Stone Tile Coasters


here is really nothing like a personalized Valentine's gift and what better gift than something that is useful as it is beautiful. Coasters are not traditionally thought of as a glamorous gift for the holidays but make them special with images of loved ones or favorite paintings and you've got a gift that will be proudly displayed year round. A surefire conversation piece every living room deserves.

I have to say, back in the day, when I did this craft, I didn't have Craft Attitude decor film and used T-shirt transfer paper.  For the Marie show,  I used CraftAttitude and the results were much more reliable.  Although the film is transparent and picks up the stone's surface, it still shows the image clearly.  Plus you don't need an iron, just spray mount, so there is no chance of smudging the image.  I haven't seen how it wears yet, that is still yet to see.  It might not do as well with moisture...

Woah! I'm really enjoying the template/theme of this blog. It's simple, yet effective.
A lot of times it's challenging to get that "perfect balance" between user friendliness and visual appearance. I must say you have done a excellent job with this. Additionally, the blog loads extremely quick for me on Chrome. Outstanding Blog!

Frenchy Rat Ears Halloween Costume

Image
Ahh, Ratatouille!  One of the best movies in the whole world, and who couldn't  love rats after seeing how talented and cute they turn out to be?!  I just made these totally simple rat ears and beret for a Prop. 37 commercial.  Thought they would be a great last minute Halloween costume for any of you out there who might have a penchant for the gutter life. Rat-ta-ta-ta-ta! First, make it on paper, then trace onto grey fabric or leather. Trace the interior part of  ear a quarter inch smaller than the grey on the back of pink sticky foam.  Cut out. Attach sticky foam to the center of the ears, lining up the flat sides.  Sew the bottom two corners of the ears together with thread. Pull clear stretchy cord through the bottom of each ear with a needle. Tie into a knot to fit the head. Add a beret- directions for this here .

Phoebe and Rob's Sign

Image
Phoebe and Rob had the loveliest lakeside wedding at the Migis Lodge in Maine.  It couldn't have been more perfect down to thunder clouds parting an hour before the wedding.  One of the bride's wishes was to have a sign with her and Rob's name on it made out of the woodsy elements from the property.  There were stacks of firewood for guests all over so it was easy to gather the elements we needed and make the sign.  Here is the how to: What You Need: 1/2 inch thick pine board, this one is 12" tall by 3 1/2 feet wide Wood stain and cloth Hot glue gun Wood chisel  Hammer Pine bark, birch bark, pine cones Directions: 1.  Stain the board and let dry. 2.  Gather up bark from pine trees and birch trees.  A little goes a long way.  We got so much in a matter of minutes and had enough extra to make another sign that said something else.   3.  Plan out where the letters are going, make a mark at the top of each letter, but don...

Fortune Cookie Costume

Image
 A perfect accompaniment for the Chinese To-Go Box Halloween costume.  It's super simple and only requires a few ingredients. Cut a corrugated foam sheet into a circle.  This one is about 3 feet wide. Paint raw umber- a very cookie like color. Fold into cookie and add a couple wing nuts and a bolt to keep in place. Add a fortune, a Chinese themed shirt, and chopsticks to your hair and you're all set.
