For Maggie

This post is dedicated to Maggie. Not because of what I found here that I want to make REALLY bad. But because I found it through a link to a wedding website.  


The project I'm lusting after.  
As you can see the above project is totally me and I am determined to try it out with their excellent step-by-step directions.  Although I must say they seem like a little more work for just an ordinary candle holder so they may have to hold out for a special occasion.  

The tutorial was posted on www.WeddingBee.com which is why it immediately makes me think of Maggie.  And while the blog interests me little because it feeds from the whole site what's great is the bio tab because it has buttons that lead to these lists of ideas and articles on how the couple met to the honeymoon. 

For example if I go to www.weddingbee.com->click on the "Bio" tab->click on "Bouquets" I end  up at this page full of photos of bouquets each with a link with a post by the bride who uploaded the photo.  There's even a DIY section and that's fun to look at just for fun stuff like this Mad Lib Guestbook idea!

I think its pretty inspiring...I hope you find some fun ideas Maggie!

<3 Jessica

Crafting Fails

Let's be honest, sometimes things just don't go as planned.  Like when you have this brilliant idea to do screen printing on the cheap and your ink runs everywhere.  Ink bleeding everywhere Or when you melt the fabulous tote bag you were working on.  Melted Mandala Sometimes you just have to admit that you don't know what you're doing and Google it.  And that's what I do.  So look out for some tutorials in the near future of things that I've probably screwed up previously and finally gave in and Googled how to do.   What sort of things have you failed at recently?

DIY Mug Stencil

I wanted to do a follow-up of my previous post to show you how easy it is to use the same process on a mug. I had these great plain mugs I got for 99 cents at a local discount store and I decided they needed to say something cheeky. Boring Originals  So I went ahead and created a stencil using 631.  This is an example where removable vinyl or stencil material is a MUST...if you use 651 you're going to cry because the vinyl is not going to want to come off everywhere and you're just going to end up frustrated...so make sure you understand your materials before creating the stencil.   Now let's talk paint, you can use oil based sharpies on your stencil, but I already had this glass and ceramic paint available (and my sharpies are all mysteriously missing).  Keep in mind you CANNOT use just any paint as it will not stick to your mug.  This paint is made exclusively for glass and ceramics.  Then, once you're done painting you must FOLLOW THE DIR...
