September 4, 2013 By Colleen Jorgenson 3 Comments

Faux Etched Jars

You know those walk-in pantries that have tons of storage and a door with pretty etching on it? Yeah, well, we don’t have one of those. With canning jars being all the rage right now, I thought we could use some vintage jars to kind of mimic the look of a pantry. These little display […]

Decorate Dollar Store Jars

Decorate Dollar Store Jars

Before I updated my dollar store baskets & jars with washi tape, I’d planned on just painting the jars. I’ve had these glass paint markers for a while and I’ve been itching to use them. The red and blue matched the washi tape perfectly! Before painting glass with any type of paint, I always use […]

How To Glitter Wine Goblets

How To Glitter Goblets

I’ve seen these glittered wine goblets all over the Pinterest and the internet, usually around the holidays. To be honest, I was just going to paint these glasses, not glitter them. But there it is. And you know what? Every time I look at it, I smile. I don’t know why. I’m not what you’d […]

Faux Mosaic Vase with glass paint

Faux Mosaic with Glass Paint

There’s nothing better than projects that go really, really fast. Right? This project, however, does not fall into that category. Just sayin’. It’s not that it’s difficult. Quite the opposite. It’s actually really simple. I used the glass stain paints I used for the faux stained glass fall leaf window and a square vase I […]

Craft Chalkboard from Mirror

Yes. You read that right. A chalkboard. From a mirror. It wasn’t exactly what I first had in mind when the great people at Plaid Crafts sent me this goodie box. Craft paint, glitter paint, chalkboard paint, Mod Podge, foam applicators and Hello! new paintbrushes! I always need new paintbrushes. It’s no secret that I […]
