Faux stained glass containers. At one point in my life I got ahold of some cool glass jars with fitted lids: I liked them but not plain – I wanted to spice them up a bit. So what is a Mod Podger to do? Well, of course, add tissue paper. I love tissue paper on glass because with the light, it gives a bit of a faux stained glass look. As you can see from my first pictures. All I used was tissue paper, a Sizzix machine with a circle die and Mod Podge.
The Sizzix is nice just because it cuts out a lot of tissue paper at once. Once you have the circles, Mod Podge them down (very carefully so they don’t tear). Layering circles of different colors gives them a cool effect. Once you are done layering, apply a final coat and let both containers dry. It’s a beautiful effect when the light shines through! These updated containers are so colorful, and you can make them with any shades of paper and shapes that you like. I also made a faux stained glass house project for kids. Cool paper toy. [VIDEO]
Hand Stitching, part 1 - LA.

However, sometimes I adapt clipart type images to make a more complicated pattern, like the sewing machine or I just stitch the outline of an image I love, like the Goonies "Hey You Guys" silhouette :) I use a Back Stitch for all my hand stitching because it's very versatile and I like the look but you can use any combination of stitches for your projects... there's lots of fun ones! Today, we're going to start with handwriting & transferring your pattern :) You will Need: - Card-stock or Thick Paper (I cut a piece of 6x8" card-stock & folded it in half to create a greeting card) - Needle & Scissors - Embroidery Thread - Scrap Paper & Pen - Thumbtack or Piercing Tool.
