Spring in the south is one of the main reasons I moved to Georgia. The first bloom paves the way to such beauty all the way through summer. The birds come out of hiding and start chirping away, it’s so peaceful to sit outside and take a listen! So we thought it was only appropriate to share our DIY Bird Wings, made by our very own, intern/teacher, Mary Catherine!
Hopefully you saved your egg cartons from last weeks Easter egg crafts!! At Treehouse, we use egg cartons a lot for paint cups. However, there are so many other ways to reuse egg cartons, we thought we would pick a few that would be fun and are spring inspired!

We just cannot get enough of Art Bar Blog! These Egg Carton Chimes are so easy to make and they can be for inside or out! I love the mixture of beads and bells as well the vibrant colors. Remember to make them your own, so if you don’t have beads or bells, you can use cotton balls and transform them into a garland!
I can’t believe it’s already March…this year is already flying by!! With much of Athens students out for spring break next week, everyone will have a lot of time for crafting…especially with St. Patrick’s Day right around the corner!
St. Patrick’s Day is one of my favorite holidays…not only is green my favorite color, but (in the words of Anne at Flax & Twine) anything that gives you luck or the promise of a really good day seems a beautiful thing to me! Check out below a few St. Patrick’s Day craft ideas, surely to bring you luck!
Speaking of Flax & Twine…This gold leather four leaf clover garland is an easy yet stylish decoration, appropriate for any room of the house!
Our front store display has been a hit this winter…thanks to Mary Catherine, our talented intern and teacher! With the hopes and dreams of waking this morning to a snowy wonderland only to wake up to nothing, and with most of Athens students out of school today, we thought that we would help y’all make a winter wonderland of your own!
The display was inspired by a post from Style Me Pretty (see the original post here). With their version, they made their own cups out of wax paper, however we had a bunch of snow cone cups laying around the shop, so we used them instead!
The weather this week has been pretty crazy…yet somewhat magical! with the temps just above freezing, if not just below, all I want to do is stay inside and cook (well mostly eat)! We’ve been getting in some great books about food, and i wanted to share a few of our favorites. I know all of them will surely cure the winter blues!
In more than 40 exuberant poems and “vandalized” photographs, you’ll meet a city kid who fantasizes about farming on a stoop, a girl with crumpets and crêpes in her head, and a boy with a pet cabbage!
Classes this past week have been filled with love, hearts, and of course glitter! We are still finding the Valentine’s hidden throughout the store, thanks to the Craft Inc class!
With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, we wanted to share with you a few last minute crafts to make V-Day that much more special!
Say I love you over and over, by making this sweet Valentine’s Day Kaleidoscope (Handmade Charlotte)
What better way to get in the autumn mood than with one of our favorite, easy, outdoor crafts! With fall on the way, we were reminded of a craft we did for our friends over at Blabla a few years ago, and we’re still as in love with it as ever.
Magnolia leaves make for the perfect canvas for this craft. We’ve found that acrylic paint seems to work the best, and with some touches of gold leaf and glitter, you’ll soon have some lovely, modern results that will stick around for years to come.
Looking for something crafty to make with your little one during these last few weeks of summer? This DIY necklace is easy and your little one can wear it back to school!
