Color Theory 101: selecting yarns that go together A lot of patterns going around at the moment feature stripes: two or three colors that go together perfectly. You could follow the colors suggested in the pattern sample… but you want to try something a little different. But how in the world do you pick a colors that go together? Color theory. Most yarn lines contain a wide range of of colors. Whoa! But don’t fret. It’s not all of the yarns, of course! Most yarn companies design their colors of yarn with compatibility in mind. Fortunately, there’s a name for the art of picking colors that go together: color theory. There are three color schemes that, if followed, will create knock-your-socks-off color combos: analogous, complementary and split complementary. Analogous Analogous colors are the ones that are next to each other on the color wheel: This scheme can work with any number of colors… pick two that are next to each other, three or four!

How to Make Photo Coasters | The Frugal Girls Like it? Pin it! I’ve got another fun, easy & thrifty project to share with you ~ How to Make Photo Coasters! Make some for yourself, and give some as thrifty gifts! This project idea comes from my friend Joli ~ I spotted some at her house that she had made, and I just had to share this fun project with you! What You’ll Need: Ceramic Tiles {I found these at Lowe’s for 16 cents each!} What You’ll Do: Paint the rough, unfinished side edges of the coasters. Trim photo into a square shape, to fit the tile. Now, be sure not to rush the project, and give it plenty of time. Once dry, apply a layer of Mod Podge with a sponge applicator to the top of the photo. Repeat with 2 more layers of Mod Podge {allowing each layer to dry completely before applying the next}. Once the coasters have had 3 layers of Mod Podge applied… and have dried completely, take them on outside. Lay coasters on wax paper, or something else you don’t mind getting sprayed with some over-spray. You did it ~ aren’t these too cute??
