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

Halloween Ghost - Tic Tac Toe Game

What a fun classic game - Never gets old. This cute ghost game set can travel with you, or help time pass if you are waiting for an appointment with your special ones. Because come on, who doesn't love to play tic tac toe and silently compete? 😂 Using my Glowforge laser, this cute ghost was cut and engraved on baltic birch wood. Acrylic was used for the games pieces (ghosts/pumpkins). The ghost is approximately 5.12 w x 6.5 h.

Revisiting an older DIY post.

UPDATE: To an older DIY and post. I had added some paper to the inside of this cute metal envelope holder. You can find that post here: https://maddiemarrs.blogspot.com/2020/08/a-quick-and-simple-diy.html . Although it came out cute, something was off Something about the bronze was just not hitting me the way the way I wanted it to, so, I decided to paint it white - and now, I love it! You can see that in this photo I had already done a light sanding. I used white gesso for this project. Lots and lots of gesso. 😅 Oh my gosh, since it's metal, I can add magnets! How fun! I am going to leave it as is, but it would look great distressed. For now this will be on our mantel as part of our Valentine display. Afterwards, it will probably be hung in my studio and hold some yarn. I do love this, it screams happy. Until next time, Maddie

My Garage My Tools My Rules Sign Decor using my Glowforge Laser

This wood sign was made using my Glowforge laser, and is hand painted by me. This would make a great Father's Day gift. However, as I sit here typing this, I just thought of how fun this would be in pink, maybe some gold, maybe some glitter? I don't know, it sounds like it would be adorable. I may have to put that on the list of projects I'd like to get done. The sign is approximately 15 x 10.8 and sealed with a matte finish.
