DIY PET BOWLS for MY DOG

I have a dog whose name is Nancy. She is a part of my family, and I love finding new ways to show my love and affection. So I decide to make a personalized pet bowl for her. I don't want dog bones – I want something that fits my style and doesn't stand out like a sore thumb in my home. I decide on one pattern to create in fun, playful color palettes for the pet bowl.

Supplies:

• small, plain ceramic or glass bowls
• acrylic craft paints
• paper plates
• sponge
• scissors
• pencil
• paper towels

Before I start I make sure to wash and dry the bowls thoroughly to remove any debris. After squirting some paints (neon pink, olive green, and black) on a paper dish I dive right into a grid-like dot pattern. Using a pencil eraser dipped into the paint I freehand a pattern of five by four dots in the olive green. I then repeat the process with the neon pink and black, staggering the grid by skipping a dot-sized width and moving the pattern down one row.

The end result remind me of that pure sugar dot candy of our childhoods! And I'd be lying if I don't admit I kind of want my own bowl now just like this.

Now, my dog Nancy eat its food in this bowl. Though she may not notice what they are eating out of, I'd like to think that I’m WOW-ing them a little with my effort.

So, I decided to make beer coasters- perfect for a man cave, and relatively inexpensive! Although, that is assuming you can gather the six pack holders for free in your daily life without having to buy them just for this craft- like I did.

DIY Glass Tile Necklace

Want to know how to make a glass tile pendant? They're super easy – you can do this! Here's a brief tutorial.


First gather your supplies – you'll need:

–a glass tile
–a bail (that's the hook that goes on the back)
–paper or fabric design
–diamond glaze and a small paintbrush
–superglue
–a necklace to hang it on

First take your tile, and trace it onto your paper. Then cut it out slightly inside the lines with an exacto knife or scissors. Hold it up with your tile on top of it to check the size – you don't want any paper sticking out behind the edge. 

Next squirt your diamond glaze on the back of the tile – about pea size. Use a small paintbrush to spread it out – enough to coat the back of the tile but not so much that it's going to ooze.

Then while the diamond glaze is still wet set your paper face-down onto it. Rub the paper to get a really good seal. That will prevent bubbles being seen through the glass.

Let dry for 5-10 minutes or longer. Then squirt diamond glaze on the back of the paper and spread it out with a paintbrush to seal in your paper. Let dry several hours. Then using superglue, glue your bails to the back.

Finally use the necklace to hang on the glass tile. Now, it becomes the perfect personalized jewelry that you can put it on.

DIY Reversible Apron!

Today a funny diy reversible apron project will be shared to you. It is easy to make. Now let's get started!

For this project you will need:

- 2 yards of fabric (1 yard of each color)
- Coordinating thread
- Pins
- Scissors
- Sewing Machine
- Iron

Instructions:

1. If you do not have a pattern to work with, you can grab one of your old aprons and drew out a pattern onto a piece of poster board and cut it out.

2. Once my pattern was cut out, fold on piece of fabric in half and pinned your pattern to it. Be sure to align the folded side of the fabric to the long end of the pattern, that way when you cut it out you have a full apron piece. Repeat this process with the second fabric.

3. Using the scraps of fabric, cut out 2 strips of fabric for the neck ties and another 2 pieces for the back ties. Fold each strip of fabric in half so that the printed sides are facing each other and ironed them flat.

4. Finally get to sewing! Start with sewing the straps along the long end and one short end. Once all of the straps are sewn, turn them right side out and iron them flat again.

5. After the straps are ready, Place the two main pieces of fabric together, good side facing in. Then place the straps in between the main fabric and pin everything into place. Also pin the straps into place so they didn't end up getting sewn somewhere they were not suppose to be.

6. Sew around the entire apron with the exception of the bottom hem so that it can be easily turned right side out.

7. Once sewing is completed, turn the apron right side out and than fold the bottom hem in and sew it shut.

Finished! I think you will be pretty proud of your own custom apron!

Cutest DIY Doormat On the Block

If you want to keep your house clean, then the doormat is always needed. If you have spare time, you can try to make a personalized doormat by yourself. Now let's get started!

Materials:

- Basic doormat
- Spray paint in your choice color
- Marker
- Paper bag
- Scissors
- Tape
- Measuring tape

Instructions:

1. Create a Heart Stencil
Cut your brown paper bag so that it lies flat. Then draw on a half heart. Cut along your line and discard the center.

2. Take Measurements
Take a few simple measurements to make sure your heart stencil falls smack dab in the center of your doormat.Measure the length and width of your mat, and then divide those numbers in half. The center of your heart should fall right in the intersection of those two numbers.

3. Tape Down and Spray Away
Tape down your paper bag. Tap on the outside, and then create pieces of rolled tape to place on the underside of the bag. This helps achieve a more crisp line. Before you start spray painting, it's also a good idea to cover any exposed edges of the doormat with scrap paper. Finally, follow the instructions on your spray paint and go to town.

Wait for the spray paint to dry, remove the paper and place in front of your door. Pretty sweet, isn't it?

Making a Custom Photo Candle Holder

It is not difficult to make the custom photo candle holder. The first thing you need to do is to choose a favorite photo that you want to stick to the candle holder. Then follow the following steps.

Supplies:

- your chosen image printed on regular printing paper
- clear tape
- scissors
- a clear glass candle holder or small vase
- measuring tape
- Mod Podge
- foam brush
- any embellishments you like
- newspaper to protect your work surface

Instructions:

1. Measure the circumference and height of your candle holder. You want to make sure your image overlaps a little going around the candle holder, so add about 1/4 inch to the length.
For the height, subtract 1/8 inch from the top and bottom so you don’t have to worry about folding it over the glass (1/8 inch x 2 = 1/4 inch total). So all in all, you will add 1/4 inch to the length and subtract 1/4 inch from the height of your candle holder. This will be the final measurements for the size of your document in your imaging program.

2. Print the image on regular printing paper and cut it out with scissors.

3. Place a small amount of clear tape to one edge to get the image lined up well.

4. Put down some newspaper to protect your surface, if needed. Then unrolling it backwards, start adding some Mod Podge to the back while slowly wrapping it around.

5. Once the backing is glued, cover the front. Place your hand inside to hold it up while brushing a good coat of the Mod Podge over the entire surface. Make sure you get the edges well covered so they don’t curl back.

6. Let it dry and then add any embellishments you like.

That is how you make the personalized candle holder. You will be happy to see your favorite photo lit up as it brings back good memories.
