DIY Embellished Frame

July 9, 2014 By Meegan 4 Comments

This post is sponsored by Blueprint Social and Plaid Crafts.

I am one of the lucky ones that gets to share a new type of craft sensation. It’s called Decoden. Today I am going to share with you Mod Podge Collage Clay. And how you can make a DIY Decoden Embellished Frame.

At first you might feel that Decoden is too much embellishing, but that’s part of the excitement. AND, when you get to work with it like I have recently, you will be hooked. Decoden is the art of decorating anything with trinkets, and “the more the merrier”.

As I have used Mod Podge Collage Clay, I was excited to make my DIY Embellished Frame.

Now, doesn’t that look fun? Let me show you how I made my frame.

I received these Mod Podge products: Collage Clay in Strawberry and Vanilla, Hot Melts, Mod Molds, and Collage Drizzle Paint.

My first step was to make some embellishments with the Hot Melts and the Mod Molds. Using a mini high temp glue gun I filled the molds and waited ten minutes for them to harden. You can also fill your Mod Molds with Collage Clay. Wait 24 hours to dry and pop them right out.

While I was waiting for the Hot Melts, I gathered my trinkets. I used glitter, crystals, shells, starfish, keys, sequins, and a few scrapbook supplies.

Now it was time to start my DIY Embellished Frame. I used the star tip with strawberry collage clay to cover the top of my frame. Making rosettes I was ready to add my embellishments.

I began to add my shells and crystals. Then the real fun started. I remembered “the more, the merrier” while I added my trinkets and embellishments.

I was having so much fun that I decorated a clothes pin to hold my picture. Some glitter and a shell was just the right touch.

Now it was time to let my frame dry. It takes a full 24 hours for the Collage Clay to dry. So, don’t be in a rush to use your Decoden art. Let it dry completely.

I have to admit I was a little nervous about designing an over the top look in my 3D collage clay. But using this new technique was a lot of fun. I KNOW you will enjoy it as well.

Collage Clay is not recommended for children ages 12 and under, and the product is not edible. Small parts are a choking hazard for children.

Here are more varieties of how YOU can create your own Decoden art with Mod Podge Collage Clay:

You will find Plaid products in your local Michaels Store.

You can keep up with Plaid in a number of ways:

Blog | Newsletter | Pinterest | Facebook | Instagram

| Twitter | YouTube | Google+

You can win your own set of Mod Podge Collage Clay supplies…

Don’t forget to check out my fellow bloggers ideas, too.

Make it a wonderful Wednesday.

Welcome to The Valentines Tour

February 4, 2014 By Meegan 9 Comments

Welcome to The Valentines Tour!!

Yay!! It’s the Valentines Tour with lots of ideas and inspiration from 14 bloggers! It’s MY turn today, and I am excited to have you here. If you are here for the first time, here is a BIG WELCOME! And if you are recent visitor, I am SO happy to have you here again!!

Today, as part of the Valentines Tour I thought I would share my Valentines Shelves with you.

These shelves are in our kitchen and are a focal point in our home. Each shelf has meaningful items on it. I liked using red, white, and a little Tiffany blue for contrast.

On the top shelf you will find a book of poetry book titled “The Rubaiat of Omar Khayyan”. This book was used by Hubby’s Grandpa while he was courting his future wife. How sweet is that??? They would sit in her “parlor” and he would read poetry to her by candlelight. Such a sweet story.

The Book Page Valentine Art was on my blog yesterday if you are interested in making your own. I love using vintage book pages for any occasion. The Tiffany blue vases and jar are from a wedding I helped with last year. My white candles are tied with red rick rack for a small touch of red.

The bottom shelf is also filled with more vases from the wedding and a frame.

The doilies are held by clothes pins decorated with pre-made roses that I found at Michaels. I also found the little pom pom strand also at Michaels. The doilies are actually a wedding gift from my grandma. She crochoted each one especially for me, her oldest grand daughter. So they are sentimental to me.

We had a sweet friend take photos of Hubby and me. I LOVE how he is holding me. It was a romantic day when we took those pictures. We didn’t plan on it that way, but it was nice to look in each other’s eyes and truly feel how much we love each other.

I made the w ire hearts last year and knew I needed them again for these Valentines shelves.

Adding a little more red, I tied each vase with red rick rack. I felt lucky enough to find “Sense and Sensibility“ at the thrift store for a $1. Perfect addition for the Valentine shelves, don’t you think???

I also made the Red Polka Dot Bunting. It’s easy and so fun to hang in your home to celebrate Valentine’s Day.

And, one last angle of my Valentine shelves.

Our family came for a visit this weekend, and they loved the stories about each piece on each shelf. To me, that is what is is all about. The story behind an item, the hands that held or made it, or even read by candlelight.

And, what about the love that was behind reading poetry to court your future wife, the love that the vases saw at a wedding, the unplanned romantic date taking pictures, the doilies made by loving hands, and of course, the picture of my sweet Hubby and me.

That’s what Valentine’s Day is ALL about, isn’t it??

Mother’s Day Ideas

April 24, 2013 By Meegan 4 Comments

Mother’s Day will be here before we know it. Do you have any Mother’s Day Ideas yet? I thought I would share a few ideas I have today:

Above you will see a moss candle holder, a moss candle and a moss vase all made with Dollar Tree items. The total cost was $2. Moss works for anyone’s taste or style. These will be a big hit.

What Mom could resist a French Silk Pie from scratch? Rich, creamy and delicious.

What about a bowl full of succulents as a gift? Succulents will grow anywhere. Perfect for those of us who even have a black thumb.

Make your own designed vase or frame for your mom. I used FolkArt glass paints for each of these projects. Easy to use and be your own artist.

Visit your local floral market and design a lovely bouquet. Then place it in a mason jar tied with twine. Easy and super cute.

Using twine wrap a monogram or paint and stencil one. These are a great idea for anyone.

I have had fun sharing my Mother’s Day gift ideas with you today. I hope I have inspired you to make something special for the Mom(s) in your life.

Thanks for following and for joining me everyday! You are awesome.

If you haven’t done so yet, sign up to receive my posts through email. Then you won’t miss what I am up to everyday!!
