There used to be a paint-your-own-pottery shop in town when my kids were little and for Christmas I made Santa cookie plates for them and a few for friends and family.
The shop is no longer around so I created a way to make one using a porcelaine paint pen for ceramics and some old-school type-curving techniques. You can find porcelain pens and paint in many colors. I only had black in my studio and because I love the syle of Emma Bridgwater’s Black Toast dishes, let’s just say that was the look I was going for here. The plate is a basic Home brand salad plate from Target, I think I paid less than $4 for it. For creating curved type around a plate, print out your type in two separate lines for top and bottom. Turn your template over and cover the back of the type you will be tracing with pencil. Trim out the strips of type along the dashed line and be careful to cut around ascenders and descenders in your type, such as a dot over the i or the bottom of a p. Share. From panka with love.
Vintage inspired mirror. Spring is here and we all want to renew, change and update our home … It just seems that ur pockets don’t want to follow our good intentions.
That’s why I love to do DIY low cost decorating projects. With only about 5€ I made a mirror to decorate the living room, the entrance of your home or a special room.

Between the half eaten jelly jars in the back of my fridge to the numerous lid-less jars I use to hold paper clips and other odds and ends, my house is filled with them. The thing about jars is, I can’t stand the thought of getting rid of them! Ombre flower vase. Recycled Craft Ideas - Mason Jar and Recycled Crafts. Mason jars/modge podge-food coloring. I am loving the pastel colors of these spring time lanterns - a little reuse project I have been playing around with lately!
The secret to all these lovely colors! Mod Podge colored with a bit of food coloring! I had a couple little stamped jars on hand and I got to thinking, if I colored them, they would probably resemble some of the vintage glass pieces that belonged to my great grandmother. So pretty on a spring brunch table set with vintage glass dishes. I wasn't sure whether to use acrylic paint or food coloring so I tested both. I tried out red acrylic paint first, adding just a tiny bit to a brush full (about 2 teaspoons) of Mod Podge.
Hummmmm... not too crazy about the brush strokes. Maybe a bit of bubble wrap would add a more even texture. Mason jars into soap dispensers. Mason jar coloring. When it's June in the Midwest you can only bet that we are outside -- whether it be work, play or relaxation -- you can find us soaking up the sun in the great outdoors.
And since we are spending so much time outside now -- we thought we should definitely invest in some solar lights for the front yard patio. Have you shopped for these lately?!? They are like $8.00 - $10.00 per light -- seriously!! I have been browsing them for months now trying to find a good deal...but no luck so far. So of course I turned to my trusty blogger friends for some ideas and inspiration......enter these two lovely ladies: They both had WONDERFUL projects -- and I totally "borrowed" their fabulous ideas and created something new.
Heather over at Our Life in a Click did some incredible solar light jars -- for only $6.00! Adding paper doilies to bottles.
