Fall wreath

This month I made a wreath for our front door.  We grew sunflowers this year, so I was excited to find some artificial ones.  I think I may still add a small chalkboard and write "welcome" or "hello" on it. This would be easy to switch out to match each season.

Reuse and Upcycle!

I bought a "fancy" sauce pan and it came in a canvas bag.  I didn't want to throw the bag away but it was just sitting there in the closet.  For this month's project I upcycled and created a purse using old items that included a cloth belt, left-over buttons, and scraps of ribbons. Of course other items can be used for decoration like felt flowers, beads, and embroidery. - JM

Coasters!

Coasters!

This month I made coasters using ceramic tiles.  I used modge podge to adhere them and an additional 3 coats over the paper.  I used a sealant spray to make them water proof.  I also used a glue gun to add felt to the bottoms, so they won't scratch the table.  I made a set of 4 of each design as gifts for my family.
