Banana Butterfinger Bundt Cake from Inside BruCrew Life:

As I was going through my inbox, I found this recipe from February of 2016! Definitely time to get it pinned, and share. I love banana recipes – I even have a pin board dedicated to it, Food: My Love for Banana. When I read Banana + Butterfinger, what?! Yes! And the recipe looks super easy. Definitely want to try this one!

Olm Earrings (Free Jewelry DIY) from Moois Van M(i)e:

These earth tones always speak to me. Something about the beautiful combination of blues and greens. These large metals leaf charms are really speaking to me too! I remember picking some up from JoAnn’s years ago that were brass. I wonder if I could paint them with nail polish to get this sort of enameled look?

Boho Flower Wall Hanging from Egg Cartons (Free DIY with Photo Tutorial) from Craftaholics Anonymous:

This is one of the coolest things! Egg cartons cut up and painted to look like flowers! My egg cartons are styrofoam, but I have this pinned for the moment I come across the kind this DIY uses. Seems a little time consuming, but really a fun project, and pretty outcome. Imagine on a larger scale – a photo backdrop?

Spring Bunnies (Free Crochet Pattern) from All About Ami:

Three versions of the same basic pattern – endless possibilities! I love the sweet little fabric ears! These are perfect for decorating around the house, or gifting.

Floral Embroidered Shoes (DIY with Free Embroidery Template) from Flamingo Toes:

Beverly of Flamingo Toes shares such fun shoe upcycles! This is a simple pair of tennis shoes paired with some hand stitched flowers to completely change them up! Free template for the flowers is included (thank you, Beverly!). Transfer the pattern to any canvas tennis shoes (or tote bag, or hat, or piece of fabric – imagine on a pocket, or around an arm band/on cuffs) of your choosing, and get to stitching!
