Wall Art- Spray Painted Sticker Letters on Canvas … This is one of those projects that the end result was not what I had set out to do.
I love projects like this, when veering off the path and trying something crazy, actually produces something pretty cool.

I stumbled across spray painting various sticker letters to a canvas in my failed attempt (short cut) to make subway art.
This project is as easy as it looks and the possibilities are endless. There are a few things that I did to make sure that the stickers basically became permanent on the canvas. I used two coats of primer that I allowed to completely dry in between each coat. For the large foam letters made by EVA that I used for the monogram canvasses, I first hot glued the letters to the canvas since it does not have adhesive. Cheers! Coisinhas*Outras.

If you’re on board for making your own, here’s what you’ll need: Step 1: Prep your fabric. Step 2: Creating the petals. Step 3: Dress up the middle of your flower. Spring Fling Button Garland.

How to make gift bags from newspaper. When I bought something at a store recently, the clerk handed me my purchase in a bag made from a newspaper.
I liked it very much and had to make some more—thus today's DIY recycled newspaper project: gift bags made from the Wall Street Journal. You can vary the dimensions, of course, but here's what I used to create a bag that's 5" tall, 4.5" wide, and 3" deep. Stack two sheets of newspaper on top of each other.
This will be a two-ply bag for extra sturdiness. Cut out a rectangle that's 15.5" wide and 8.25" tall. Fold a flap 1.25" down from the top. Cut two pieces of cardstock or chipboard to 4.25" x 1", then glue them on the widest two panels just under the top fold. Put glue on the outside of the 0.5" tab and bring the left-most panel over to form the body of the bag, aligning the cut edge of the panel with the folded edge of the flap.
