Dollar store Frames

Here is an easy and cheap craft to do. I have seen several of these done in all sorts of ways here on blog land. Here is my take.

First, get some $1 store frames. {Mine are all 5X7}

You will also need vinyl letters, or large stickers.  Heck if you are good at painting, you could even paint the letters on the glass.  I cut my vinyl letters with my silhouette which I don't use nearly as much as I would like to.

Note:  You can have the letters on the inside of the glass or the outside.  If you desire it on the inside, don't for get to cut vinyl letters out backwards.  I forgot about that and had to re cut my letters because I wanted them on the inside.

OK, back to the project.  I took the glass and backings out of the frames and spray painted the frames black.  I then stuck the vinyl letters on the inside of the glass.  I then reinstalled the glass back into the frame with hot glue.  You can put the backings and everything back into the frames if you don't like the see through look.  In this case, you would not have to glue the glass to the frames.  Let it dry if you glue the glass in.

Once everything was dry, I arranged the frames side by side until I got the look of the frames I wanted.  I then glued the frames together side by side.

Let dry and that was it.  Simple!  You could also just hang the frames individually on the wall without gluing them together.  Have fun with it.

Bathroom door dress up

The silhouette has striked again in the bathroom.  If you have been following my blog then you know I have been re doing my guest bathroom {slowly} I might add.  So the newest thing that my fantastic
silhouette has helped me with is this sign on the door of the bathroom.

Kane for men and wahine for women.

It was a fun idea that I wanted to add.

I may be linking up to any and all of these fabulous people here who like to party.  Check them out for tons of inspiration.

Seaweed Tank

I saw someone here on blog land do flowers to the back of their toilet tank and I thought it was a clever idea to add something fun to something kinda boring.

I just got a silhouette that I bought from someone off of craigslist and am so excited.  This is the first project I have done with it and am anxious to do many more.  I L.O.V.E., love IT!

I have been re-doing my guest bath really 1 project at a time so this has been a rather long process {being this is only my second project}. :)~

I started with the download from the silhouette library for $.99.

The download is called seaweed C2009082.

I then stretched it, and mirrored it and squished it so I could have different sizes and shapes as well as cut on different vinyl colors.

I love how this turned out.  Brings interest to the boring tank.

What do you think?
