Here are a few of the craft projects I have made so far this summer.
Welcome Sign
This is a sign I bought cheap at a craft store. It started as plain white with a chain. I decided to dress it up with some green and purple paint, jewels, and ribbon. It already had "Welcome" stamped in the metal along with the flowers and vines. It turned out so cute!
Candle Holders
(1, 2, 3-left to right)
1. Came up with idea on my own after doing some similar stuff with twine. I used Mod Podge and wrapped the twine around the class holder. Once dry, I used sewing thread and some beads to attach beads between the two bands of twine. I really like the color the random beads add to this one.
2. Another use of Mod Podge! <3 To make this I used an old Mason jar. I kind of followed a tutorial off Pinterest. I added a spoon full of Mod Podge to the jar along with 4 drops of food coloring, and mixed. Then I used a paint brush to coat the inside of the jar. I let it dry upside down for 30 minutes before putting it in the oven right side up to be heat fixed at 170 degrees. I put it in for 20 minutes and then kept checking it after that time, and took it out once all the Mod Podge had turned clear. I finished it off with some twine and bead charms. I lit a candle in it and it held up just fine!

3. So I got this idea off a friend's Pinterest page. I painted Mod Podge onto the glass and then wrapped the twine tightly around the holder. After it dried, I hot glued this pretty turquoise bead on it. Very westerny to me!
Red Neck Wine Glass
So I'm not a wine drinker but I thought this idea was so cute and fun when I first saw one at a store for 15 bucks! I knew I could do it for less. I picked up an old glass candle stick holder and some bonding glue at the craft store. Then I added 4 bullet shells from my boyfriend's gun (that I shot) into the candle holder. Then I glued that to an old Mason Jar. It takes about 3 days for the bonding to cure. I'll enjoy some beverage in this classy glass!
Stay tuned for more of my craft projects...stepping stones, wood block picture holders, and an old window frame turned into an entry hall coat rack!
