Pin-spiration Monday #17: Fabric Origami

One of the things that I would love to learn how to do is fabric origami. Origami is the traditional Japanese art of paper folding. However, you can use fabric in place of paper. On Pinterest I have found some amazing fabric origami projects.

So for this week for Pin-spiration Monday, we are going to focus on fabric origami

Pin-spiration Monday #15: Mod Podge

While on my Pinterest boards, I started to notice that some of my boards are over flowing with many different project ideas. I have decided to start doing some organizing. One of the things I am doing  is group them more specific by project ideas, technique, or the type of material. For example, I have a board that is all Mason Jars & More, a board that is just Washi Tape,  a board that is Fabric, and so on.  It helps me stay organized with my blogging and my creative endeavor.

It is not 100% finished, but it is still good.

So for this week for Pin-spiration Monday, we are going to focus on the ever so popular Mod Podge! I love Mod Podge and the things you can do with it.

And yes, I have a board for Mod Podge called Mod Podge & Decoupage

Oh how I love these! I am going to make a set of these for camping. These will look so cute hanging up around the camper and the site. Please make note in the directions that it is best to use LED lights, so that it does not melt the plastic. I would not use the ordinary lights. Also, you many need to push the translate button at the top of the site since it is written in another language.

Decoupaging with Lace

Here is another very cute idea! Using lace and Mod Podge to decoupage glass containers or bowls. It gives it nice texture. I love the look of it. This is something that I am going to have to try. It is garage sale season here in Michigan. I am sure I can find some glass bowls and lace. Or I could go to Ikea!

Pinterest Monday #10: Crochet

First off, I would like to say that my thoughts goes out to the runners and their families in Boston during the marathon. How very sad that this tragedy has happen.

Secondly, you will notice that I have not been posting many projects. They are coming. I have been fighting an sinus infection...what a nice spring welcome...Not! Also, my craft room is in the process of being rearranged which is turning out to be a mess. I keep asking myself why I am doing this since we will be moving in less than a year. But I must be organized and when I do not feel organized, I feel like a caotic mess! Not a Creative Mess...Ha!

Anyways...don't worry, I will have my work up in no time.

For this week, I found some really cute crochet stuff. So for Pinterest Monday we are going to focus on crochet.
