How to Make a Cardboard Loom

By Brittni • posted on 06/05/2024

If you want to get started with weaving, without spending any money, this DIY cardboard loom is a must try! Easy to make and completely free – all you need is cardboard.

Cardboard loom weaving reminds me of potholder loom weaving in a lot of ways. It’s easy to do, making it a creative option for kids and adults. It’s fun! And it doesn’t take a ton of time to produce something cute / useful in the end. But the two most obvious things that a cardboard loom has over any other kind of weaving loom is accessibly and affordability! We all have a little cardboard hanging around our homes from time to time, right? Or maybe even daily if you’re like me.

And since its something you likely already have, you can get started making a cardboard loom of your own with just a couple of additional supplies (that you likely already have).

Delicious 3 Ingredient Blackberry Syrup

By Brittni • posted on 05/30/2024

Blackberry syrup has so much flavor. It’s delicious and VERY easy to make. All you need are 3 ingredients and 10 minutes.

I’ve made simple syrup many times before, but this blackberry syrup is by far the best I’ve made. 

It all started when I bought a snow cone machine not too long ago. Admittedly it was a panic buy before school is out for summer. I figured it would be a fun thing we could break out from time to time when we’re bored. But as it turns out, so far at least, we’ve used this snow cone machine A LOT. 

And that’s why I’m sharing a blackberry syrup recipe. Making the syrup for snow cones is definitely an extra step. But when I looked into the ingredients for premade syrups for snow cones, it felt worth it to make my own. Especially if we’re gonna be eating snow cones pretty regularly this summer.

That’s not the only thing you can use this homemade blackberry simple syrup for though. It’s also great for cocktails, tea, sparkling water, on top of ice cream and even pancakes . Plus, you can make a little fresh jam with the leftover fruit as well, so nothing gets wasted.

I’ve never been one to shy away from a DIY flower project. And over the years, there have been many. From tutorials for small flower arrangements and a color blocked DIY bouquet to my go to list for beautiful flower arrangements every time. It’s amazing how cheerful a room can turn with a bouquet or two of flowers.

But flowers can also be expensive, so I wanted to show you how to take two of the most basic flowers, that can be found in nearly any grocery store, and turn them into something that looks straight from a florist.
