(tell me i’m right, mkay?)

Make Your Own Printable Word Art. I’m such a fan of Pinterest and find myself pinning my favorites quotes from time to time. I got to thinking how easy it really is to create your own free printable word art with free online editing software.

Not everyone has access to Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator, or the skills to use them proficiently like many talented graphic artists. I know the basics of Photoshop, and work with it from time to time to make inspiration boards, but most of the time, I turn to the free and very user friendly software programs provided by Picasa that I’ve mentioned in the past. Nope, I’m not getting paid to say, it, I just have been using these two for years and love what they can do! If you want to make your own free printable word art for your home in any color, style and font you love, it’s really easy if you follow a few simple steps. Download and Install Your Favorite Fonts. I’m a PC gal, so I I’m not the one to ask how to install fonts on a Mac (anyone have a link?) Download Picasa. 1. Voila! Fun happy things.

You can put away your rubber gloves and rest your weary arms. I have found a solution that is chemical-free, cuts scrubbing time in half and lets you keep your pan. Cheers! If you've ever experienced the pain of a burnt pan I bring good news! What You Need Materials 1 cup of vinegar 2 tablespoons of baking soda 1 cup of water (give or take depending on the size of your pan) A burnt stainless steel pan that was left empty and unattended on a heated hot plate. oops!.

Instructions 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Additional Notes: I'm almost ashamed to say, this is not my first time burning a frying pan (hopefully it is my last) and you can get them clean with just baking soda, water and a scourer if you're super committed. Make Your Own Birdie Fringe Purse. I love statement pieces, especially accessories! I created this pretty bird fringe purse because I wanted something special to wear this Autumn.

This pretty project only took me about two hours to create. I hope you enjoy it... This little birdie is my vintage inspiration. I thrifted him a couple years ago and he inspired me to make a larger bag with a similar shape. I added a few personal touches, of course, like 70s style fringe and lace. Here's how I made mine.... Step 1: Draft a quick pattern on paper for your bird shape. I made a strap with two long strips of leather, lots of punches and yarn. A few thoughts about working with leather: I have been working with leather (and faux leather) for many years. I hope you've enjoyed my little bird purse D.I.Y.
