5 Things You Can Mod Podge with Napkins

Did you know that you could change your sandals or your lamp easily with napkins? Well, you can! All you need is some paper napkins, mod podge (in a variety of finishes) and paint brushes. Below are some ideas for some crazy and easy mod podge redos. The floral napkins I used are great because they are a busy design that is perfect for piecing together. I like the textured look some wrinkles on the project give. If you are OCD, mod podge may not be for you! If you like this page or article, you can buy me a coffee! 1. Wood Letters or Numbers Wood numbers or letters look great with a mod podged pattern! Here's how I did it: I picked up some patriotic napkins at Hobby Lobby that were on sale. I painted the whole number in a blue acrylic then let it dry. To start, peel the white backing off of the napkin. Cut your napkin into a manageable piece. I did this outside so it was blowing all over the place in the wind. Using a matte mod podge, paint a section that the napkin will...

Coat Hanger Butterfly Craft Kids Will Love

Check out these butterflies! They were so fun to make for only $5 for both with supplies you can buy at Dollar Tree. You could make it even easier for kids by not spray painting and just using the colored hangers. I took a ton of pictures so beware! lol It should be very easy to follow along but let me know if I forgot any details. You'll need: Coat hangers - the large butterfly I made used adult hangers and the small butterfly used small hangers Solar lights zip ties scissors optional spray paint = I used Rustoleum oil rubbed bronze and a dull aluminum spray. I wanted bright colors but we were out and I try to use what we have. Okay, I'm going to get super technical here. To start, mark a "heart" with the hanger pieces like this. Add zipties to the "heart" to hold it together and to the other side. Now you have one wing. Make your other wing just like the first one and add zip ties. Now you'll connect them in the center with two more zip ties...

5 Shibori Dye Techniques

Shibori is an ancient Japanese form of dying. Typically, indigo colored dye is used but you can use whatever color you would like. Rit makes an indigo kit or I will show you how to make a mix using two blues. To get the patterns, you fold your cloth and then submerge it into the dye. I had an hour of kid-free and husband-free time yesterday and wasn't sure what to do with myself. This is something I'd rather not have a little one "helping me with." If he were a better listener, I would. I think older kids would absolutely love this! It would be great for a birthday party activity or a girl's craft night. The possibilities are endless with what you could dye. I used cotton dish cloths and a t-shirt but you could dye your own fabric, towels, aprons, canvas totes, curtains, sheets and pillow cases. I was pretty excited to score Rit dye on clearance at my local Rite Aid. It was under $2 instead of $6.99. You'll Need: HOT water Rit dye kit or Rit dyes Cotto...
