were gifted from @theloomia! Not only are they pretty, they are large, but save space at the same time... You’ll have to go see what I mean in my stories, see you there! And @theloomia is offering 15% off when you use the code - Zevyjoy15 💕
I am currently working on Everly’s dollhouse and I am currently working on Everly’s dollhouse and adding some fun wall treatments/trim... I only wish real size home DIY’s were as simple as popsicle sticks and wood glue 😂! Come see what I mean on stories... But I did grab some fresh flowers for the yard and shared how I simply decorate for this favorite season of mine, summer ☀️ . It’s all up on the blog and I am joining my friends too so come say hello 💕
I listened to your votes in stories and this old t I listened to your votes in stories and this old thrifted mirror got a few coats of “Play it Cool” (the color I had on hand from our kitchen cabinets 😉). And this hallway is finally done 🎉! Here is a little before and after... The board and batten design is from @anitayokota after I saw how she used it in her pretty bedroom I knew this would put a fun modern spin in the hallway. Some fresh paint, an affordable vintage rug and updated lighting completed this long dark space. Covering popcorn ceilings will come next, but I hope this shows how a little trim and paint go a long way when working on spaces! 🌿
This past week was a time to listen and prayerfully learn. My eyes were opened and my heart convicted to speak up and to do better... While I begin to share my content here, I will strive to move forward for change and find ways to support black lives here and at home.
Please refer to @blackandembodied and @jessicawils Please refer to @blackandembodied and @jessicawilson.msrd for more about this movement. My feed will be muted here as I listen and learn. I will be in stories sharing resources that support black lives. #amplifymelanatedvoices
Clearly blue is on our mind... We both walked out Clearly blue is on our mind... We both walked out dressed sorta matching this morning 😂 This girl knows what she likes and asked to have her pink room transformed with blue... And you know when you give a mouse a cookie... 🍪 (Clearly I am the mouse 🐭 in this story 🤣) We finished up the new bead-board wall (I have trim touch up to do still) and then we are finishing spraying her little desk this afternoon. A couple vintage pieces are on the way, but otherwise I have been shopping the house for this little makeover. It’s all still in progress, but getting closer! And you all... This room is small!! So I am going to share how we tackle storage in this space so stay tuned in stories... 💕
Ever since I was little I can remember my dad tell Ever since I was little I can remember my dad telling me (who is a contractor/designer) the importance of using 3’s 💕. Now as I have made our own home, I almost always use the rule of 3’s whenever I am decorating. That goes for coffee tables, nightstands and more... I’m talking all about it and showing you some examples in stories today! And even more fun is that @boutiquerugs is offering 60% off with the code - ZEVYJOY60 ! This is the new rug we added from their collection to our bedroom here! So enjoy and have fun looking around at all their pretty selections... #boutiquerugspartner
You all know how I feel about pillows by now, don’t you?! 😂 Well in case you don’t... I think they are the best! They pull a space together affordably and make things cozy of course! You can trade them out or just keep adding to them (which is what I like to do 😉). And let’s face it, you can never have too many... Am I right? They are your artistic canvas in home decor and in my opinion there aren’t many rules to follow in the fun of mixing and matching them either! 🌿
Best of all, I’ve teamed up with 7 talented accounts to share how we used pillows to style our spaces. Head on over and check out what they’ve done... @thegingerhome
