No Sew Project

Back in July when I was visiting Wyoming for a month, Kristen and I did a whole lot of garage sale shopping! There was one particular house that was a huge score and I got a pair of shoes for $1 and tons of clothes for Aaran. I wasn't in love with the shoes, but they were a $1 and they fit.

So fast forward to Saturday afternoon and a bottle of this;

 

So here's the quick and dirty picture version!!!

  

  

  

And I love them! I am going to wear them to church, along with another handmade crafted item from Saturday. But I am going to make you wait in suspense and I will post pics tomorrow!! :D

Decoupage Out of Control!!!

I love making boring everyday things, unboring and un-everyday :) I am slowly transforming the things in my house to reflect that :) Here is my latest decoupage project;

I think I probably have Kristen to thank because she was the one who first introduced me to the wonderful bliss of Mod Podge in college! Then I found this site and the creative projects just took off!

I started by cleaning the whole cabinet and taking out the drawers. I also took off the handles, but unfortunately no amount of unscrewing and hand tools could get the lock out, so I just left it on :( The I measured and cut my fabric. After that easy breezy, paint down your decoupage and then lay your fabric over it. I also coated the outside with another layer of Mod Podge.

While I was at it I figured I would make a matching light switch cover too! :)

New craft boxes

So I went to Good Will the other day and I bought 5 boxes for $6.00 and I made a little project out of them. So far I have finished 3 boxes. I really like them. I used some of the point I bought in 8oz. jars from home depot (to figure out wall colors) and some paper that I bought a long time ago from Hobby Lobby and a little mod podge. Here are before and after pictures.
