Dare to DIY 2014

I've decided to participate in the Dare to DIY series this year. I did this series a few years ago and had a blast coming up with creative projects...

Here are my projects from two years ago...

I loved going back and seeing these projects again!

Dare to be Thankful

Dare to Entertain

Dare to give Handmade

Dare to Deck the Halls

 

The main organizers are:

Newly Woodwards

Katja at Shift Ctrl Art

Michelle at Decor and the Dog.

Rachel at Maybe Matilda.

 

Here’s the plan:

Each Monday, the link party goes live for that week’s Dare to DIY challenge. You can link up as many projects as you wish, as long as the posts correspond with the theme of the week. You can link up on any of the four blogs listed above.

The linky will stay live through Wednesday. Later in the week, each of the organizers will spotlight at least 3 projects we loved from the week on their blogs. They will also pin those projects on a shared Pinterest board and even share them on Instagram (with the hashtag #daretodiy2o14)

The only rules:

1. Please follow the Dare to DIY theme of the week (see below).

2. Please link back to Dare to DIY on the host’s blog..

3. Please go to at least two other blogs and comment. This is a party. So get to know a few other bloggers.

And here are the themes – starting next week. Dare to do it, baby. Dare to do it.
