Day16:Organizing crafty storage


At first this may look useless, and unpractical, but if you think about it, it really comes in handy! I used a tin lid off of a cookie box, and glued on magnets on the bottom of jars, so that the can fit right in the little lid, without falling, or being knocked off very easily. If you don't have room for shelves, or just don't have any of good size this might help:) and it helped me organize my little craft table a bit.
Cut the magnet so it fits  the bottom of the jar

Glue on with SUPER GLUE

For the lid, I glued on fabric. Press it on around the edges, with glue

pretty lid:), I wrote on with fabric paint.

I stuck on pictures and stuff with magnets to the board

Day 15:Birdy Stencil

Use card paper, and draw out picture (make sure it's simple, and has thick borders), place on cutting board, and cut out the frame, and detailed areas with X acto knife.


Put stencil on whatever you want and carefully paint(with fabric paint) onto the empty spaces you cut out.
Finished :)

Day14:David Wolfe


My sister dragged me into listening to this guy lecture on about health, her dream husband she was recently obsessed with, and I had nothing better to do! A bit about David Wolfe: 40 year old man, but seems(and looks) in  20, funny, crazy, loud and energetic guy-just because of his diet! David eats raw food...no not like raw fish, but literally just nuts fruit vegetables, seeds, sprouts, mushrooms, which he forms into meals with super high tech quality blender. Coming from a family of mainstream doctors, his idea was totally shut down by his parents, but it paid off after he became a nutrition icon all around the world. The room was filled with like minded healthy hippies, mainly all skinny and radiant and beautiful, who before the arrival of David were talking about : Politics, alien abductions, 2012 theories, and food-the usual! He told us about  his health conditions before and after, and how he only needs to sleep 4 hours a day on account of the energy given to him by this raw food. You get much  more energy when your body is not constantly digesting tough, heavy food (bread,cheese,meat) and your body becomes also lighter, and healthier, because of all the nutrients it is easily getting all of a sudden. In his spare time, this guy goes mushroom hunting with his crazy crew, and girlfriend, for medicinal mushrooms which apparently when crushed can  cure any decease, (if combined with the right foods), and fresh water spring hunting all over the world. He told us there's no need of buying water, you just have to ask the nearest- Czech, Polish, Slovak, or Russian old couple, and they will know the nearest fresh spring that will taste better than any store bought "spring water"!!! Here's a link to his sites:

Day11: Baby Bulletin

Found these AWESOME useless cork boards at IKEA, and put them to good use:)! I found this DIY to be very simple, and it ends up being a cute little project as well:
 Materials needed: Cork boards(obviously), plastic circles(got them at the craft store, but I'm sure even cardboard might work), hammer, super glue, nails, fabric, and your good!
 Trace your fabric around your circle, leaving one inch in width all around.
 Glue the fabric down in the back with super glue, or tacky glue, try to flatten it out as much as possible.
 Glue cork ont top of fabric with fabric glue( I used Elmers Carpenter glue), and nail through the plastic circle on too wall.
Tadaa!! Small but cute:), looks even better with a few of them together.
