I am a blog FAILURE! Ok, that's all say about my hiatus.
I want to thank Amanda at Imperfectly Beautiful for giving me a shout out on her blog about the pumpkins. They really did turn out fabulous didn't they? I only wish my everyday life were filled with creating wonderful things like that.
I get so many ideas but I never finish them. I need motivation.
Today I want to share with y'all some coasters that I am in the process of finishing.
I bought these not very adorable fourth of july coasters at the dollar tree. I don't know how I saw potential in them they are seriously hideous. But not after I modge podge'd some of my favorite K & Company paper on them [pictured below].
[is this not great? it's called Urban Rhapsody and it's a paper pack by K&Company I found it at the Hobby Lobby where my parent's live. I think I got it half off too. $12.99 + 1/2 off = LOVE]
Anywho, These are the supplies I began with:
- Decoupage/Modge Podge
- Diamond Glaze [that's the triple thick thing i <3>
- Paper
- Paper Trimmer
- Cheap-o foam brush [these were recently on sale at Michael's for 20/$1]
- The lovely Fourth of July coasters from the Dollar Tree
- Scrapbook paper of your choosing [I chose Urban Rhapsody paper by K&Co.]
I'm not going to go through all the steps of what I did, If you have questions feel free to email me.
This is the almost final project:
[I still need to seal them with the diamond glaze so that putting a drink on them doesn't ruin them, because that's kind of the point of a coaster.]
It's good to be back and blogging, I have so many more ideas to share with you all. Don't forget to check back!
