Every Day DIY: Mini Resin Paperweights. This week’s Every Day DIY was inspired by the massive piles of paper that are currently smothering my laptop.
It wasn’t until I had to clear off my section of our communal desk for a special afternoon tea ceremony treat that I realized how much trouble I was in. Under piles of bills (whoops) were magazines and postcards that needed to be read and filed away, not to mention a few dozen receipts that I’m pretty sure our bookkeeper would like to process. So I decided to come up with a quick-and-easy DIY that would inspire me to keep my various piles in order: mini resin paperweights! The nice thing about this project is that it takes literally 15 minutes to make (5 minutes to prep and mix, 10 minutes to set) and you can place just about anything inside. I chose to make mine sparkly and colorful in honor of this month’s theme, but you could easily place objects inside that are special to you.
The full how-to is after the jump… Super Fast, Fabulous Mouse Pad DIY! — Dream a Little Bigger. So the other day I was in Wally World in desperate need of a new mouse pad.
You know how one day your old one is fine and then BAM! It’s suddenly dingy and gross? My need level felt desperate and they only had one style in one color. Crazy, bright, ugly blue. I dug around in the box. Since it wasn’t worth it to drive across town to another store, I paid my $3 and went home. For this project you will need: STEP 1: Apply a healthy amount of Mod Podge straight onto the top of your mouse pad with a cheapie foam brush. Modpoged Books. Who says you can't recover a book?
We love the look of books for decorating. We both wanted some in our lil' boys rooms. So we came up with a fresh way to display books for decorating. First, pick out your books. (Hard cover works best!) Next, choose your paper palate. Then, dig out your Modpodge and sponge brush. Cut your paper down to size and start applying the paper and Modpodge.
Now, press out all the bubbles and let the books dry. (Close the books to dry, otherwise the paper will crack) Sand the edges if you like and ink them too! Solar + Mod Podge. 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!! Mod Podge tins. Are you a nut lover?
Hahaha! Weird question, I know. But the reason I ask is because my family loves nuts, and we always have containers left over when we’ve eaten them all. I really hate to throw nice metal containers out – they are way too perfect for recycled craft projects! So I don’t throw them out.

The next step is to prepare you fabric with Mod Podge. Once the fabric is dry, cut one edge to be straight. Place your fabric on the container and measure where you need to cut at the top. Place a medium layer of Mod Podge on the container and then carefully wrap the fabric around, smoothing as you go.
