This is a lazy junk creation. I don’t just mean lazy in the sense that I didn’t have to use glue or scissors, but I was too lazy to get up and play with my cat.
So, there I was in my red recliner with a J Jill catalog I didn’t want. And there was […]
Forgive me. I like the lighting on my balcony, and I wanted you to see my petunias!
Things I learned: It’s better to be patient and get thicker cork board instead of settling with what’s available on your first trip to the craft store. And Elmer’s Stix All Gel Cement doesn’t come out of the tube […]
Things I learned:
Fortunes from cookies aren’t so great for decoupage as the ink runs.
However, thinner paper is much easier to work with.
Cat hair finds its way onto anything I try to paint, especially if it’s white.
Things I used:
Tags: Dana Thomas house, decoupage planter, decoupage vacation, make your own planter, Portland Classical Garden, Powell and […]
After rinsing a used ketchup bottle, I decided it had a different destination than the recycling bin.
Cats love a puzzle. And better yet, I didn’t have to spend anything to make this toy. I already had the toy mouse to go inside.
This is a very easy reuse project, plus if you save the bottle cap, […]
Earlier today, I unloaded my fun Tea Tag Confetti post. You thought it was fun, right?
Here’s a project that requires a little glue, but it’s lovely for a tea sipper.
Simple directions for Tea Tag Bookmark:
-After selecting your favorite tags, arrange in pattern. I used six tags.
-Apply small amounts of glue to bottom tips of tags […]
The magazine I chose to cut up (in places) was the August 1953 Show magazine, which sold originally for .10 cents. I made more tags than I’m showing here, but the lighting at my place is just weird. Most of the photos were blurry. Too bad, but you get the idea. In case you missed […]
I’m sure this idea may exist somewhere in a book, but my love for old magazines inspired me to make my own vintage gift tags. Most of the materials for making these are reused, with the exception of glue and maybe whatever you use to tie. Think of it as saving trees with your […]
Yesterday I unveiled the baked orange cup recipe. Now, here are the many uses of a baked orange cup. Don’t forget to check back tomorrow for what I did with the other larger half of the baked orange.
1. Fragrance for drawer or linen closet (Add small amount of essential oil.)
2. Display for your smashed tourist […]
I’m in love with my accidental junk creation.
Later, I’ll tell you about the project I intended. That one worked out too, but I got a bonus — a very lovely deep orange color cup, scoop, what-have-you, multi-tasking genius of a piece of fruit.
To avoid info overload, I’m going to tell you how to make […]
