Re_Vinyl clocks by Pavel Sidorenko & Yanko Design. Vinyl Record Clocks of Many Shapes Now, before I begin explaining what’s going on here, I’ve got to say that this ISN’T the first time I’ve seen someone apply the clock idea to a vinyl record. But- but! This is the first time I’ve seen someone do it so masterfully. These clocks are laser-cut to shapes that are fantabulous, wild, and weird. There’s a gun, a bird, a coffee pot, whatever you desire. In addition to the enticing nature these clocks already present, let me throw another tasty carrot into your soup: perfect uniqueness. Take a peek! *”plate” is another word for “record”, this comes from the idea that the record resembles a plate that you’d put your food on and eat off of. Designer: Pavel Sidorenko.

DIY - Plaster Casting Leaves Tutorial. So, while perusing the web looking for crafty ideas, I came across several versions of leaves cast in concrete. Absolutely beautiful. But after checking out the cost of supplies at the Home Depot, I decided that maybe I could scale mine down a bit.
I already had plenty of Plaster of Paris, so I decided to try my own version of plaster casted leaves. For this project I used: Plaster of Paris Plastic (to protect my work surface) Newspaper Hemp cording or string I began by covering my table in plastic. Roll up more pieces of newspaper and put under the edges of the leaves in several places to create nice waves in the leaf.
Mix the Plaster of Paris with water in a plastic cup. Now at this point, if you are smart, you will add a hanger of some sort into the plaster before it dries. Now allow the leaf to dry for at least an hour. Now, flip your mold over and peel off the leaf. If you are messy like I am, you may have to do some trimming on the edges. Like this: Like Loading...

So, I make these letters and I think they're rad and I thought maybe other people would want to make some.
It's a pretty darn cheap project and they look really great when they're done. Here's what you need: Unpainted wooden letters (I got mine from Hobby Lobby and they're the biggest size and $2 per letter)1 piece of scrapbook paper per letter (I picked black/pink argyle and black pin stripes. See how big the letters are? Ok, now that you've got what you need, here's how: Place your first letter face down on the back of the scrapbook paper and trace around.
Now, put the paper aside and get your paint and one of your brushes and paint all around the edges of each letter. While you wait for your paint to dry, cut out all your letters. Also, check the sides for drips and wipe them off. Cool.. Art, Design, DIY Home Decor - Tip Junkie Homemade.

Upcycling Project Featuring Martha Stewart Paints by Plaid Crafts. Wow! What a week! This weekend I got my Martha Stewart Paints by Plaid (available exclusively at Michael’s, by the way) and I got to business testing them out. By now, I hope you’ve read my overview of the Martha Stewart Paints as well as the review of tools and accessories that I received. Now it’s time for the fun part- making something!
I can’t tell you how I agonized over which to make- some fun witch shoes for Halloween or to upcycle a wooden chest. So how about today I share the chest, and we’ll do the shoes in a week or so, OK? So I started off with this worse-for-the-wear wooden chest. Next was to give the outside of the cabinet a nice base coat of paint, and for this I decided to use the Spray Paint kit. The cabinet was unprimed, so the paint sunk in quite a bit and two took coats. Then I pulled out my Satin and High Gloss Paints, stencil brushes, foam pouncers, and stencils and set about decorating. Then I got to stenciling the top. There it is! About the Author About Jenny. Family Handprint Trees | Fun Family Crafts. Initial Thoughts - Fresh Monograms for Home.

How To Mix Chalkboard Paint in Any Color. We love using chalkboards as backdrops for displays and parties (like this one here!). So we were super excited to learn that you can create your own custom colors-and it's really easy! We first learned how from Martha Stewart whose tutorial you can read here. She recommends that you use latex paint, but we tried it out with acrylic paints with much success. Here's how you too can create your own chalkboard paint... Supplies: 1/2 cup acrylic paint (choose any color you like, or mix colors together to make the perfect shade!)

Melted Crayon Art Tutorial: LOVE Letter Tiles. I've never really been big on decorating for holidays, other than Christmas. We've always lived in such small spaces that I didn't want the extra clutter. I had every intention of leaving our Silent Night painting up until we move sometime around April...but then inspiration struck. The Nativity painting came down and these went up. I stumbled across this graphic on Remodelholic... ...and I thought...wouldn't that look great with melted crayon dots instead of sprinkles?!? (A little less messy too.) And I LOVE how it turned out. I'd planned on doing the whole word LOVE on a piece of wood or something, but when I went hunting around in the garage for something that would work, I found 4 tiles I'd bought over a year ago to make some trivets...and I think they turned out to work perfectly.
I'd also originally thought to use all red/pink/white, but then decided to use a mix of colors so it could be used more of the year. Here's what I did... You'll need to start out gathering your supplies. Create a Mosaic Wall Art Installation Pottery Barn Knock-Off.
