My stache

on Pinterest I saw this cute jar, had to make! I got the jar from walmart and just put the vinyl on it. Easy as pie!

valentines 2012

Yes, I'm in Love with Pinterest! I saw some cute little mailboxes on there and tweeked it for my kids. I used the cheap glass candelholders and spray painted them black then added their names in vinyl. I used the E6000 glue, it works best for glass and metal. They loved having their own special treat that day!

Armoire turned craft closet?

I've been seeing all over Pinterest these cute armories turned into craft stations. I searched craigslist last summer found one that foot the bill, and put it in the garage. Did nothing with it till my husband was threatening to throw it out. So I got some Sander deglosser rubbed it all over then painted a primer, then painted some left over paint from the inside of my house, added some glaze and then sealed it all. I got some new feet from Lowe's, I didn't like the ones that were already on there. I put the same hardware back on, maybe some day I'll add some glass knobs. Now I just need to organize all my crap and put it into it. Just glad it will be behind closed doors someday soon.

Name board

My boss at work is having a baby, it was the oddest thing I was sitting in the temple and invisioned this creation for her. So I had to make it! I took a cabinet door spray painted it black, made some flowers with fabric scraps and scrapbook brads, hot glued them on, then added vinyl letters for the name and stapled with staple gun ribbon on the back to make a bow to hang it from. She was truely impressed and now I have orders from the other pregnant people at work to make them one. Oh dear.

Christmas treats

On pinterest I saw a cute reindeer cake pop. And made some Oreo truffles to pass out to neighbors. The truffles were only 3 ingredients: 1 bag reg. oreos crushed and mixed with 1 (8oz) bar of cream cheese, then rolled into balls and dipped in Almond bark melted chocolate. I must have been extra good this year because Santa (aka husband) made me a cake pop stand for Christmas!

spiral scarfs

This year for Christmas gifts I made some spiral (circle) scarfs, it was pretty easy. I found a demo here and decided to change it and use lighter material, I couldn't figure out how to not let it fray a little but otherwise I think they look great.

Ring toss

This year for my church's Halloween Carnival I made a Ring Toss I saw here. Couldn't find the paint Martha suggested to use in Orange so after a few misses used Home Depot's Color Sample paint tinted to orange. It didn't peal off the glass I think because it had primer in it. I thought it would be a good game for the little kids but turns out the older kids had a hard time with it too...bonus! I used the glow in the dark necklaces for the rings, gave a nice effect at night.
