Simple and quick nightstand cover/rug . . .

My daughter has some left over fabric from little projects she has done recently. This is one of her favorite pieces of fabric she owns. She cut a piece to place on her nightstand as a little rug or table covering. It looked super cute, but she didn't like that it would slide around. I don't blame her, I'm pretty sure things continuously sliding and falling would annoy me too!

We made a trip to Daiso and found this non slip grip sheets. I cut a piece the size of the fabric piece she had cut and stitched it on to the back. So simple and fast.

Once I stitched the non slip grip sheet on, I used my fingers to fluff it up to hide the stitch line; or you could leave it if you like. I didn't take a photo of it once it was fluffed but it's okay. You get the idea. 😊

According to my daughter, it works great. Nothing is slipping or sliding around . . . YAY!

I have lots of extra fabric sitting around my studio, so I think I am going to look for some holiday themed pieces and make a few for my girls to switch out.

If you decide to make one, please send us a photo. We'd LOVE to see your version of this nightstand cover/rug.

Stay Crafty,

Maddie

Can I laser on glass?

Conversation with myself: Can I laser on glass? Well, I don't know, I haven't tried. 😂 It was my first attempt at lasering on glass. Next time I think I will make some minor setting adjustments. Depending on the design, I may want the image to be a bit clearer/sharper. But, since this design is a bit cute, spooky and going to be used as Halloween decor in our home, it works. The black roses were made using my laser, wood with acrylic paint. I know this is short but I hope it was sweet. I'm not sure where October went, but I wish you and yours a fun and safe Halloween. Thank you for stopping by and, Until next time, Maddie

Gold Leafing a Boutonniere

It was my first time to do a boutonniere and I thought I would try adding some gold leaf foil to a few roses and see how they turned out. They came out very nice, I thought. Some Supplies used: Add the adhesive where you want. You can put as much or little as you'd like. I was going for a bit of a drip on one of them. I played around adding some gold leaf foil to a few leaves. It was a big rose and a rather heavy one at that, so I decided to just do the one and leave the other rose out. It would have been too bulky. Using some floral tape, floral wire and some hot glue I put the boutonniere together. For a soft more vintage look I added some vintage lace I had on hand and finished it off with some ribbon. This boutonniere was a hit and it was a fun piece to do. Thanks for popping in, Maddie

Are we Sleighin' or Slayin' ?

I hope you are having a great start to this new year! As I was putting up Christmas I thought about how I had not shown this cute wood round sign. I love that it can go up in October and stay up through Christmas. This sign gives me all the Hallmark feelings. I've been contemplating making a few of these to list. 🤔 I will get back to you on that. Speaking of Christmas - Anyone feel like it just zoomed right by at a high rate of speed this year? I totally did. Materials used: Wood, acrylic paint, gold, green and red foil paper and some rope and ribbon for hanging. Everything cut on my laser. Thank you for swingin' by. Until next time, Maddie
