Letter Photo Art for Christmas! Hey everyone! To keep up with all of our Christmas posts make sure to FOLLOW us on Instagram! I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! We did for sure! I am always trying to think of thrifty, unique and thoughtful gifts to make my family and friends each year. Today I am showing you the sign I made my for niece Londyn. I found a GREAT flickr photo site on Pinterest. I bought 6 4×6 frames at the Dollar Tree for a buck a piece. I removed all the plastic and glass from the frames like this… I gave them all a coat of my very favorite… Rust-Oleum Painter’s Touch You can get it at Home Depot. I used Heirloom White for the frames… Here they are drying… While those were drying, I started on my wood. I used a 2×10 for my sign. I paid $4.50 for an 8ft board and made 2 signs from it. I cut a 36″ piece and painted it Sweet Pea.
While that was drying I finished up my frames. Then, I added a bit of hot glue to the corners of each frame and attached them to my new pink board. The result… What do you think? ~Whitney.

I took last week off from blogging because I was visiting my dad in St. Louis. We had a great time catching up, visiting museums, riding to the top of the Arch and seeing the Bruins beat the Blues! When I got home this weekend, I had some free time and decided to put my leftover glasses from the chalkboard wine glass project and my new Martha Stewart glitter set to good use by making these pretty glitter wine glasses.

Browse > Home / DIY / DIY- Glass Bottle Cutting February 21, 2009 by James Filed under DIY Our First DIY project is full of charm and fraught with danger! Well that may be overstating things a bit, but there was a *little* danger and a bit of anxiety. In the end, all was well. The idea with this project is to turn last night’s wine and beer bottles into tomorrow’s functional works of art, such as flower vases, candle holders, drinking glasses, chandeliers… Don’t believe these can be cool?
Check out Jerry Kott’s work. It all starts with a bottle cutter. The bottle cutter- to cut the bottles, of coursea candle- to heat the line which the cutter makes in the glasssand paper- to file down those dangerous edges after you cut the glasscarbide polishing powder- to smooth those edges even more so you don’t cut your lips if you’re making a glass (ouch!) Our first bottle was the scariest, with cries of “I think I cracked it!” Step 3: Rub an Ice Cube (not included with the kit There you have it! Wine Bottle Photo Holders. These are decoupaged wine bottles. I have made a variety of sizes and styles.
They are not only great for showing off your favorite photo but I love mine in the kitchen to hold my recipe. My inspiration came from a gift from my husband when we were dating. He made me a bottle about us, using words & phrases connected to our relationship. Instructions Choose a wine bottle (or I have even used glass beer bottles). Look through old magazines and cut pictures, words and/or sayings out that relate to your bottles theme. Next put a thin layer of Mod Podge (I use gloss, but there are many different kinds) onto your bottle. Work in small sections, so that the Mod Podge doesn't try before you get your magazine pictures on. Add your pictures and/or words covering the bottle as much as you would like. Once you have everything on your bottle, you will then put another thin layer of Mod Podge over top all of the pictures.
Let dry and then repeat step 6. MAGIC Decal Tutorial with Free Printables! Some of you may remember, a little while back I posted a tutorial for DIY waterslide decals. Among other things, I mentioned how awesome they are for creating custom embellishments without the need for any fancy-pants equipment. Yep, waterslide decal paper is a truly fab product, though as great as it is, there is one drawback – although it’s somewhat tough it’s not especially durable.
So, whilst it’s perfect for ornamental purposes, it’s not ideal for more practical applications…until now that is! Magic decal coating paper is a product designed to be used in conjunction with standard decal paper to make the finished transfers super durable – yes, even dishwasher resistant! If you’re already familiar with magic decal coating paper then please excuse my tardy excitement, though for everyone else who is just getting to the party now too, feel free to start throwing the streamers! 1 Image to transfer.
