![]() I love the look of the watercolor projects in the Let’s Make Art watercolor subscription.Įach box comes with instructions and supplies to make 4 really beautiful watercolor projects. I’m still working on my own list, but these are a few things I know I would love to see on Christmas morning! Watercolor Subscription BoxĮven though I love the look of watercolors, I’ve never really experimented much with real watercolor painting. It’s my go-to paintbrush for pretty much everything from furniture to trim to cutting in around walls. It makes getting clean edges without painter’s tape much easier, it gives a really smooth finish, and the small size is really easy to control. It isn’t the most expensive or the fanciest paintbrush, but in my opinion, it’s the best all-around. It’s been a great way to have some ‘me’ time even when I’m still stuck at home with the rest of my family!Īfter testing out quite a few paintbrushes over the years, the Purdy 1.5″ angle brush continues to be my very favorite paintbrush. I like to wear one at a time so I can listen to a podcast or audiobook while I clean up around the house or work on projects but can still hear my kids if they need me. They pair easily with new devices, hold their charge for a long time, and are comfortable in my ears. They’re an amazing deal and they have over 20,000 positive reviews. I got this set from Amazon and they have been amazing. Last year I got a set of wireless headphones in my stocking and they have been a real lifesaver this year. (I’ve got a whole tutorial on creating gorgeous DIY signs here if you want more info.) Wireless headphones It’s a super easy way to get absolutely perfect lettering that looks just like a hand-painted sign. They come in water-based or oil-based versions and the oil-based type is perfect for making DIY signs because they write smoothly over raw wood, painted wood, and even stained wood.Įven the white paint marker paints evenly over dark stained wood. I haven’t had any of those issues with Sharpie paint markers. They dry out within the first few minutes of use or the paint doesn’t flow smoothly or they only work on very limited types of surfaces. I have used a lot of different paint markers over the years and honestly, about half the ones I’ve tried are pure junk. Sharpie paint markers are the absolute best for making DIY signs and other decor. In fact I just might use my mini screwdrivers more than my regular set! I use our mini screwdrivers all the time for opening the battery compartments in electronic toys, unscrewing new toys from their packaging, adjusting those tiny screws on towel bars, fixing sunglasses, and a hundred other things. Forget toys they will never play with, this is what parents really need! In fact, I think a mini screwdriver set is the perfect gift for new babies. I think this is a must for any household, but especially one that has kids. You can pop them into all kinds of containers and they look amazing. I’ve also gotten some really great faux plants from IKEA and from stores like Marshalls. You wouldn’t know it wasn’t real unless you were doing a crazy in-depth examination. My newest plant friend is this medium fiddle leaf fig from Amazon and it looks amazing up close. So instead I have bought many faux plants. I love how green plants really help bring a room to life – I just can’t seem to keep the real ones alive. I consider myself quite the conesieur of artificial plants.
