SarahDesign } DIY thrifty crafting goodness. Wednesday, April 13, 2011. Round platter . or something (decoupage). Wow, it's been 6 months since my last entry. I apologize profusely to my one, maybe two, readers. :P. I have an excuse! Holidays took over, then we decided to start house-hunting.you know.just to get an idea of what was out there. Then on our 3rd trip out, we found the perfect house! Here's how it went:. Cut out the circle. Glued circle to top of platter. Easy to fix though! I'm not sure this...

SarahDesign } DIY thrifty crafting goodness. Wednesday, November 24, 2010. Halloween: Bats and Spiders, oh my! A little late for a Halloween entry since Thanksgiving is tomorrow, but these were too fun to wait until next year to post! My 25 year old had fun creating these with me, though she was a bit heavy handed with that fun black paint. Blackest bats, ever! Black tempera paint and brushes. Two sizes of styrofoam balls. Black paint and brushes. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Chip, chip, HOORAY!

{ SarahDesign } DIY thrifty crafting goodness: Padded hangers
http://sguilliot.blogspot.com/2010/11/padded-hangers.html
SarahDesign } DIY thrifty crafting goodness. Sunday, November 07, 2010. I whipped three of these babies out while watching a movie- quick and easy! Wrap the plastic bags around the hanger (all except the hook part). Use tape to secure the bags as you go and try to keep the padding even. When you begin wrapping, leave a foot-long tail hanging loose. Start at the top of the hanger just below the hook area and start wrapping your way around. Tie the two "tails" into a pretty bow and trim as needed. The Wrap...

SarahDesign } DIY thrifty crafting goodness. Friday, April 27, 2012. Embroidered pillow cases upcycled from clearance shams. I was at Bed Bath and Beyond the other day and found some clearance pillow shams marked down to $10 for a pair. They were sized for a regular bed pillow, but looked like they could be adapted to the size of a small square throw pillow instead. Namely, the throw pillows on my couch! I'm loving how these came out! Links to this post. Wednesday, April 11, 2012. Anyhoo, on to my post.

{ SarahDesign } DIY thrifty crafting goodness: Glass Etching with stencils
http://sguilliot.blogspot.com/2010/11/glass-etching-with-stencils.html
SarahDesign } DIY thrifty crafting goodness. Wednesday, November 24, 2010. Glass Etching with stencils. Glass etching sounded so intimidating to me until I tried it. It's actually very easy! I created this whimsical dragonfly-etched champagne flute in less than an hour. The shape of your glass surface is important. Don't make my mistakes :). Easy = Flat (mirror). Harder = Curved (tube). Materials (Michael's carries all the etching things):. Glass (get a few, you'll want to do lots! Chip, chip, HOORAY!

{ SarahDesign } DIY thrifty crafting goodness: Card variety pack
http://sguilliot.blogspot.com/2010/11/card-variety-pack.html
SarahDesign } DIY thrifty crafting goodness. Friday, November 05, 2010. My mother is the queen of card giving and Hallmark gets all her business. Last year at Christmas, I thought it would be nice to switch things up, so I created a "pack" of 6 handmade cards for her. She loved them, but hasn't used any because she claims they are "too pretty". That's my kind of complaint! No instructions here, just some card layout ideas if you want some inspiration. Its the ultimate compliment :). Chip, chip, HOORAY!

http://sguilliot.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
SarahDesign } DIY thrifty crafting goodness. Friday, May 25, 2012. The other day on Pinterest, I came across a site called Figgie Shoes. Where the owner paints custom designs on shoes (heels / flats for weddings, baby, etc.). I had to try it *immediately! I think the artist at Figgie Shoes uses a paint brush, but I am not as skilled in that arena so decided to try it with ink and paint pens instead. What do you think? After the above pair, I was itching for more. I dashed down the hall to my 2 year o...
