Fun with Mod Podge

So I know you've been seeing them all over the place. Those cute little letters that are all fancy-fied, with paper, embellishments and Mod Podge! Well I decided hey that would look super cute in my very dreary and dull cubicle at work. And then I thought hey other people may want to know how I did this so I've included instructions!

MATERIALS:
-designer paper by Basic Grey Pheobe
-mod podge
-wooden letter
-acrylic paint
-hot glue
-fabric flowers (paper ones are good too!)



Here is my "S":

Step 5: Use your stencil to cut out various plain and patterned papers for your letter (I used 3, and forgot to take a picture of this step!)

To attach the embellishments I used hot glue, and just glued the separate layers together of the flowers and then the button on top and then stuck it to the "S". I also used hot glue to attach the ribbon to the back of the letter. It seems to have worked out just fine!

I hope everyone has enjoyed this little tutorial! And I really hope you enjoy making your own letters for you or your loved ones! They make excellent gifts!

Hope this makes everyone's hump day go by a little quicker so we can get to the weekend! And don't forget to post your projects back here so that I can go take a look at what you are creating!

A Fun Organizing Solution...

...from Make It and Love It! Her post here, inspired me to make my own! So I gathered my supplies, pretty much ment I had to go to my favorite crafting store, any excuse I tell ya! And this is how it came out! I like it a lot!

There is a tutorial on Make It and Love It's blog! Try it out, its super easy and the longest part is waiting for the Mod Podge to dry!

This is a peek into my organization of my "office space". As you can see it still has a LONG way to go, but hopefully it will all come together over my winter break from school!

Well I hope everyone is having a great time during the holidays!

xoxo,

Finals are over...

...and now I can get back to my blog! YAY! I've been neglecting it horribly for a while now. But it is summer vacation, and since I couldn't afford to take summer classes, I have a break! YAY! So my summer is going to be packed with a vacation to Denver, to see my best friend, work on my etsy site, and work of course!

The other day while checking my reading list, I came upon this great idea for playing with Mod Podge. Thank you to The How-to-Gal! I got to playing with it, and granted these aren't necessarily my best work but they will do for my first go round, but here are some magnents I made using her technique.

They are so fun and so easy...as you can see they are being used on the fridge already! I did magnents instead of a pendant like The How-to-Gal, but it is still very simple instead of the baile, I used a hot glue gun and magnents that I got at Michaels. I found all the elements for this project between Hobby Lobby and Michaels. You should all try it!

Nextly, I've been very busy this first weekend off from school! I bought a new computer yesterday and if I had a picture of it I would show you! So I can stay updated in the blogging world! YAY! Sorry for the long post today, but I got lots to share!

Oh, one final thing, looks like I will be passing all my classes this semester, still waiting on a few final grades, but I think I'm in good shape!

XOXO
