Hang paper to dry, marbleized side up. Do not touch the paper until it is dry (typically within 2 hours, depending on humidity levels). Decide whether to keep or discard your solution (it can be used several times). To change paint colors, lay strips of newsprint across the solution's surface, then remove; repeat with clean strips until the solution is clear. You can store the solution in an airtight jar for about a week. Picture Frame Calendar. Happy Monday evening!

Picture Frame Calendar

Hope you had a wonderful weekend. My family is finally healthy after coming down with a stomach bug one after the other – I was the only lucky one who didn’t get it (knock-on-wood….). My niece turned 12 over the weekend, and I made her this fun dry-erase calendar out of a picture frame. I love how it turned out, and so did she! I painted a wood picture frame that was sitting around my house waiting for a purpose. I covered the cardboard picture frame back with white easel paper. When it was finished, I just popped it into the frame and tied on a pack of dry erase markers (clickable – no lids!)

Tutorial: Lace Hearts

A quiet little post for you today. You may have noticed the gift ornament in this earlier post. Here's how I made it. Tutorial: Lace Hearts You will need some lace, a heart shaped cookie cutter, Mod Podge, a paint brush, a needle and thread, and a pair of scissors. Use a paint brush to spread a good layer of Mod Podge on the outer side of your cookie cutter. Cover the mod-podged cookie cutter with lace as follows. Slather on a few more coats of Mod Podge.

And that, as they say, was that! Note: I think fabric stiffener would be a good alternative to Mod Podge to stiffen the lace and make these hearts. Have yourself a heart-shaped Monday, and I will see you again soon! Project doily: star decorations « the happy home. Tutorial: How to Make a Pomander Flower Ball.
