Have you all seen the rise in the popularity of grazing boards and charcuterie boards over the last few months? I made a giant one for my Christmas craft party during the holidays and I have to tell you, it was the best meal ever! Everyone loved snacking off of it and I really loved creating the smorgasbord of yumminess. Lately they seem to be all over Pinterest and Instagram for every holiday

By this time, I feel like I might sound like a broken record with how much I talk about projects I have made with my Glowforge laser cutter. As someone who loves to make things and design products, it’s like the machine of my dreams

Today I wanted to share this DIY half circle pendant light that I made from laser cut MDF wood. After laser cutting the wood and adding paint and a little wood glue, I had a charming new plug in bedside pendant light. Once you have your pieces cut, use the wood glue to attach the half circles to each other lining up the flat edge of each piece. Once dry, glue the rainbows to the rectangle pieces and use books or another heavy item to keep the half circle pieces in place until the glue dries.

The post DIY giant Easter egg wall art is sponsored by JOANN. Thank you so much for supporting the brands that keep the lights on and the crafts coming! Have I told you lately how much I love large scale holiday decorations? There is something about the large scale that seems almost like you are in a festive retail display, which I happen to love! Please tell me I’m not the only one obsessed with the seasonal displays hanging above the aisles at JOANN? With Easter approaching, I wanted to go large scale with my Easter egg decorations
