Kiss Me I'm Irish Silhouette Project

I wanted to do a cute cut out saying for St Patricks Day. Usually I use vinyl but I hate to waste it and just tear it off after a few weeks. 

Dollar store to the rescue!

New Years Clock Dessert/Cake Stand

My clock in my office quick working and I was ready to throw it away when I started to think of what I could use it for. Then the idea hit. People always decorate with clock for New Years. I decided I would make a dessert/cake stand. 

I started out with my broken clock and a candlestick that I found on clearance at Michael's Crafts after Halloween.

I took the clock apart and really washed and scrubbed the glass and rim.

I then put a vinyl Happy New Year in the center. You could always use a stencil to do this too.

 I then glued the hands back onto the clock. I set it just a couple of minutes before midnight!

 

 I took a noise maker and glued it onto the face of the clock. I also took some silver tinsel that I got on clearance after Christmas and curled it with scissors and sprinkled it around.

I took and sprinkled silver glitter all over the face. You could add whatever you wanted on it.

I then put the washed and sanitized glass and  rim back on the clock.

I used a glue gun to attach the candlestick to the bottom of the clock.

 The final step was to add some goodies to my dessert/cake stand.

I was very excited how my New Years Server turned out!

This is where I purchase my vinyl

 

Avengers Cake

Just wanted to share my Avengers cake that I made for a cute little five year old. It was a chocolate cake with buttercream frosting

Halloween Door Art

Day 27

 Today's post is from Lissa over at Mighty Crafty I want to thank her for sharing her cute creation. She has some other cute Halloween things that you gotta go see.

Halloween Door Art

I made some new door art for Halloween! Love how this turned out!

Witch Sign

Day 25

Pirate Skull Pumpkins

Day 16

This wasn't my original post for today. I had the pumpkins all ready to do a vinyl chevron print. So I put on the vinyl and it looked horrible. I thought of putting it with my failed projects but it was so embarrassing I couldn't. It looked like something that your preschooler would bring home to you on craft day. LOL! If you think I'm exaggerating think again. So off came the Chevron and on went some pirate skulls that I already had.

Toilet Creepies

 Day 12

 My husband thought this was very strange that I decided to post pictures of the toilet. I made extra spiders and bugs from my post on Day 9 and so I took them and stuck them on the toilet to scare the grand kids. I know I'm a mean grandma. I didn't intend for this to be one of my Scarefest posts but I have been sick for the last couple of days and so this is what you get today.

*Please don't give up on me, come back tomorrow and see my cute mummy DIY

 These were cut out from Vinyl but you can purchase stickers like this at craft stores and the dollar stores. 

Teapot Crawlies

Day 9

 For this you can use any teapot. Get one at a thrift store, garage sale or DI. The older the better. Mine is not old and after I was finished I wish I would have gotten an older one.

 Then go ahead and add your bugs. You can do this a couple of different ways. You can use a stencil, and color in with a sharpie and then bake at *350 for 30 minutes. You can also check out the dollar or craft stores for stickers. I used a Silhouette and cut out mine.

Chandelier

 Day 5

 We are already on day 5 and I want to thank all of you for your comments and visits. This project is one of my favorites.

I think Chandeliers and Halloween just go together. First if you are lucky enough to have such and awesome wall as this, you just got to put a chandelier on it. My son and his wife painted and stained this wall and then painted the bricks on the wall to make it look old. I love it. If you want to see more of their work go here.

I then got a chandelier from Silhouette and cut it out. I had to do it in two separate pieces because it was to large.

Day 3

 I made this bag from a tutu and a bag I picked up from the dollar store.

Family Name Sign

Here is a really neat rustic looking family name sign from"The Whims of Tim"

I love the look and the simplicity of it. Love how she took one sign and turned it into a completely new sign. Never would have guessed.

Simple Family Name Sign

This sign was super easy! All you need is a board, paint, stencils or vinyl. 

I used vinyl. 

I started with a board that I found at a dollar store. I had to sand the old design off. You could use a board that's already plain but I liked that this board had hooks and a stand to use already. I painted black over the vinyl of our last name.

After that I used vinyl as a stencil and painted the saying in red.
It was that simple. I really love how it turned out.

Personalized Spray Bottles

Whenever my grand-kids are over, they love to get out my spray bottle. They squirt it into the sink, the tub, my plants, or anywhere outside. Problem is, they always were fighting over it. So the other day I went to the dollar store and bought three spray bottles. I used my Silhouette and some Expressions Vinyl I then cut out their names and put them on the bottles. You should have seen their faces, you would have thought it was Christmas. If I would have known that this would make them so excited, I could have saved money at Christmas and just given them these! LOL!

2x4 Wood Flag

 Making this flag started out as my project and then my husband kind of just took over. Ha ha!

 

It started by me asking him to cut out some wood. Each flag needed six pieces. Two 7" and four 3 1/2 " After cutting them out and stacking a flag together the two pieces that would be blue were a little taller than the stripes. He didn't really like this so he cut those two pieces so they were flush with what would be the stripes.

Birthday Board

I know these are done all the time but I wanted to show you my take on it.

I started out with a board that my husband cut for me. I then placed the vinyl on. (Vinyl was purchased from Expressions Vinyl)

Next I took some small hooks and screwed them into the bottom.

For my board, I didn't want the names hanging all down the wall, so I printed out all the names with the birth date. I then took clear contact paper and covered them. Next I cut them all out. I bought some binder rings, punched holes in the names and added them to the rings!

I was so excited about my finished product. Now I have to make me one. I gave this to my mother for mothers day!
