Cute ideas!


I was browsing the internet yesterday when I came upon this little darlin’. It is a cute ‘stuff’-bucket-tote in hot pink . It exudes feminine charm & is really functional to tidy the messiest of scrap areas at the same time. The great thing about it is that it supports breast cancer, so if you want to find out more about getting yourself one, pop over here & take a look.

Another cool idea I saw over at Woman’s Day Magazine is giving store-bought picture frame a custom & really funky feel, using either fabric or patterned paper.  Perfect for family photos or gifts for friends.

Directions:
1. Open back of the frame and remove mat. Place the mat on the back side of the fabric or patterned paper. Using the pencil and ruler, mark lines around the perimeter of the mat, 3/4 inch from edges.

2. Mark diagonal lines in an X shape to opposite corners of mat opening. Cut along the lines of the X.

3. Apply a layer of Mod Podge or glue to the front and back of the mat. Center the front of the mat over the back side of the fabric or patterned paper. Wrap the edges around to the back of the mat, trimming as needed; let it dry completely.

4. Insert mat and artwork into frame and secure in place.

Well that’s all for now folks!
Have yourself a super day!
