DIY ~ Painted Wooden Spoons

I absolutely LOVE how these turned out!!!

I have to make a pair to keep myself now!

WHAT YOU NEED:

wooden spoons

acrylic craft paint

clear coat

mini paint brush

First start by painting the big blocks of color.

Follow my spoons for ideas.

Taking a super small paint brush make your designs using black paint once your colors are dry.

 Once they are fully dry, cover the top spoon part and clear coat the handles so they are washable!

 

These are for sale in my shop now!

WHAT YOU NEED:

hot glue gun

craft paper

First clip clothes pins all the way around your mirror in a tight circle fan.

Take your glue gun and on the back glue all the clothes pins together.

It doesn't have to look too nice because we will cover the back. 

Just make sure you stay near the center where the back of the mirror is.

 For the back, make a loop with your wire and hot glue gun it to the back of the mirror.

DIY ~ Upcycled Hoop Earrings

I just replaced my silver hoop earrings, but didn't want to throw my old one's out...I mean...they still work!

Here is what I did to spruce them up!

YOU WILL NEED:

hoop earrings any size or shape

embroidery floss

hot glue gun

First pick your thread colors and plan what pattern your gonna do.

I used bakers twine on one set and 3 colors of floss on the others.

Start at the end with the clasp on it.

Put a spot of glue and attach the end of your floss.

Start wrapping and wrapping and wrapping.

To add another color just end one color with a glue spot and cut it, then start your new string in the same glue spot.

That's it!
