• Wooden clothespins
• Essential oil of your choice

DIY Scented Clothespins

Start by choosing your favorite essential oil fragrance. Also, make sure to use a wooden clothespin that is untreated, some come with a gloss or coating. You want the oil to be able to soak into the wood.

Lay your wooden clothespins on a wipe-able surface, or place some fabric underneath to soak up any excess drops. Drop as much or as little essential oil as you like onto the wood clothespin, but usually covering everything is best. Alternatively you can add the wooden clothespins inside a plastic bag, add the oil and mix it together.

You will start to see that the wooden clothespin will look slightly wet and glossy.

The wood soaks in the oil pretty fast so you’ll be able to use them right away. Now simply add them into any space that you want to freshen up. They’re great for closets, drawers, and storage baskets.

You can choose your favourite scented essential oils. These scented clothespins are great because you can use a different scent for every season. For spring I love lavender, lilac is great for summer, orange for fall and peppermint for winter.

These DIY scented clothespins are long lasting but you can also add more drops at anytime! How easy are these to make?

• Wood canvas (I bought this in the craft area at the dollar store, just flip it upside down to make a tray)
• Black & white paint
• Tape
• Mod Podge
• Paintbrushes
• Spooky lettering (stickers, handwritten or use your Cricut machine)

Paint and Decorate a Halloween Wood Tray

Start by flipping your wood canvas over and painting the inside with white paint.

Once dry, add some painters tape on the inside and paint the outside black. You can skip the tape if you have any sort of precision with painting, but I don’t.

Remove the tape and wait for your tray to dry.

You can use your tray now but I decided to make some fun Halloween lettering to add to the middle. I used my Cricut machine to cut the word BOO.

Add a layer of matte Mod Podge all over the Halloween wood tray and wait for it to completely dry.

Once it’s dry all you have to do is decorate your Halloween wood tray with your spooky decorations!

Sometimes you can find the most random pieces of decor for your garden. You don’t even think you need it until you see it! Cue my parents going for a walk in the forest and finding this large branch in the middle of the trail. My Mom saw the immediate potential, the small branches look like the perfect hooks for her her hanging baskets.

Upcycled Branch Flower Basket Hanger For The Garden

First they dug a small hole in the garden, enough to wedge the branch and stop it from swaying or moving.

Once they secured the branch, she hung her flower baskets from the branches.

She added 2 Begonias flower baskets and another Lobelia flower basket.

I am impressed at how clever this idea was! You can use this flower basket hanger all year, hang Mums in the fall or wrap it with Christmas lights in the winter.

Do you have any interesting garden decor?
