Cozy Blanket Ladder

I absolutely hate when my blankets are left unfolded, hanging off the couch, or thrown on the floor! To solve this problem I came up with the perfect solution: A Blanket Ladder! I have been pretty proud of my past DIY builds, but for some reason this tops my list. With the help of my fiancé, I (we)built a ladder! Not just any ladder…but a rustic, decorative, hold my cozy blankets kind of ladder!

Off AGAIN to Home Depot we go....

two 2x4 @ 8 feet 

one 2x6 @ 8 feet.

Behr Dark Walnut wood stain

sixteen 3" screws

tape measure 

First you need to cut the two 2x4 @ 5 ft. long and cut four 2x6 @ 17 inches long.

Next, place the first 2x6 board 3” from top. Angle the 2x6 boards so that the front corner touches the front of the 2x4 and the back corner touches the back of the 2x4.  Securely fasten the wood to the 2x4 with 3-inch screws. Repeat by spacing the remaining three boards 12” apart from each other.

To give the ladder a rustic look, Apply two coats of Behr Dark Walnut Stain. TIP: Purchase a sample size for $2- SUPERSAVE!

Once the ladder is dry, add your cozy blankets to complete The Cozy Blanket Ladder!

Champagne Jell-O Shots

It's time to get a little jiggly with our Champagne. These fancy Jell-O Shots are perfect for New Year's Eve and add just a touch of bubbly to a classic treat!

Jell-O Shots are always a crowd pleaser with my family and friends. I am excited to ring in the New Year with Peach Vanilla Champagne Jell-O Shots. These Champagne Jell-O Shots are simply festive with a healthy dose of bubbly for a New Year's Party. This recipe is quite simple! Sometimes the simplest recipes are the best ones. Or wait, the ones with booze are the best ones...something like that. 

1 bottle champagne (3.5 Cups)

1/2 Cup Peach Schnapps

4 envelopes Knox Gelatine

1 Splash Vanilla Extract

4 Tablespoons sugar

1 star shaped cookie cutter

Pour 2 Cups Champagne into a medium sized sauce pan (no heat yet).

Sprinkle 4 envelopes Knox into sauce pan. Let sit for 2 minutes letting the gelatin activate. Turn on medium heat and whisk until gelatin dissolves

Add 4 Tablespoons sugar and a splash of vanilla extract. Let the sugar dissolve. Turn off heat when champagne reaches a low boil.

In a separate bowl, pour 1.5 Cups of remaining champagne and 1/2 Cup Peach Schnapps. Next, Add hot champagne into the same bowl. 

Pour mix into a greased 9" x 13" pan and Refrigerate. 

Slowly and carefully cut out stars with cookie cutter and remove. Refrigerate until serving!

New Years Eve Glitter Champagne Bottles

One of my New Year's  Goals is to start Blogging! What better way to start my first blog by sharing a DIY project that is just in time for New Years! Whether your hosting a New Year's Eve party or just going to a party, this DIY Glitter Champagne Bottle is a perfect way to put a little glitz and sparkle into the fun! After all who doesn't love a little sparkle and champagne?

To make this Glitter Champagne Bottle you will need:

Gold Glitter

Mod Podge

Finishing Gloss Spray

Small Paint Brush

A large Champagne Bottle

* Mini Champagne Bottles- optional but are SUPER CUTE

Brush Mod Podge onto the bottle and simply sprinkle on the glitter overtop. Continue until you have covered the entire bottle, framing around the labels.

Let the bottle dry completely and then spray a thin coat of finishing spray on the entire bottle. Make sure NOT to over spray your bottle- too much will take away its sparkle.

Taaa Daaa! 3-2-1... Happy New Year!
