I think that trip single handedly led to my self-diagnosis of ADD. "Ooohhh scrapbook paper, OMG a whole book of EUROPE! $20 for paper? Sure! And there's a hatbox with a European map. I'll totally have a craftbox now! Ooohhh glass bowls! And ill buy those clear stones and fill them up..." This continued for about an hour and looked something like this...
So afterwards I tried FIVE stores for mason jars. BTW-Super Center walmart in the 'burbs. Don't try the one in a downtown city. When you ask them if they have mason jars they'll look at you like you have six heads.
So here's what I did this afternoon...
DIY decoupage map letter
I plan on visiting Cali this summer. So I found a wooden letter, traced it over a map with the places I'll be visiting. A little mod podge and voila! Its now hanging on my bedroom wall.
My inspiration for this came from here
This picture is before I smoothed it out more. I found out you really need to give it time to dry and push all the little bubbles out. But totally worth it! I might go buy more and do my whole name in places I want to visit, or have visited.
My second project was my own idea. The craft store sold sheets of corkboard. I thought hmmm Proby could use some coasters. Especially since the boy constantly spills beer. So a little corkboard, some London themed scrapbook paper, the all mighty mod podge and voila!
Here is a step by step guide if you want to make some. These also used tiles whereas mine were just corkboard. If I hadn't been driving like a maniac searching for mason jars I probably would've also stopped for tile. Which looked something like this....
