Mod Podge Monday- SHOES!

by 66 Comments

This week, I only had a tiny bit of Mod Podge left. I could have cried. Instead, I decided to put that little bit to good use! So, I Mod Podged some shoes. Yes, shoes!
I have seen some awesome ones around online, and I knew I just had to try it.

So, I went out and bought these pink shoes and some cute fabric.

(Please ignore my awful brown carpet)

Then, I started piecing the fabric and Mod Podging away (and falling in love more and more with the shoe by the second)

Here’s how they turned out.

I have an unhealthy love for shoes…And, I think these shoes just took that love to a brand new level.

So…Mod Podge and shoes. Huh. Who knew you could Mod Podge such random stuff?
What’s the craziest think you’ve ever used Mod Podge on?

I’m also adding this to Mod Podge Mania.

Mod Podge Monday-Simple Tin

For Mod Podge Monday, I decided to turn this simple guy

…into this.

It’s still pretty simple, right? Simple to make, and definitely simple as far as the eye goes.

All I did was mix some brown paint with some tan to make this great khaki color and painted the entire tin. Then, I cut out some paper for the lid (an “S” for my last name, of course) and some paper for the middle of the tin.

After that, I added some Mod Podge to not only the spots with the paper, but to the entire tin as well. It helped my paint have a little glossier finish. Of course, I couldn’t leave it sitting there looking all perfect after it dried, so I scraped some of the paint/Mod Podge off to make it look like its had a good life so far.

Apparently, I’m not the only one who liked how it turned out. This guy did, too.

What’s for Dinner?

by 8 Comments

My husband and I have been trying harder to meal plan. So far, it’s saved us a lot of money knowing what we’re going to eat before we go shopping.

Of course, the ripped paper on the fridge just didn’t do it for me. So, I cam up with this (sorry, another paper craft):

We absolutely love it! It’s so easy to write on with a dry erase marker and change them if I need to. No more crossed out dinners on my fridge list!

It was a cinch to make! I just took a piece of glass I had from an old frame, and mod podged (I love mod podge) letters and paper to the back. Then, I glued buttons on for the days. I wish I would have been borrowing the cricut still, because little written out week day names would have been cute. Oh well!

The Bottle Dilemma

My cute husband brought me a plain bottle home the other day. He told me that he had a “vision” of what I could do to it.
To be completely honest- I didn’t have the same vision. In fact, I had no idea what route I was going to go with that plain old bottle.
After lots of urging, Mr. Craft Pants finally talked me into trying his idea out.

First, I Mod Podged some paper onto the bottle. It looked cute, but a little plain. So, I added a bit of twine to it for a little more detail. Still, it looked too plain.
After adding the flower in, I still wasn’t happy. There was just too much empty space!
So, I raided the pantry and found some popcorn kernels-But, those were too yellow.

I decided to experiment by mixing the popcorn kernels with a bit of black stain from IKEA. That seemed to do the trick!

Since I am way too impatient, I didn’t let the kernels completely dry before putting them into the bottle. This stained the inside of the bottle black a little bit, and I absolutely love it!

Apparently, so did my parents’ dogs.

Isn’t my husband good at coming up with ideas?
