DIY ombre trash bin

I’m Shannon from Madigan Made and I’m so excited that Amy invited me to share my ombre DIY trash can with you today. But I guess every crafter generates a certain amount of trash as they create. It is unavoidable. What helps me corral my trail of scraps is to have a little garbage can next to me on my craft table. Mod Podge coasters from Martha Shmartha.

She loves sewing, and so we decided this would be the perfect gift for her since she has (now had) a lack of places to store her fabric and patterns. And how else to cover the box except with patterns? Don’t be too shocked, but I actually took photos of the process. Trust me, it was difficult to stop crafting and snap the camera!

Wall Art for Sienna's Room. First off, let me just say, I really love photos printed onto a canvas. Really. I knew I wanted a set of them in Sienna's room, but as most of you know, we are still students so our decorating budget didn't exactly cover printing four 8"x10" photos onto a canvas. It's pretty darn expensive for just one let alone FOUR!!! I had seen a few ideas online about getting pictures printed out, then just mod-podging the picture onto the canvas, and sanding the sides a bit, which I liked, but I still really wanted that "printed on canvas" texture on the picture itself.

Then, while looking around online one day, I found out that you can actually print from your computer onto tissue paper! Thus, my idea was born. MAGIC Decal Transfer Tutorial with Free Printables!
