Food Coloring Markers Update 3-9-14 -- Thanks to instructabler Conrad3000 for pointing this out, you can buy unfilled markers from Crayola! Saves some steps, that's for sure! I'm retiring my original set this year, so I'll give them a try. He mentions he's also trying them with Crayola's airbrush kit, I may end up trying that as well. This is a very simple project. A package of non-toxic washable markers Food coloring For the markers, I went with Crayola brand, only because they are a name I'm familiar with, and I suspect if people had a problem with toxicity from their products it would be big news. I got food coloring from the dollar store--you can pay 5-6 bucks at a regular store but I think this will do. As to tools, you'll need: Several small glasses (like shot glasses) Eyedropper Lots of paper towels A surface that's either protected or you don't mind staining Pliers Watertight jar Toothpicks Plain white paper A heat gun or hair dryer
Decorating ideas using wallpaper I've had wallpaper on my mind ever since Chasing Paper licensed one of my designs for their self-adhesive, removable wallpaper collection (read about that here). I tried out one of the sample pieces on this TV tray. I might stick a chunk on the back of my iPad, too. It's fun to think about ways to add wallpaper to a home without the cost of doing a wall or an entire room. The panels at Chasing Paper are 2 ft. x 4 ft., so perfect for smaller projects like these: Frame out a large section of wallpaper with some crown molding. Cover a cart (or bookshelf on wheels) with wallpaper. Stick wallpaper inside a bookshelf for a graphic patterned backdrop. Wallpaper a headboard. Give your stair risers some extra oomph. Wallpaper your fridge. Add pattern to the laundromat you manage.

Don’t throw away those old light bulbs just yet! I have a fun, easy DIY for you that will brighten up your home decor or workspace :) This DIY is very simple, but it requires working with glass so you definitely need to be careful! What you need: A light bulb (any shape or size will work!) Step One: First you need to remove the little silver layer on the bottom of the light bulb. Step Two: Now you have to remove the black cap from the bottom of the light bulb. Step Three: Once the black glass was removed it was really easy to get the little glass tube and wiring on the inside of the bulb out – I simply tapped it with the pliers and it broke right off. And now you have your empty lightbulb! Step Four: Add flowers and water, and hang with the gardening wire! Now I want to make more!

Upcycle: Pillowcase to top tutorial I teased some post a go asking what could I make with a pillowcase, ribbon and some lace? Here is the answer =] A pretty vintage top. I loved the flow this particular pillowcase had and since it was one of the last sets Ken had before we moved together, I didn’t think he’ll miss it hehe (it’s for a single bed and there is another one in case we need it) There are so many possibilities and well pillowcases are easy to find right? I really liked the green and mixed it up with some vintage lace I had hanging around, I used ribbon for the straps and even tho there is a lof of pillowcase dresses and t-shirts out there, I wanted to show my version because I made it so to be very loose-fitting and comfy. To make this top is super easy and you dont need a serger at all (even tho if you have an extra one you can always send it my way! * This tutorial is provided for personal, non-commercial use only.

DIY Makeup Magnet Board Are you sick of shuffling around your makeup drawer? When my good friend and fellow Beauty Shayna L. lamented on her jumbled beauty collection, we decided to de-clutter her cosmetic chaos and get a little crafty. After reading about blogger Laura's ingenious Makeup Magnet Board, we knew this nifty beauty organizer was the solution for Shayna's stash. Materials: Old Wooden Frame without glass (sorry, puppy painting not included!) Step 1 In a well-ventilated outdoor area, spray-paint an old wooden frame (we found ours for $3 at the thrift store!). Step 2 While your frame and brush holders are drying, attach your fabric to the pre-cut metal sheet. Step 3 Fold your fabric on the metal lengthwise first, then fold the other edges in. Step 4 Heat up your hot glue gun. Step 5 If your frame feels completely dry to the touch, it's ready to go.
Tinted Mason Jars in Rainbow I love using mason jars for decorating and a seemingly endless supply of craft projects. But rainbow tinted mason jars, just like the vintage ones you can never find anymore? This one might be my favorite project with mason jars yet! Mason Jars Mod Podge in Gloss (buy it here) Food coloring Ramekins to mix colors Newspaper or paper bag Mix food coloring with a T or so of water into individual ramekins. Add a couple T of mod podge into your mason jar Add one ramekin of color into the jar and stir to incorporate it all together With a bowl underneath, carefully twist the jar around coating the whole inside with the mod podge/food coloring mixture. Let dry upside down on the paper Do the same with the other colors. Place the jars face down on top of wax paper and a cookie sheet into an oven, set on warm. When they're ready, they'll look clear and the mixture should lose most of its streaks.
