D.C. Map Coasters Last year, I bought some coasters from a vendor at Eastern Market. 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. 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! Start decoupaging, one by one... My Decoupage Tips: *thinner coats work better - don't goop it on! *go slowly & have patience! *have a wet paper towel on hand to wipe up the excess *once dry, you can use sandpaper to sand imperfections around the edges! Ta Da! My vino & new coaster:

The Absolute Favorite Thing I Have Made! Name and Est. Date Wall Art Have you seen on other blogs people using vinyl lettering to spell their last name and the year they were married, for example Smith est. 2001? I love these! I had dreamed about eventually doing this in our front entrance but could never find a place with the vinyl lettering I liked. So when my sister sent me Under the Table and Dreaming's and My Three Monsters idea for this....I literally screamed with joy. You have to see what they have done! I love Stephanie Lynn's and Amy's version but I have a last name with only two letters! Method:I used Microsoft Office Publisher to design this. Here are some examples of the gifts I have made: Thank you Stephanie Lynn and Amy for this! Stephanie UPDATE: I used this same technique to create an amazing custom baby announcement that I absolutely love. What do you think?
DIY Tutorials Tutorial: How To Attach Fringe January 24, 2014 Last week I posted a tutorial on how to quickly make a lot of fringe at once and now I’m going to show you how I attach fringe! All you need is a crochet hook. Insert your hook into the space where you want to put the fringe as shown above. Put the ends of your fringe piece(s) through the loop and pull tight! Tutorial: How To Quickly Make A Lot Of Fringe At Once! January 14, 2014 Sometimes crochet projects require a lot of fringe and it can be really time consuming to cut each piece individually, so here is an easy way to cut a lot of fringe at once! Wrap your yarn around and around that piece of cardboard! When you have enough wraps on there (one wrap = one piece of fringe), cut the end of the yarn and then cut the yarn along the bottom edge of the cardboard. Easy peasy! Tutorial: How To Add Elastic To Crochet Leg Warmers & Hats December 3, 2013 There are a lot of types of elastic threads & cords that you can get at any craft store. Supplies:
Wall Art for Sienna's Room 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. Step 2: Step 3: Step 4: Step 5: Step 6: Step 7:
DIY I like to make beautiful things, and I like to spend time with my children, so over the years I've done a fair amount of creating with them. That may sound really sweet and homey, until you add the perfectionism that I, and my children, both tend to. I always start with good intentions, but too often what should be a beautiful mother child moment deteriorates into tears. Or used to. So for Michaelmas, while the older kids in our homeschool co-op sculpted dragons out of clay, the group that I co-lead, the 1st-3rd graders, kept it simple. We started with beeswax crayons and just let the kids color the egg however they liked. Place egg in an oven safe bowl or dish, then place in a pre-heated 200 degree oven for twenty minutes.
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!) 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!!
