Make A Monogrammed Dish in five easy steps!

July 9, 2015

So you all know I love a good craft project especially one that can be done in three easy steps and takes less than 10 minutes to make.

Step 1: Buy a couple of white ceramic candle plates from Ikea

note: standing in line at Ikea will definitely require more time than it takes to make this project

Step 2: Print vinyl monograms on your Cricut Explore

disclaimer: my friend Tina just so happens to own a Cricut Explore and gifted me with a couple of monograms for my birthday

Step 3: Apply vinyl decal to ceramic plate

Step 4: Add decorative washi tape to the plate

tip: if you don’t own any washi tape you need to buy some because it can be used to decorate anything

Step 5: Coat the top of the plate with Mod Podge to seal the monogram and create a protective surface

tip #2: mod podge is another diy staple you should own

In less than 10 minutes (plus the drying time for the mod podge) you can make yourself a set of these adorable dishes.

There’s nothing better than a crafting session that results in a decorative accessory that can be used in so many ways:

♦ jewelry dish

♦ candle tray

♦ desk accessory

♦ coaster

♦ key and sunglasses dish

♦ nightstand catchall

Happy crafting!

Party Inspiration: UnExpected and Crafty Ways to Decorate

June 17, 2014

In my book every day of the year is a great day for a party. And when it comes to party decor, I’m always on the hunt for unique and creative ideas to add to my party planning file. On a recent Pinterest binge I came across a few images that were not only beautiful but that spoke to my creativity. These tablescapes look sophisticated and elaborate but it is the details that make them great. Details that can be achieved with a little creativity.

I Wish I Could, But I Can’t

September 13, 2013

Happy Friday!

Today I had planned to show you my home office space but I cant! It is no shape to make a debut on the blog.

The current state of my desk looks like this…

and I’ve got fabric samples, my fall coffee table décor, centerpieces for an event and my treasures from Scott Antique Market all over the floor!

I promise I’ll share the space with you next week after I get it cleaned up and organize, but in the meantime I hope you enjoy this quick and easy DIY project I recently created for my desk.

After painting my desk and adding a glass top, I realized that my computer mouse was not functioning well on the glass surface. I knew I needed a mouse pad but didn’t want to buy one of those generic looking ones, so DIY to the rescue.

Supplies:

Cork trivets from Ikea ($2.99 for 3) and Decorative Scrapbook Paper

Mod Podge, Scissors and a paint brush

Decorative Washi Tape and/or acrylic paint

How to:

Trace the outline of your trivet on to the scrapbook paper and cut it out.

Using a paint brush, coat one side of the trivet and the back side of your paper circle with Mod Podge. Place the paper on to the wet trivet surface and smooth out.

Once the Mod Podge is dry, you can paint the edge of your trivet with acrylic paint or cover it with decorative washi tape. And if you want, you can coat the top and sides with a final layer of Mod Podge to create a smooth, protected surface.

Let everything dry and you’ll have a fancy mouse pad for your desk, for less than $3.00!

I loved how easy and inexpensive this project was so I created three mouse pads that I can switch out when the mood strikes me. I used decorative tape on the edge of two pads and painted the edge of the third.
