The Art of Frugal Living {KISS Craft}

I like to create one of a kind holiday decor at a frugal price tag!

I call it the "Art of Frugal Living."

This craft graces my mantle and cost $4 to make.

Have fun with it!

A gentle Irish reminder and play on words with "Kiss Me I'm Irish."

Upgrade

You can upgrade this craft MANY ways! Since my tv hangs directly above these boxes I couldn't add anything else.

A few of my favorites include

ANYTHING on a stick!

Take a shis-ka-bob skewer paint it with glue.

Roll it in green glitter and attach one of these darling FREE printables

itsy Belle

Bird's Party

TomKat Studio

OR 

If you'd prefer more of a vintage feel check out these pinwheels featured on

Stacy Jacobsen Photography.

It's a FULL Tutorial! 

I would do vintage inspired printed paper with vintage buttons.  

Finally I would do a thin line of glue around the perimeter of the pinwheel 

and dip it into green or gold glitter! 

I will be making these pinwheels for another part of my home.

Giddy! 

There you have it!

Enjoy!
