DIY Halloween Chalkboard Art

As Halloween approaches next week, I thought my kitchen could use a little holiday spirit makeover. I found this awesome chalkboard frame at Kirklands last night that I just couldn't pass up. So of course I went to Pinterest for some Pinspiration. This was my first attempt at chalkboard art, definitely not as easy as it looks. That's the glory of chalk though, easy to clean up your mistakes. So here it is in all it's spooktacular glory!

DIY Key Tags

DIY Key Tags

Here's a simple little DIY project that anyone can do!

 I always tend to find myself fumbling around with my keychain, trying to find the right key. I bought those little color coded plastic key tags to organize which key goes where, but to me, they just looked boring and made my keychain bulkier than it already was. 

So I decided to make my own color coded system. 

What you need

*Nail polish

*Keys

A little imagination, a glass of wine and some patience for drying time and you are done!

You can paint them anyway you want. I started with a plain base color then went over with sparkles just to make it pop. You can even use those nail polish paint pens to paint on different designs. Whatever you want, remember, YOU are the artist!

Here is my finished product......

Hope you guys like! Thanks for reading =)

Mime your business!! Easy DIY Halloween costume

Cheap and Easy DIY Magnets

Most of the projects I do are with stuff I have lying around the house and this is one that is so quick and easy to do and you really don't have to spend that much money!

Supplies you will need:

• Glue (I used ModPodge but any clear drying glue should work
• Decorative paper/pictures/magazine cutouts etc...
• Flat clear marbles (found at any craft store)
• Craft magnets (small enough to fit the back of the marble)
• Scissors

1. Find the paper with the design you want to use.
2. Glue your marbles to the paper FLAT SIDE DOWN, design facing up. Make sure they are spread far enough apart so you can cut between them. (some people trace the marble to the paper and cut it out first but I have found that it's easier gluing them then cutting them)
3. Allow enough time for the marbles to dry to the paper, now carefully cut around the marbles, close enough so that you cant see the paper edges from the front of the marble.
4. Glue on magnet to back and let dry.
5. Hang them on the fridge and you are DONE!!

Told you it was easy!! Happy Crafting!
