With the holidays here, it's really hard to stick to a budget so I am trying my hand at some home-made decorations and gifts. I did some research and picked out a few things that I would like to make. Most of the items I decided on making are made with re-purposed items. So with my "list" of junk I needed to find, I made a trip to Stuff Etc.
I was surprised by how much STUFF Stuff Etc has. It was hard to navigate the aisles because it was so full. And busy. I picked up my junk (or as much as I could find) and got home to get crafty. Here are my frugal finds:
 |
| 4 pane window frame with mirror |
 |
| This one also had a mirror in it. |
 |
And these gorgeous coasters for $0.99
|
Disclaimer: I am not a naturally crafty person. In fact I didn't even know modge podge was until a few days ago. Now, I want to use modge podge on everything!
 |
| This may change your life! |
Disclaimer number 2: This is not a tutorial. It's a before and after. (If you want to know how to make these, let me know...I'll give you the details).
 |
| The old coasters with a cute picture of my cute little Nate. Adorable. P.S. If this is your Christmas present, pretend to be surprised... |
 |
Not the best caption and I may be changing it a little. I think I may change the ornaments a little and maybe add a few more embelishments...
|
Disclaimer number 3: I have to admit that I didn't make these all by myself. I had help. Please see below:
 |
| I can't figure out how to rotate it, but isn't he so cute? |
 |
| Nate getting ready to help me paint the window pane frame. He was an animal. Going for it with two brushes! |
But he got tired and Jag had to babysit:
 |
Keepin' the Nater in line.
|
So the moral of this story is that Modge Podge is great! (But not near as great as my buddy and craft partner, Nate).
