How to cut glass I posted a picture about 1 week ago on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter of me cutting glass using just string. I got LOT’S of requests for a tutorial on how I DID THIS! So here it is. FINALLY! I want to warn you. It’s best to triple your yarn because it will burn longer! Soak it GOOD! I like to tie my yarn where I want my glass to “cut” then quickly pour polish remover over the string again. Get a big bowl with ice and water ready. VERY IMPORTANT! Slowly turn your bottle. You can’t let the flame go OUT then dunk it in the ice water. YAY!!! I reallly hope you enjoyed this tutorial because I had ALOT of requests for it! © Copyright jaderbombllc, All rights Reserved.

Painted Upholstery – The Process Revealed (Tutorial) *NOTE – There are other examples of painted upholstery (mostly from readers) on the Chairs page at the top of the blog. In addition, there are other upholstery painting methods on that page, if you are interested. I recently painted an upholstered chair and have been asked about the process. Below are before and after photos: And, here it is after 15 months. Still looking great! Why would I do this? So, how could I do this cheaper? I REALLY wanted a chair like in my inspiration photo. The wing back and the vibrant teal color were important elements of my master bedroom story board. Then, I had an epiphany. After a day or two of getting my ducks in a row as far as a plan was concerned, I purchased this chair on Craigslist. It was in perfect condition. I began the painting process. Materials needed: 1 Quart of latex satin paint in the color of your choice (I just got word that though Valspar called it latex, this paint is acrylic. Tutorial: 1. 2. I used Ocean Soul by Valspar. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

Hi my sweet bloggie friends!!! Hand Painted Linen Kitchen Towels & Napkins - Easy DIY Project In my kitchen, each season I change out accents to make the otherwise neutral room feel more like that particular time of year. Little touches like adding fresh colored kitchen towels and a stack of linen napkins can make a big difference in making the entire room feel like Spring, for example. To be able to keep up with my seasonally evolving kitchen, I have made a variety of custom kitchen linens that boast my favorite color combinations and hand-stitched monograms. (UPDATE : I've started stocking my own collection of linens in my Everyday Occasions store - some inspired by these hand-painted towels! hand paintedlinen kitchen towels & napkins fabric paint brushes painter’s tape water drop cloth or craft paper linen fabric sewing machine thread pair of scissors Directions : Begin by cutting the linen into the size of the item you’d like to make.

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. Supplies: 1/2 cup acrylic paint (choose any color you like, or mix colors together to make the perfect shade!) 1. 2. Once your chalkboard has fully dried be sure to slate the surface before using it for the first time. Have fun creating any color combination you like!!

Photo Tile Coasters {Using Resin} Last Christmas I almost had a breakdown... We had just moved in to our home the month before, but I didn't want to let that prevent us from having the holliest jolliest Christmas. My intentions were good. And that's how it happened. Well, with this project I created an anniversary gift AND a Christmas gift. While I was in Utah, my sweet cousin Michelle showed me a couple of projects using resin. Here's how I made these photo coasters... I started out with a trip to Home Depot. Next, I ordered some photos. Only 13 cents a print at Costco! I used a regular old Elmer's glue stick to paste each picture onto the tiles. I won't give a full tutorial on using resin because each product is a little different. After mixing the resin with the hardener, I just poured it on! Then it took them a full 24 hours to harden up! Once dry, I mounted 4 of the felt circles on the bottom of each tile so they would slide easily on wood without scratching! All done! Now these are stinkin' cute!! Happy weekend!

Leather Lunch Tote | Wood&Faulk I don’t bring my lunch to work as often as I should. And by that, I mean never. What if I had a cool lunch tote? It might not help… but at the very least, it’s a fun project to practice some hand-sewing and to make something interesting. Lately I’ve been inspired by a number of Japanese leather craft books… such meticulous stitching and thoughtful design. Whether you need a lunch tote or not, here’s a project that you can modify to make something neat for your own totable needs.
