Here are a few things I showed on TV!

Learn how to turn empty water bottles into flameless Tiki torches. They are perfect for any summer BBQ, Luau party or just for fun. These water bottle Tiki torches are very easy to create and I will show you how. I also have more fun Luau party decorations made from house-hold items. You can watch the video here.

As you probably have already realized, I love to create from reused items. Here I transformed water bottles into beautiful flowers. I created a video showing how I made my water bottle flowers. It is a fun and easy craft that everyone can fun doing!

Learn how to transform plain wine glasses into beautiful Volcano Wine Glasses. They are perfect for summer Luau parties or just as a conversation piece. These should not be placed in the dishwasher or submerged in water. To keep them beautiful, surface clean only. Click here to view my Luau Party Ideas video.

tiki faces

I always tell everyone to save your tissue boxes. These sturdy boxes that would normally be tossed into the recycle bin can be transformed into fun and unique party decorations. The tiki faces shown were created from my reused stash of tissue boxes, coffee sleeves and leftover acrylic paint. Click here to get directions!

Sun Decoration

Kick of the summer with a fun and festive Memorial Day Barbecue including great party decor like this colorful sun decoration. This sun design is so easy to create with just a few inexpensive materials.  I reused cardboard and different patterns of scrapbooking paper to create this happy face sun.  You can hang it on a wall, or attach it to a skewer and put in a planter.
