Ceramic Tile Coaster Lasered

Hello, sorry for the long break. It's been awhile and I have been unsure if I should even bother with this, but after some thought - the answer was YES! So let me just jump right in.

I may not have been posting, but, I have been creating! So I need to do more sharing.

For this project I used a ceramic tile (4.25 in x 4.25 in). One can be purchased at any place like a Lowe's or Home Depot type store or redo one you already have.

I did some light sanding to this ceramic tile piece and then added some white gesso to prep this tile for painting. I used green acrylic paint for the top and gold acrylic paint for the sides and then sealed it with a clear matte finish, about four coats.

I let everything dry and decided I would use my laser to add a design on top. Of course, it would be nice to paint something on it. So many ideas and elements that can be used, such as stickers, a fun paper collage, leaves, confetti. Have fun with it.

When I was done, I added another couple more coats of clear matte finish. I used Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch 2x Ultra Cover Matte Clear for this project. I really like this stuff.

I used the laser to cut some felt to attach to the back and then I was done.

Here it is . . .

... What a fun piece. I think it came out super cute and it's ready to use.

Thanks for popping in and until next time ... Happy Crafting!

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.
