In partnership with

I’ve been loving this month’s Make Something Temporary prompt—and this week’s creation? A tiny little house, complete with a tree… and if you look closely, an adorable owl charm tucked into the branches. The whole scene came together with supplies from Remnants and a few bits I had laying around—proving once again that even scraps can tell a sweet little story.

Want to join in on the fun? Create your own fleeting masterpiece and share a photo in our Project Show & Tell space—we’d love to see what you come up with!

Oh—and one more fun thing: we’re giving away 150 men’s ties for upcycling! Want in? I’ll tell you how to throw your name in the ring a little further down.

Let’s get into it →

🌬️ Project Inspiration: Fan Makeovers for Summer

As the weather heats up, why not give your box or ceiling fan a little love? Fan makeovers are the perfect summer project—simple, satisfying, and surprisingly impactful.

Make it chic…

Floral embellishments, hand-painted patterns, or layered textures that turn a functional object into a statement piece. Whether your style leans bold or minimal, there’s room to get creative with even the humblest of fans.

Make it wow…

Get more playful—paint the blades with rainbow gradients that come to life when the fan spins, creating a burst of color in motion.

Or keep it basic with a simple clean and a single-color.

A good deep clean and a fresh coat of paint to make an old fan look new again.

Need ideas? We rounded up some of our favorite fan transformations on this Pinterest board. Let your creativity spin.
