She made the coasters out of tile and vintage Washington, D.C. postcards. They are so sturdy & beautiful - I love using them in our family room.
I thought it would be fun to make something similar, but using maps! I picked up this D.C. map while I was out running errands. When I got home, I found my husband's stash of maps in his desk - SCORE! I would love to get my hands on some vintage maps for future coasters! Other supplies: xacto knife ruler 4 x 4 tiles (I got mine at Home Depot!) Modge Podge (Paper) sheets of cork adhesive spray First, I chose the section of the map that I wanted to cover the coasters. I laid out my four coasters in a square and traced (with a pencil) the outline of my square & I cut that out. Here are the four map pieces, ready to Modge Podge...see, they make a matching set!

After posting all of those wonderful DIY stamp ideas, I had to try a few of my own. These stamps are really a combination of a few of the others, but are closest to this herringbone stamp from A Beautiful Mess.

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. What you need: Canvas (however many you are using, I used 8x10's) White tissue paper (I only needed one regular sized sheet for four pictures) Printer *with ink* :) Regular printer paper Scissors Tape Mod-Podge Brush Step1: Take a piece of printer paper.

Creative Paradise, Inc. | Ceramic Molds, Glass Molds and Handbuilding | Holey Pendants. It's a Cinch Bag. If you've been following since way back in June (pretty much the beginning of my blogging days), you may remember this post. If you read it then you see that this bag was completely inspired by Dana's bag over at MADE. I fell in love with it, and did my best to come up with my own version. Somehow this bag became my most requested tutorial.
I always told anyone who asked, that I didn't feel comfortable writing up a tutorial for a bag that wasn't my own inspiration. But I'm one of those people that has a hard time saying no. I really do love this bag. *Notes* This tutorial is broken into two parts. Assume 1/4" seam allowances. Fabric- I would recommend using an upholstery weight fabric for at least the straps of this bag. Materials: 2/3 yard of the main, outer fabric (gray linen in my case) 1 2/3 yard of the contrasting fabric (black upholstery fabric) Smaller Zipper(s) for interior pockets (optional) One 24" Zipper Tutorial: Cut fabric as shown below: Casing/Outer Bag Construction: Straps: African Babies Don't Cry: TUTORIAL : How to Make Rainbow Coloured Rice (Without Alcohol) for a Toddler Activity Sensory Bin. I previously mentioned that I have been longing to make Jesse coloured rice to play with after seeing so many pretty pictures of it on Pinterest.
I looked up a couple of recipe's and noticed they all used rubbing alcohol (surgical spirits) as the liquid to spread the colour over the rice. I don't really like the idea of my child playing with something covered in alcohol, besides the fact that it stinks, so I made up my own recipe, with great success! I used vinegar instead, and my colours came out just as, if not more vibrant. Here is the recipe for my (almost natural) recipe for making rainbow coloured rice. I say almost natural as I used food colourants instead of natural dyes. I wanted vibrant colours and food colouring delivered. Now, while I don't allow my child to consume this poison, I figured that since the colouring has dried on the rice, and it does not come off the rice while playing in it, it is virtually safe.
Now for the how-to... First, gather your supplies: Glass jars turned vintage. Lately I've been intrigued by those lovely vintage blue glass jars you see on the tables of chic outdoor weddings. I did a little bit of research on these, to see how economical they were in bulk, and found that they can range anywhere from $5-$15 per jar, depending on how rare they are. I was a bit surprised by this, and thought there had to be a better way to achieve the same look, so I went in search of a way to "dye" a regular quart sized jar, to mimic the look of the old Ball Perfect Mason Jars. Here's my photo recap: I used a product called Vitrea 160, which is a transparent color for glass, in a shade called turquoise. I also purchased some thinner from the same product line, so I could get a really faint look.
After scooping out a small amount of the turquoise color (a dot about the size of the nail on my pinky finger) into a plastic tupperware container, I dipped my fan brush into the thinner bottle and then mixed that into the blue.
