Washer jewelry

Take washers (hardware) & paint with nail polish, or decoupage scrapbook paper onto. Then put a layer of dimensional modgepodge. Do this for both sides of washer. Then put on string with a few beads for embellishments & tie. Wallah, a colorful bohemian style necklace!

Coaster revamp


I got these coasters free at target with purchase. Wasn't thrilled about design, so decoupaged craft paper over old design.

Here's original coaster:



Here are my new, better (i think) coasters, just waiting for the glossy/glassy coat of dimensional modge podge to dry:








This is the container it came in. I decoupaged over the store logo. 😜


Gift box re-do

I took a gift box that had a jewelry company name on it & decoupaged right over logo! Now its ready for me to use to give a jewelry gift in.

DiIY Gift tags

Scrapbook paper
Pencil
Scissors
Modge podge
Small paint brush

I cut pieces of colorful paper to size of business card. Then cut thicker decorative paper to size if top in thin strip. Then modgepodge the strip to the to of the paper. 

I plan on using these for gift tags & they match the decorative clothespins in post below.




Modge podge clothespins & paper clips

Modge podge (i used glitter type)
Clothespins
Small paint brush
Pencil
Scizzors
Scrapbook paper

Trace shape of clothespins with pencil on paper & cut paper to size. Put paper on clothespin & spread modgepodge over top of paper evenly with brush. Do same on other side. Let dry.








I'm going to use these to decoratively hold gift bags together, but they could be used in many ways. You could use holiday themed paper & hang photos on twine with these also when you receive christmas cards. Just some ideas.
