Creations, Crafting with what you have

 

These days at home should be cherished

It is a wonderful time to really get creative!

Challenge yourself to create something new from what you have around the house

Or order online from Michaels and get curbside pick-up

 

 

 

Decoupage is a wonderful way to have fun,

be creative, and turn something old into something new

All you need is a bottle, jar, or container,

paper, napkins, magazines, books, or even pages from your sketch book

If you don’t have Mod Podge or decoupage glue,

make your own by diluting white glue with water  here

    Love the table make-over, the new look for the picnic basket and the blingy chargers. So many great ideas. I have a few projects rumbling in my head along with some deep house cleaning, some good reading planned, not to mention yard work on the nice days. Lots to do to keep our minds busy. Thank you for the creative inspiration!

    I love your creative ideas–recycling at its best!

  5. Jenna, your creative mind and hands never stop! As a young bride, I took a decoupage class at American Handicrafts (do you remember that chain) in my local mall. The instructor was excellent and I made a beautiful box-type purse. I wish I had kept it. I need to get crafty again. The monogrammed table is perfect!

    So many great ideas and cool projects, Jenna. It’s always fun to have a few projects going. 🌸💚

  8. What a wonderful idea! I love how many options. And heaven knows, if there’s anything in this house, it’s craft and art supplies. I just wish I could host an art day!
