Pop Can Key Chain. First of all, do you call it soda, or pop? I grew up in Oregon, and always called it pop. Now I live in New England, and have been forced to say soda, because if I say pop, no one knows what the heck I am talking about. My children got the best of both worlds I guess, and call it Soda Pop.

Ha. Anyways, I originally saw this post over at a blog called This is the Year...and immediately thought of all the dedicated soda pop drinkers in my life. I have been hearing about this new product from Mod Podge called Dimensional Magic - and decided I would like to try it out for this project. So, I drove over to the local grocery store to pick up some Diet Coke. Felt a little funny to come home and pour the soda pop down the drain just so I could use the container. lol. Message Boards - "Does anyone get Victoria magazine? Looking for something in May/June 2011 issue" - NSBR Board - Two Peas In A Bucket.

There's a tutorial to make lace pottery. Aren't they amazing? None of the libraries around here carry Victoria magazine, so I'm wondering if some kind Pea who has the magazine would look at the article and see what type of clay she uses. She says it is an air dry porcelain clay and that it's available at Hobby Lobby. Also, I'm wondering if she colors the clay before or after drying and what type of paint/glaze she is using in the tutorial. I'm planning on ordering a copy of the magazine from the artist or the Victoria website but I want to make sure I can get the materials first. I've bitten off one too many projects only to not be able to locate one essential item. My mom was a prolific crocheter of doilies.

Washable Number Stenciled Mugs. If you are new to my blog you should know that I love to stencil pretty much everything. Among many designs one of my favorite are numbers so of course I had to add some number love to our new mugs. To make this project all you need are four things. 1. Nº 1. Follow the directions on the back of your paint and CLEAN your mugs. After they are dry and ready apply the stencil that you previously made or purchased. { You’ll need some type of Vinyl Machine to make your own stencils } Because the mugs are not flat your stencil will wrinkle a bit.

Make sure the shape of your lettering is flat. Nº 2. The second step is EASY. I love to use DecoArt products. . { You can find DecoArt paint over your local Craft Stores } I noticed I have in the picture the Midnight Blue, but I actually ended up using their black one. I applied one coat of paint. I have never painted dishes before so I was surprised that the texture was different than regular acrylic paint. { Remeber DO NOT brush side to side or up and down.

Nº 3.
