Mod Podge Mania!!!

Welcome friends! I hope you're all having a beautiful weekend! Mine has been jam packed with cramming to get my mod podge projects done...it kind of snuck up on me this month!

Let's recap the rules. Link up any mod podge project you'd like to share. It can be an old post or a new one. It can be your own idea, or one you saw somewhere else you'd like to share...just remember to give credit where credit is due!

Please include a link back to my blog in your post so that others will know where to come check out some more great projects! Then make sure to go visit as many other mod podge maniacs as you can! Can't wait to see what you've all come up with this month!!

For me, I wanted to make over some end tables for my Living Room Redo project with Shortmama that I'll be posting about later on. I wanted them to match the chest I did for last month's Mod Podge Mania. To see the chest go here.

I started out with these end tables that we got for FREE from a work associate of my husband's who got new furniture. I knew they would be great for a future project. We've had them in the bedroom as nightstands, but I swapped them out with the ones from the living room.



I mod podged brown paper onto the tops and spray painted the bottoms black. I also darkened both the table tops and the trunk with brown shoe polish per The Masked Mommy's suggestion last month.






I love how they turned out and how they coordinate with the trunk.


Next up I have these little chairs that went with desk sets my older kids got for Christmas years ago that they have long since outgrown. Monkey LOVES little chairs that are just her size, so I decided to "cute" one up for her!



I used some colorful scrapbook paper, along with the help of my trusty cricut and came up with this:


I took these pictures while it was still drying, so you can still see some white where the glue hasn't totally dried, and some ripples that haven't settled yet.

It's not perfect, but she ADORES it. It has been a nightmare trying to keep her off of it until it dries completely!

Now I turn it over to you ladies! Let's see all your fabulousness!

Great job....

I would love to do a wall with the brown paper bags but have never gotten up the nerve to do it!

I love to take something and redo it....

I love that the tables coordinate with the trunk! Good job! The chair is precious. (Do ripples settle? I just threw out two attempts earlier in the week because they rippled up immediately...)

Mod Podge Mania definitely snuck up on me also!! But thankfully I had some projects that I already knew I wanted to share, so I didn't have to squeak anything out last minute...I just had to write the post!

Love the chair! I've been thinking about doing some Mod Podge with paper on the little table that we have in our play room. Let me know how well it holds up with all the use it gets. Are you going to put some sort of finish on it?
Sturgmom said…
The chair is so awesome!! I love the tables too. Did you cover them the same way as the trunks, with the crinkled paper?

Hand Made for Fall - A party and a Giveaway!

I've been a busy girl! I have been wanting to do a giveaway for Fall, and when my fab friend Heidi revealed that her Monthly Craft Challenge for October would be Fall-themed crafts, I thought "YES! I will do a giveaway of Fall items - handmade by me!" So today I'm linking up with Heidi , and introducing my Handmade For Fall Giveaway as I show you what I've made for Heidi's party ! Sound good? First, a while back I showed you some coasters that I made, but it was clear back when I first started blogging, so I'm going to show you again with this new seasonal set! This idea has been floating around blog land, and I've seen several different variations. Here's how I do it. You will need: paper napkins, 4x4 ceramic tiles, 4x4 cork squares, MOD PODGE (what else?), sponge brushes (not shown), and polyurethane (not shown). Start by cutting your napkin down to a manageable size, slightly bigger than your tile. Next spread a layer of mod podg onto the t

Friend Makin' Monday and 100th post giveaway!

I just love Mondays! If you've never heard of Friend Makin' Monday , go to Kasey's to read all the rules and join in! I have met some of my best bloggy friends through FMM ! This week's task is to complete the following tag: 5 Senses Tag We are to list 4 things we love, and one thing we dislike, for each sense. Smell Like: 1. Pot roast in the oven! 2. Sunkissed Citrus Scentsy, and Melon Medley from the Walmart knock-off scents! 3. rubbing alcohol (I know, I need help) 4. along those same lines...nail polish and nail polish remover. Dislike: coffee Touch Like: 1. The click, click of the keyboard beneath my fingers! 2. back massage from my husband - he has magic hands! 3. an ice cold soda can on the back of my neck on a hot summer day! 4.Hot showers Dislike: Hot glue on my fingertips! Occupational hazard for me! Sound 1. My baby (okay she's 2 now!) whispering "secrets" in my ear. 2. My kiddo's giggles. 3. My husband's singing. He has a very nice si
