Sorry Hooters!
I completely forgot to post the Fall projects last month before Thanksgiving. My sister, brother-in-law, and I each painted these cute little resin décor pieces. We then formed a simple fall display on our seasonal window ledge. It was a pretty fun project that took about two days to complete due to the waiting period for the paint to dry.
It’s my FAVORITE holiday of all time; Happy Halloween Hooters!
Given the current circumstances of the pandemic and all of the restrictions varying nationwide, I hope everyone is still able to enjoy this festive day. This month I did a few fun crafts with my family and even guided my sister with her first beautiful wreath. All of our crafts were Pinterest inspired, cheap, easy, and straightforward. The projects came out great for the most part- I suck at painting, so I’m not happy with my canvas. Ha! But hey, it was fun considering we enjoyed a couple of “beverages” while crafting.

Hey guys,
Here is a quick, easy, simple, and cute crafting project to spice up your refrigerators, blackboards, or whatever else you can attach a magnet to.
I started making and selling these magnets a few years ago- some of the quickest money I’ve ever made. Although most supplies can be found at your local Dollar Tree, I found mine at Joann. The essential design is within whatever fabric or card-stock paper you choose to use. Joann and Michaels have a great selection of both fabric and card-stock, so that shouldn’t be hard to find. Of course, other stores carry decorative paper, but these are my preferred crafting stores.
Listed below are the simple supplies and steps to achieve these magnets:
Supplies include:
-Large clear flat marbles
-Mod Podge
-Small sponge
-Magnets
-Hot glue gun w/ sticks or E6000
-Fabric and/or decorative card-stock paper
-Scissors
-Water soluble pencil- (doesn’t matter just something to trace with)
— and a dab of PATIENCE!
Lets get to it:
-Step 1: Gather all of your supplies, clean your marbles, and dry them
-Step 2: Trace marbles on desired pattern of fabric or paper
-Step 3: Cut out the shape
-Step 4: Take your Mod Podge and sponge then apply to the back of the marble
-Step 5: Apply the cut piece of fabric or paper and seal it with the Mod Podge
-Step 6: Allow the marble to dry and then attach the magnet using your hot glue gun or E6000 (I recommend E6000 due to its strength- it does take a while to dry)
-Viola! You have successfully completed your first marble magnet so keep going!
For those who don’t know me, I’m an extreme crafting freak. Since I was younger I’ve always had the gift of being creative. Crafting has always been one of my “happy places” but I will say I have been slacking due to work. I can’t express my gratitude of the coronavirus pandemic enough. I was very appreciative of my time off from work because I was able to do everything I loved the most. Please keep in mind, I will not be explaining each step in depth for my crafts but rather posting simple descriptions and pictures of the process.
One of my first crafts included all items from my local Dollar Tree store. I came across the tutorial a while ago on one of my favorite DIY YouTube channels, Dazzling Designs By Denise. It was a cheap, simple, fun, and easy craft to make with my sister plus, it was super cute! Very pleased with the added decor to my bathroom.
