Vinyl Record Bowls
I got the idea to make these little bowls a few years ago when I bought Mark Montano's book, the Big-Arse Book of Crafts . (Mark Montano is the most brilliant crafter around-- I love his books and his projects.) One bowl I made sits on my dresser and holds little hair knickknacks, and I gave a few bowls away, but I never got around to writing a tutorial about it. To make a vinyl record bowl you need: -Real bowl (One that can go in the oven.) This project is so easy and fun. After you take it out of the oven, just press the record down into any bowl or shape that you want. Hold your record in place inside the bowl until it hardens again. (My favorite one.) And that's it! You can keep whatever you want in these bowls, I think I am going to take mine to work and put them on my desk.

Tic Tac Vases
My husband loves orange tic tacs almost as much as Paulie Bleaker, and we have a lot of these empty containers laying around. So, I decided to up-cycle them into mini bud vases. They work wonderfully together and look great lined up too. All you will need are some old magazines and tic tac containers. Here’s how to make them… Grab some empty tic tac containers and remove all the sticker labeling with soap and water. Tip: Paper Source catalogs are perfect for this.

Mason Jar Candy Jars {Tutorial}
Happy Monday, y'all! Have you noticed that Mason jars are everywhere right now?! And I adore them. They are so simple and you can dress them up however you'd like. Last weekend while I was in Utah, I visited my amazingly talented cousin Michelle. Everywhere I looked around her house, I was inspired by her creativity. Imagine how cute these mason jar candy jars would be at a wedding, filled with the perfect shades of gummy bears, M&M's, and other sweets! Now on to the tut! Mason Jar Apothecary Jars It's midnight, and I'm dying to dig into these right.now. So as I was getting started, I was hoping to find some wooden candlesticks as little pedestals. I improvised. My husband was anxious to try out his new clamps, so I obliged. We let these dry overnight. Next, I made the candy jar lids. Next, I gave all of the wooden pieces a good coat of black spray paint and sanded the edges a bit. Now for the fun part! The lids just rest on top of the jars. See what I mean. Enjoy a "sweet" week, friends!
