Hello all of you Craft Spot readers! I'm so excited to be with you today showing you a great way to decorate for all the seasons without breaking the bank. Before we get to that, let me introduce myself. I'm Kaysi from Keeping It Simple.

I'm a SAHM of three boys and love what I do. I love to do crafts, it's a way to express myself. I just love to create!

So today I'm going to show you a tutorial on how to make this:

For the vases:

This is how I made them:

1) I got 2 vases and 2 candle sticks

2) I decided to decorate the glass a little bit so I put rub-ons on the vases (these are different rub-ons, but same process)

3) Then using a Popsicle stick, I transferred the rub-ons onto the glass

4) I wanted more color, so I spray painted the candle sticks brown

5) Using an epoxy glue, I glued the two together. I let them dry with the books on them over night.

6) Using plastic eggs and Easter grass I filled the vase. I splattered painted the eggs with a brown for a little more texture and color. I didn't put rub-ons on the other side, so I can just turn it around and fill it with something else.

For the wood blocks:

1) I took wood of the same thickness and cut them into various sizes, sanded them and painted them white.

2) Using mod podge, I put the paper and letters on the wood

3) My husband drilled a hole in the in the top of three blocks

4) I glued an alligator clip onto the back of the wooden bugs

5) I put metal poles into the holes and clipped the bugs and flower to the pole. I didn't glue them in because I need to be able to rotate them and use them for my other blocks

And just like that I have a decoration that I can keep for three months :)

And on the other side says summer, so I can just turn it around when June comes and add a little wooden watermelon, flip flops or other summery things.

So for six months, I don't have to do a thing except fill the vases and clip on a watermelon, that's my kind of decor :)
