What!?!? Photos on Metal!

Ok, so I really wanted to justify buying a whole jar of Gel Medium after doing my Photos on Wood and I tried researching online what else to use it on. I found some tutorial for glass (which I might do later on down the road) and some more projects on wood. Well, that wasn’t different enough for me…so I decided to experiment...HA! Check out my Craft Inspirations and DIY tab to find out how to make it. BTW, the metal shingle only costed me 33 cents! It looks really cool.

How to Put Photos on Wood

Well, it feels like forever that I've posted anything on my blog...I can't believe summer is coming to an end. I am just finishing up my latest project, Photos on wood. I had no idea that it would come out in color but to my surprise it did! I found this idea on pinterest but finally decided to do some. Check out the Craft Inspirations and DIY! Make sure you use regular paper (not photo paper) and use a laser printer (not an inkjet printer,) it's a common question I'm getting.

Removable Snap On & Off Lace Shorts

Lace shorts are emerging everywhere! These are so cute and trendy right now. I was scared to commit to sew lace on my shorts so I found a way to have the best of both worlds. DIY Snap On/Off Lace shorts. Now my shorts that can be worn with or without lace. Your favorite shorts can have two different looks. Very cute and you don’t have to give-up your favorite pair of shorts. Check out the Craft Inspirations and DIY to make some for yourself. I LOVE MINE!!! I've worn them like three the past week, hehe!

Yucky Ceiling Fan

So, as you can see, my ceiling fans REALLY needed to be cleaned...YUCK!!! I have one of those special bristled brushes made for fan blades but it just makes the dust go EVERYWHERE. I saw on pinterest that you can use a pillow case but I also sprayed some dusting spray so that it would really look good and so that the dust would cling onto the pillowcase. I was amazed how cleaned it looked...I did the other fans in the house immediately! 

I used an old flannel pillowcase I haven't used in years which worked perfect for this job. I sprayed the inside with Pledge and then I got up onto of my bed and placed the fan blade inside like it was a sock. I kind of was rubbing the p.c. while it was on so that I can get the under side good and around the brackets. Slowly pull off and Ta Da!!! Minimal dust fell down...YAY! I went ahead and washed my linens afterwards just to make sure...sans pillow case of course...haha. 

4th of July Yummy S'more Pops

Here's my specialty....these yummy S'more Pops. They are super fun to make and easy. Everyone loves how they don't get their fingers dirty and full of chocolate/marshmallowy mess after eating them.

You’ll need:

Marshmallows

Graham Crackers

Chocolate

Lollipop sticks/Desert sticks

Kitchen Torch or Candle

1.   Melt your chocolate in a little bowl on low power in the microwave for 45 seconds. Stir chocolate.

2. Dip half of marshmallow into melted chocolate.

3. Dip into crumbled graham crackers.

4. Place them on wax paper and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to harden chocolate.

5. Remove from refrigerator and use a kitchen torch (not very common,haha) or an unscented candle to roast the other half of the marshmallow.

6.   Place stick in marshmallow and enjoy!!!!

How-To for my Dinner Menu Board

It's now up and in good use! It's already been so helpful in my house. In the Craft Inspirations and DIY tab, you will find how I made so you can get an idea. Make it cute, pretty and make it YOURS!!! If you are naturally super organized, you might not need this but I sure did, haha! Don't you hate when you plan your meals for the week while shopping and when it comes down to making your meal you forgot to buy something....ugh! I really needed a menu board since I'm a little forgetful at times, hehehe.  

I admit...I need to add more embellishments to it, but I'm waiting until I come across something I really like rather than just throw some on there. Since this project has lots of steps, I decided to make the more detailed instructions available on Google Docs.

Remember when you are making yours, do it to fit your personality and customize it however you want. I fell in love with these colors and I didn't realize that it ended up matching my dining room...ha!
