http://simplehomemanaging.blogspot.com/2014/05/surprise-girls-room-makeover-on-budget.html
Tuesday, May 6, 2014. Surprise Girl's Room Makeover on a Budget. I have been scheming behind my daughter's back planning a surprise room makeover that was indeed a big surprise, and. Now I get to share the results with you! I decided it would be fun to surprise Haley with a new room for her birthday. Since she decided to not have a party this year, I could allocate those funds to make a special new room for our special girl. Here is a before pic:. I also added this rotating art station on the wall adjace...

http://theartgirljackie-tutorials.blogspot.com/2013/08/my-favorite-diy-art-journal.html
My Favorite DIY Art Journal. My bags are packed and I'm all ready to go jetting off half way around the world. I leave tomorrow morning with a team of friends on a mission trip to Cambodia. I wanted to share with you real quick the art journal I made to take on the trip. Then when I get back I'll share some of the things I created inside the wonderful pages. All pages were cut to 8.5"x11". I used the same WeldBond glue to adhere the binding of the pages to the cover I sewed. Sorry there's not more detail...

Tie Dye T-Shirts with Sharpie Markers! It was Red Ribbon week at my daughter's school this week and their first dress up day was tie dye t-shirts and wouldn't you know she didn't have anything tie dye in her closet. So we decided to do a little art project together and make something with what we had on hand. I have seen several different examples and directions for this on the internet so we took what we found from various searches and modified it just a little bit. PS remember that complimentary colors...

theartgirljackie-tutorials: Making a Bible Cover
http://theartgirljackie-tutorials.blogspot.com/2011/11/making-bible-cover.html
Making a Bible Cover. In this tutorial I used: scraps of upholstry and decorative fabrics, leather, a magnetic button snap closure and an old mini picture frame. I started by sketching out ideas for a pattern. I measured the length, width and thickness of my Bible and added a little extra for hemming the edges and folding over the inside fabric to make the pockets. With a pencil and ruler I marked the cut lines on the inside of my green lining fabric. I pieced together my leather, trim, and scrap strip.

theartgirljackie-tutorials: Air Dry Clay: Tiny Houses and Ring Holders
http://theartgirljackie-tutorials.blogspot.com/2014/01/air-dry-clay-tiny-houses-and-ring.html
Air Dry Clay: Tiny Houses and Ring Holders. Air dry clay is so easy to work with and the possibilities of things you can make with it are endless. It is more expensive than regular clay but you don't have to have access to a kiln to fire it and if you use a 40% off coupon at Michaels the price is not too bad for making quite a few of these small projects. The first was a series of Tiny Houses. Let it dry overnight. Then paint with acrylic paints. Seal with clear acrylic spray. Then came the Ring Holders.

theartgirljackie-tutorials: Getting the Looking Glass Effect

Getting the Looking Glass Effect. I'm in love with this project and can't wait to make more glamorous sparkly things! Here's what I did:. First of all you will need clear glass objects to work with. You will also need a water bottle and a well-ventillated area to spray paint. I hung my glass ornaments by string on my easel and set it up in my backyard. Spritz the ornaments with the water bottle. Spray them evenly with the Krylon Looking Glass spray paint. I love how it reminds me of antique mirrored glass.
