Once you have your two rectangles, divide the piece lengthwise into quarters and cut three-inch slits down from the top. Then cut those pieces into half-football shapes. Now, take one piece and sew the adjacent footballs together.

Now we're going to make the brim. Cut two pieces to match your brim, but leave about 3/8 inch extra on the inside of the brim. Put the wrong sides together and sew the outer edge. Homemade Mod Podge – Super Simple DIY. Edited: As some have missed the notation at the bottom of the post, I want to point out that at no time in this post am I stating that this alternative is equivalent to Mod Podge.

Homemade Mod Podge – Super Simple DIY

Mod Podge is a great product and I highly recommend it; however, this is an excellent alternative option for craft projects. If you are working on a project that you hope to maintain over a long period of time or one that requires special care, you should absolutely be using proper archival resources. To avoid confusion for future readers, I’ve also swapped out ‘Mod Podge’ in some places in exchange for ‘Deco Podge Adhesive’ to avoid confusion with the actual product name.

Thanks! There probably isn’t a crafter/DIY’er alive that doesn’t use the famous Mod Podge for one thing or another.

Super Simple Homemade Air Freshener

Here's how: Use a hammer and and a nail to poke holes in the lid of a small canning jar. (The heart is a nice touch, but clearly not necessary) Fill the jar about 1/4 full with baking soda Add 6-8 drops of lavender essential oil Put lid on and place in any spot that could use some freshening. I've made several, and I use them in my linen closet, under my kitchen sink (which is where the stinky garbage can is) and in the bathroom. This powder is also useful for removing odours from carpets and upholstery. You could, of course, substitute your favorite essential oil for the lavender. NOTE: As with any cleaning product (even the reasonably safe and friendly ones), keep out of reach of children and pets.

DIY: Recycled T-Shirt Tote Bag. Super Cute (and thrifty!) Menu Planner. As a professional teacher on an indefinite motherhood sabbatical, I live by sticky notes.

Super Cute (and thrifty!) Menu Planner

If I am being honest with myself, it’s more of an addiction. A cheery yellow sticky note posted on my fridge makes that to-do list seem actually conquerable. A blaring orange sticky note attached to that left-over cheesecake in said fridge with the caveat “Carrots are MUCH better for you!” Is sometimes just the encouragement I need. Needless to say, I have sticky notes posted everywhere. I love sitting down on Sunday night to make a weekly meal plan, that of course gets posted on a soothing blue sticky note and adhered to my wall, often crumpled or torn.
