Crafts for Home. Cards & Paper Crafts. Gift Wrap. Christmas Ideas. Dyed Buttons | Rit Dye. Dyeing buttons and beads is fun and easy to do, enabling you to get the exact color you want whether using the buttons and beads on a coat, a pillow cover or in a necklace. They also look beautiful in a vase as part of a flower arrangement, helping the flowers to stand tall. Most buttons and beads are made out of nylon and Rit is one of the few dyes that will color these materials (it also dyes wood buttons!). That means you can transform plain buttons and beads into colorful accents that match or coordinate with whatever you are making.

PAPER Magazine. Easy Stamped Coasters. I’m trying to simplify my life in a lot of ways. One of those ways is using things I already have on hand instead of buying new things. I’ve had these coasters for years but they were a little too plain for my taste. It was time I added a little pizazz to them. This project took me under 10 minutes, which is a good thing since that’s all the time I had today. Here are the flower coasters. And the tree coasters. I’m pleased with how they turned out and that they have a bit of pizazz now. Do you want to check out more ideas for coasters?

Spring Scrapbook Paper Tree. Hello fellow crafters! Tristin and I were invited to be today's featured guest blogger over at Everyday Mom Ideas! We were thrilled with this wonderful opportunity, and wanted to share with the readers over there one of our trees from the collection we're currently doing.
This second tree is very similar to the first one. I'm sorry! (Since this is a guest post on a different blog, and the concept is similar to the first tree.. Thanks, Julia, for having us on your blog! Make Water Balloon Candle Holders | Dollar Store Crafts. Home » $5 and Under, cheap crafts, Decor, Headline, High Concept, Weddings 11 February 2009 364,642 views 50 Comments by heather Candletech has instructions for the coolest candle-making project I have EVER seen! Using balloons filled with lukewarm water, you can make these amazing candle luminaries by dipping balloons in wax. I love the organic shape of the luminaries, and this project looks so fun! They are so elegant, and nobody would ever guess you used dollar store materials for this project! These would be great table decorations for a wedding or other formal occasion, or just pretty to scatter around your home.
The comments section of the tutorial also provides a lot of valuable insight for making this project. Other commenters suggested adhering something to the outside of the wax to add additional interest (although I just LOVE them as they are!) The project recommends high-melt paraffin wax to avoid the melting issue when used with tea lights. Project Estimate: Total cost: $3. Suzys Artsy Craftsy Sitcom: Feature Friday- Faux Metal Wall Art.

Signing you up! If you enjoyed this post... Crackle finish with Elmer's Glue. Thanks to Dollar Store Crafts for featuring this post!
For years whenever I wanted a cool crackled effect on my painted projects I used the very expensive (to me) crackle medium and even bought some paints that were supposed to crack on their own. Because of the cost I did not do anything large and I was sparing in what I did do. Well, thanks to this cheap alternative, I can go a bit crazy and experiment because I found out how to get the crackle effect with Elmer's Glue! It's alot less expensive than any size bottle of crackle medium and just before school it's downright CHEAP.
I've been doing this for awhile but if you go to the Elmer's faq site, you can see the instructions towards the bottom of the page. Four sentences of instructions. Four sentences! On their page Elmer's used wood glue. So this tutorial, as requested, will have lots of pictures and step by steps so you can see what to expect.
