glitter jar!

It's sunday and I was typically looking for something to "glitter-fy" today. I went searching down in the basement to find this little plain clear glass jar. Heres what you'll need: loose glitter, a jar, elmers glue, water, and a thick painting tool(like a styrafoam brush).

 

Mix together on a plate 50/50 mix of water and elmers glue. Use the styrafoam brush to mix it up then brush it onto the jar and sprinkle glitter immediately. Do one side at a time. Once finished let dry for 10 minutes and go over the whole jar with more of the water/elmers glue mix to seal. 

magnetic make up board!

Im so so so excited for this one! Ive been wanting to make this for quite some time now and I finally remembered to get the stuff i need for it. I dont know if you can tell in the picture but I pained the outer edge black (got the paint at walmart for 89 cents) and used some loose purple glitter that I got at dollar tree (it came with 5 other colors so thats a AWESOME deal) and then I purchased magnet strips from walmart (89 cents as well) oh yeah I forgot to mention i bought the cookie sheet at dollar tree too. So I made this for under 5 dollars. The magnetic strips come with sticky stuff on the back so I only used those on the light items like eyeshadows. The heavier items i had to hot glue gun them to the back. Most of my makeup never leaves the house with me so im okay with it having a magnet glued to the back. This will be so much more convient than my cluttered make up bag!

sunday project: ROCK MAGNETS

I like to get all kinds of crafty on sundays, it makes me feel like I did something productive. So I did this. I was looking at magnets for the fridge for my son but I thought this could be a diy project and this is what I came up with. rock magnets! I cleaned and dried rocks and used a sharpie to write each letter. Then, I used my hot glue gun to glue magnets to the back and there you go,

Now im just hoping my son plays with them instead of eat them. Happy Sunday :)
