Mason Jar Flower Vase

I love being able to up cycle or recycle or whatever you want to call it, especially Mason jars. 

For this project, I used two napkins from McDonald’s and mod podge to the jar. I then used Apple Barrel acrylic paint in Nutmeg Brown and painted over the napkins. 

Once it was dried, I placed styrofoam inside the jar with purple Easter moss. I used purple ribbon and a “cherish” decor items from the Dollar Tree. 

I added two bouquets of African violets (freebie from Temu). I think it turned out gorgeous. 

 

Quilt Top…

 Baby Blanket

Quilting is such a fun hobby to learn. I started quilting about 20+ years ago. I let it lay by the wayside for years while I stayed busy in crocheting and crafting. 

But, since I’ve found Temu and noticed they sale pre-cut squares, it has made me want to quilt again. They offer a wide variety of different square sizes. I absolutely love the 10” square size. 

On this patchwork quilt, I’m rotating the rows between pink and blue. 

How cute is this?

Happy Quilting!!!! 

Repurpose Tissue Box

Repurpose Tissue Box

I decided to repurpose this tissue box into a storage container.

First, I used popsicle sticks glued completely around all 4 sides to add sturdiness. I painted it several colors before setting on the final color(s).  

Second, I used 2 pieces of jute rope braided and made handles for each side. Repeat for second side. 

Third, I added a cute “saying” with a glue backing to the center of one side. I then took 5 pieces of pink ribbon, zip tied the center, glued a button on top and then glued the whole piece over the saying. 

Last, I glued beaded rope beads around the bottom and top just to add a little bling to my project.

Everything for this project came from the Dollar Tree.

Happy Craftng…

I’m working on this beautiful blend of orange and yellow cotton fabric for a quilt top for an upcoming fall baby.  The colors are so pretty together. 

Each block is 10” x 10”.  

Happy quilting!!!
