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

Handmade Mod Podge Checkerboard

I love this cute checkerboard! It is a great way to upcycle items that normally get thrown away. The creator of this uses items such as a small, shallow wooden box that used to hold toys, bottle caps, and scrapbook paper. Yes of course Mod Podge!

DIY String of Lights

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!

Bonus!

Word Press

It is hard to believe that it is June already! Time flies...

OK, a few things...

I know that I have not done the last 2 Pin-spiration Mondays, it will resume this Monday.

Earlier this week, I changed the domain name. However, I had to change it back to the original name due to working with WordPress through a hosting company. With that said, yes I will be moving to WordPress. I will still have the same email address and the same social media. I will be sure to let you know when it is official for the move. It will be some time since I need to learn WordPress and to design my blog.

Lastly,  I have decided that along with my creative endeavors, I will also do reviews. I am really enjoying being an Influencer. Be sure to check out my disclosure page. Once I have WordPress up and running I will be offering advertising spaces at great prices.

I am looking forward to this exciting adventure in blog land. I am grateful to my readers who have supported me and I do hope that you will continue to follow me through this transition to WordPress.

Be sure to follow me on the Social Network!
