Everyone knows I am a crafter wanna-be. I try really hard to make cute crafts in the little time I have and for the most part, I succeed, to an extent. I have my etsy shop in which I'm really proud. I love my little dresses, but I like to explore my options (though I'm excited to make some spring pillows for a bench in my dining room).
I recently discovered Mod Podge. I've always heard of it, seen in in the store, but have never used it. Not sure how I came across this site: Ooops, I Craft My Pants (isn't that a cute name), but in her site, she did a tutorial for Mod Podge shoes! Yes, shoes! I'm not sure that I would trust myself to take on shoes, so maybe something a little easier to start, but really, shoes? Must be pretty versatile stuff, this Mod Podge.
After researching Oops, I Craft My Pants a little more, I ran across TaterTots and Jello. While not a Mod Podge site, she has a love a Mod Podge and other fantastic crafts, like this one - Burlap wreath. Seriously, how cute is this wreath? I love it and it is so our style while throwing in lots of color, winter or summer, burlap is a fabric of all seasons! I WILL be making one of these.
After a little more surfing (geez, I really get sucked into these crafting sites), I discovered the motherload of Mod Podge; Mod Podge Rocks and more specificcally, a Mod Podge cabinet. Ah Ha! Mod Podge will be how I renovate a cabinet that is in the pink/green guest bedroom. It is stained wood right now, but I want to paint it white, distress it and find a great fabric and Mod Podge onto the interior of the cabinet! I will be doing a tutorial (well, I wouldn't say I'm crafty enough to tutor) but I will show you how it turns out.
But first, Husband has insisted I finish Lallie's dollhouse (you know the one I mentioned here, the one my dad made for me when I was three years old?) Lallie loves it and loves playing with all the furniture, so I need to finish painting it and fixing it up so it can go into her room. I will post that finished product as well.
TTFN!
Wow - those are some amazing projects!!! I'm in love with them all and have a new found respect for modge podge :) Might have to pick me some up! Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteOMG! I bought shoes yesterday with a Mod Podgie finish...super cute!
ReplyDeleteI love both of those blogs. Don't they just make the most beautiful things.
ReplyDeleteI love the shoes and may have to try them sometime!
Such cute little shoes! I don't think I trust myself to get the shoe project done well, but they are super cute nonetheless! What a cool idea!
ReplyDeleteThe burlap wreath is simply adorable. And year round too! And I can't wait to see how your cabinet and Lallie's dollhouse turn out!
So impressed with all your crafty-ness! I wish I had your skills!! :)
I love mod podge and am now very intrigued by the mod podge shoes. I am going to need to investigate further. You will definitely become obsessed with mod podge.
ReplyDeleteLove that burlap wreath too. I am definitely going to have to make one of those.
Can't wait to see Lallie's finished dollhouse and that cabinet! Happy Thursday.
I love Mod Podge! I recently used it to redo some lampshades...I'm not sure if I'm brave enough for shoes either though!
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait to see Lallie's finished dollhouse!
