{ Easy Magnets }


Cardboard circles
Scrapbook paper

Magnets ( I used these ones, but I would recommend stronger ones)
Mod podge the cardboard circles to the scrapbook paper. Or you could glue them.

Cut off the extra paper, cut magnets to size and stick on (these ones had adhesive already on them)

Easy as one, two, three. :)

{ old beat up mirror }


I bought this mirror for $2.00
Spay painted it black.

I put a quote on the mirror with scrapbook rub-ons and decided i didnt like it. So i took them off.
But left the one on the bottom.

{ Salt & Pepper shakers }





I mod podged paper on to the salt & pepper shakers.


Made an S & P

Mod Podged the S & P to the shaker.

And there they are the new salt and pepper shakers.
Re-done Frames
I just went and got a bunch of frames for like $1.00 ish
Some where brown, pink, white, blue, yellow.
(i forgot to take pictures of them before but they where much like this one)
I spray painted them all black.
Then put mine and Jake's art in them.
Wooden Letters.
What you need:
-Wood letters (you can get these at any craft store, and walmart)
-Scrapbook paper
-Scissors
-Mod podge
-Foam brush, or paint brush



Cover the entire front surface of the wood letter with mod podge, then put the paper on.
let dry.
Cut the paper away with scissors, then use a razor blade to get in the small places you cant get with the scissors. Some people also put another coat of mod podge over the paper, I didnt.
I took a piece of Halloween ribbon and just tied a little bow on to the L.

{ Bottle Cap Magnets }


What you need:

-Scrapbook paper, flowers, pictures etc... that you want to put in the bottle cap.
-Bottle caps
-Scissors
-Epoxy/resin
-Super glue or hot glue
-Magnets
-A plastic tub with a lid (optional)



Cut whatever you want in the bottle cap to fit inside the bottle cap.
-Some people glue it in first, i didnt.

Use Epoxy or resin, I used Epoxy in the syringe. (you are to put equal amounts on to a piece of cardboard and mix the two halves together and then put it in or on your project) I just put both strait into the bottle cap and then mixed it with a toothpick.

I used a little tub that I bought at the dollar store and just set the lid on to dry (so nothing got into the epoxy). Normally takes about 8 hours for it to harden.
After the epoxy hardened (I let it sit over night) I super glued the magnets to the back of the bottle caps & let it dry.
....and then your done.
