My TV loving Dad's birthday gift and easy grocery bag!


Mod-Podged Vase





This was originally a clear vase but I Mod-Podged it and added blue and purple flowers...the colors of my room :)


Mod-Podged Door


This is my door in my bedroom! :)

Mod-Podged Candy Jar


 I made this for Christmas for my workout and basketball loving brother Tyler :)

Mod-Podged Birdhouse





 I made this for my Grandma. It started as a wooden birdhouse and then I Mod-Podged on gardeny things my grandma loves!

Decorated Letter

For secret santa on the Pom team I took a plain letter, painted it pink, and then added zebra scrapbook paper and pictures. 

Mod Podged Lamps






This was my first time using Mod Podge. I used old magazines and pearls and feathers for this fun lamp :)


DIY Garter




For my senior year prom I couldn't find any garter that really went with my dress so I decided to make my own. First I bought fabric and cut it to my desired length and width. Next I hand sewed a seam and added a black fabric with lace over. Finally I sewed the jeweled button and added some rhinestones for a little extra bling!

String and Pebble Craft

First I bought a black canvas. Then I poked little nails into the outline of the word "shine." Next I took string and wrapped it around in a bunch of different ways...and tada! :)

Glamified Luggage


This luggage started out an ugly olive green. With the help of some scrapbook paper, Mod-Podge, fabric and jewels, I turned it into this fun decorative luggage.

Glamified Kitchen Chair!

I'm living in an apartment next year with three other girls. Each of us are taking an old boring chair and decorating it to match our personalities. This is what I came up with using paint chip samples!

Before                                                After



For my personal chair, I wanted to make it fun, girly, and glittery! I started by sanding and painting the chair burgundy. Next, I used Mod Podge ® to adhere randomly colored paint chips (free!) to the seat and back of the chair. I measured the boxes to be 1 ½ inches apart. To cover up the numbers on the paint chips, (ex. K12), I attached gems that best matched that paint square. The variety of colored hearts down one leg of the chair are paint chips, and the flowers you see where you rest your back are paint chips as well. To make the flowers I cut out 12 heart shapes from the paint chips and attached them at the center with a gem.
            Also on the back of the chair are four 3-inch fabrics weaved in and out of the spindles and tied at one end.  Old magazines were cut up and made into a collage that was attached using Mod Podge ®. Other materials used to decorate the chair include: lacy fabric, beads, ribbon, fake flowers, buttons, scrapbook paper and feathers. The best part about this project is it was so cheap and there were so many possibilities! I hope you like it!
