Glitter Pears!

 

I love these guys, they look so good in a garland or a wreath for your door!

So simple too!

 

YOU WILL NEED:

fake pears

mod podge

DIY ~ Book Page Ornament

 

Hi Y'all! :)))

 

Today we are making a ornament and I had a really hard time naming it for some reason. LOL

So I called it...

Book Page Ornaments!

 

I'm sure some of you could come up with a better name...LOL

 

YOU WILL NEED:

clear glass ornament

old book page

scissors

curling ribbon

 

First open up your glass ornament.

 

 

Take your book page and cut it into 1/4 inch strips.

I needed 7 for my bulb, but it's smaller than the round one's.

Roll both ends of each strip until you have a whole bunch of "s" coils.

 

 

Slightly unravel coils so they are curled.

 

 

Tuck them into your ornament until full.

Place top back on and tie some curling ribbon around the top.

Messy

DIY ~ Bobby Pin Earrings

 

Onto today's DIY.

Bobby Pin Earrings!

 

YOU WILL NEED:

black bobby pins

acrylic craft paint

clear coat

super thin wire

earring hooks

 

First count out 9 bobby pins twice.

Place them on a old piece of cardboard in 2 clumps.

 

Pick your three colors of paint and paint the design of your choice.
 

 

After the first coat, space out your bobby pins a little.

Do three coats of paint with the bobby's separated. (Use your first coat as your guide)
 

 

Once completely dry, push the bobby pins back together.

 

Clear coat.

 

When dry take two pieces of wire approximately 2 inches long.

 

While the bobby's are still on the cardboard, fish the wire through the top and twist them above in the middle.
 

 

Add an earring hook and your done!!!

DIY ~ Pillow Cases

 

This is how you make your boyfriend

TMNT Pillow Cases!

 

Tally loves the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

He has sheets.

 

I found TMNT fabric and decided to make him some new pillow cases.

 

WHAT YOU NEED:

1.5 meters fabric of choice

sewing machine

thread

pinking sheers

 

Using a pillow case you already own measure your fabric leaving 4 inches extra on one end.

 

 

Sew three sides leaving one end open.

 

 

Press your seams.
 

 

Iron your top opening hem a 1/4 inch down then 2.5 inches down to create a big cuff.
 

 

Sew seam all the way around to make a clean hemmed opening.
 

 

I hope he loves them!!!

 

Cheers,

Messy

 



DIY ~ Gold Star Ornament

 

These turned out so cute. :)

 

We're making

Gold Star Christmas Ornaments!

 

WHAT YOU NEED:

mod podge

glitter

clear coat

ribbon

glue gun

 

Coat the inside of your toilet paper roll with mod podge and cover in glitter.

Repeat on the outside.

 

 

Clear coat once mod podge is dry.

 

 

Once the whole tubes are fully dry, fold your tube in half and make strong folds.

Cut pieces about a half of a inch wide.

 

 

Glue one corner of 5 pieces into a flower/star shape.

 

 

Tie a ribbon on for hanging!

DIY ~ Workman's Legwarmers

 

I absolutely love these!!!

I saw a girl wearing some the other day at the grocery store and I thought 'I just have to have those!'

 

Today we are making

Workman's Legwarmer's!

 

 

YOU WILL NEED:

pair of men's work socks

pinking sheers

 

First take your sock and lay flat so that the toe seam is along the top.

 

 

Cut right under seam...make sure not to cut the seam off or they will unravel in the wash.

 

 

Finito.

 

 

Yup...it's just that easy :)

DIY ~ Tree Tags

Happy Friday!!! :)

 

Today's DIY is

Tree Tags!

 

They are so simple and easy and everyone that has seen them thinks I'm "so smart".

Baahahahaha!

 

YOU WILL NEED:

paint sample sheets (free at any paint store)

green or brown ink pad

confetti stars

ribbon or string

double sided tape

scissors

black ball point pen

 



 

First take two paint sheets and tape them together so color is on both sides.

 

Then cut your paint chips in half so you have three shades on each piece.

 



Cut them into triangles.

 



Swipe each edge on a brown or green ink pad.

 



Using tape or glue, put a small star on the top of each one.

 



Add a festive comment or a  to and from area.

 

 

You can also add a looped string, but I just taped mine to my gifts :)

DIY ~ Cupcake Christmas Ornaments

YAY!!!

It's the first day of my continued Christmas DIY's!!!

 

I decided to start with these adorable lil'

 

Cupcake Christmas Ornaments!

 

YOU WILL NEED:

glass frosted 1 1/2 inch Christmas balls

red pompoms

mod podge

iridescent or silver glitter

white cupcake liners

ribbon

hot glue gun

 

 

First take some mod podge and create a little wavy circle around the top.

Cover in glitter.

 



 

Using your glue gun, make a line of glue in a circle around the bottom of the Christmas ball.

 

 

Attach your cupcake liner.

 

 

I glued up near the edge of the liner a little to so it stuck better all around.
