When I first started building projects from recycled materials these headboard benches were all the rage. You just had to look at Pinterest and Instagram and they were everywhere. I really wanted to try and make one, but I could never find a matching headboard and footer from the same bed.
Last year for Halloween I made a Halloween mirror using waterslide paper to create the effect of a skull looking out of a mirror. It was very popular as well a creepy some said. One comment that I got stuck with me. The comment was, that it would have looked better if the skull looked like it was coming out of the mirror.
With Halloween coming around soon, it is time to start doing some Halloween decorations. Because it is only one day people want to keep their crafts quick and easy. And this project is just that. Another good thing about this method is, after Halloween, you can soak off the designs and paint and your glasses are back to normal.
Hi all, with Easter just around the corner it is time to see all the great Easter projects popping up everywhere, So I am joining in with these Rustic Fun Easter decorations. Staying with my website theme of trying to make all my projects out of recycled materials, these guys were made from junk items I found around my workshop. They are not your usual Easter decorations, but I hope you like them. It is also time for our next IBC (International Blogger challenge) and you guessed it, Easter Decoration or any Easter related project. More about IBC at the end of this post.
A few years ago, I made a horse racing game for the residents at the aged care home where I work. This car racing game is based on the same idea. I have had many requests over the years from people asking for the printouts so they can make their own. For your convenience, I have included the PDFs for the cards needed to play this car racing game in the instructions below.
Recently my future Daughter in Law had to say goodbye to her beloved dog Mollie due to cancer. Mollie had been a treasured member of the family for many years, so her passing was very heartbreaking for the family. She was always there, whether you were happy, sad or even on the Loo to offer unconditionally love.
Do you have an old garden statue that you love, but it has become worn out and haggard-looking, then this post is for you? I am a big fan of Buddha statues and they are by no means cheap so I wanted to paint mine to get it looking great again. Browsing around our local hardware store I saw this granite spray paint which will make my plastic look like granite stone.
With Halloween fast approaching everyone is on the lookout for new ideas to decorate there home. I wanted to try and make a unique Halloween mirror this year. Even though it is only one night many people like to make the most of it and either have a party or go trick or treating. I had this mirror at home which was pretty boring but I really loved the frame.
