How to Decorate a Stunning White and Silver Christmas Tree
Christmas is coming up fast, and putting up a tree can easily fall on the back burner with busy holiday hours and seasons. This gorgeous White Christmas Tree looks like it came right out of the Southern Living catalog. This tree came pre lit, and I highly recommend a pre lit tree to save a lot of time and effort. This Christmas tree took an afternoon to put up, and the results are worth it.

Gem Mine Experience and Tips in North Carolina
Gem Mines are awesome tourist attractions, where you can find your own precious gemstones. This could mean rubies, emeralds, sapphires, maybe even some precious metals like gold in some mines. Gem mining can be expensive and sometimes the gems are even planted in the dirt, so the company monitors how many rocks you get. Luckily, Gem Mountain pulls the dirt out of the mine and leaves it to you to search for hidden treasures. What

Polymer Clay Citrus Cane Slices
Just because summer is over does not mean citrus is unacceptable. Polymer clay can be an easy medium to work with if done right, and this simple cane is a great place to start.

Five Nights at Freddy’s Golden Freddy Drawing
FNAF is definitely not getting any more popular, so why not do a drawing of Five Nights at Freddy’s Golden Freddy? This drawing was a mix of pastel and pencils. Pastels are my favorite medium due to how flexible they are, as they are made of pure pigment they can be used like paint or pencil. This medium is very messy, so do make sure to have a good open workspace. What you will need

Sculpt your Own Bubble Tea Charm
Bubble tea is an aesthetically pleasing drink that is known for being bright colors and having little brown “bubbles” in the bottom. These bubbles are tapioca, and are often called Boba or pearls.

Blue Jewelry Box Repair and Repaint
I have this old Blue Jewelry Box with sentimental value and I thought it looked a little gnarly. With a bit of acrylic paint, a mirror, and some love I made this old jewelry box look almost as good as new. If you are attempting to fix a different kind of jewelry box, result, color, and the process itself may vary. I love mixing custom shades of paint and restoring things, so this project was
