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

Life handing out lemons .... (Made from cardboard boxes)

Hi there! This sign is fun and so cute. I did this using cardboard boxes from deliveries. I'm not sure why, but I sure do love using cardboard boxes. Maybe it's because I love the way the sides look and I love how light it is. Best of all, I love how easy it is to work with. I love it all! Well, here it is . . . Materials used: cardboard boxes, Apple Barrel acrylic paint & some glue. I know this was short and sweet but I hope you have enjoyed. Until next time -Maddie #iplaywithfire #lasermade #glowforge #cardboardboxes #lifehandingoutlemons #applebarrel

Redoing Ceramic Garden Mushrooms

Hello! I have decided to redo this cute ceramic garden mushroom. It was hanging out in my front yard for a few years, but it's slowly not looking so great. Not one white spot left on any of the mushrooms. It was time for it to go. Since this piece was outside, it was subject to a lot of the outdoor elements. This means it needed a good cleaning. May I also suggest doing that outside. I didn't and yeah, I should have. 😉 Next, I wiped this down with some rubbing alcohol so that I could add a coat of gesso by Liquitex. Side note: This one bottle has definitely seen better days. 😂 For now, I have decided to just redo the top portion of the mushrooms. I could always go back and do the bottom portion if I change my mind. So for now, just the mushroom tops are being gesso-ed and prepped for paint. 😊 This is it before being sealed. To get these colors, I mixed paints I had on hand. I'm trying to use up some of my older paints so this just works for me right now. 😅 Many co

Halloween Fabric Lavender Sachets

Hey Y'all! I've been trying to use up a lot of the fabrics that I have because, as of lately, I've been feeling like a little hoarder. 😅 One way I chose to use them was making some cute sachets to put in our dresser drawers. Is that what they're called? 😂. Each side was a different pattern and I love the way they came out. They're so fun! Anthony's French Lavender is what was used since I still had some on hand from another project. I think I will make some for Christmas. Can you imagine adding some festive scents that make you get excited and feel that Christmas spirit? How exciting! Thanks for popping in and until next time - Maddie
