Fun with Modge Podge!

A Craft Challenge with Modge Podge? Sign me up! This month on Craftyminx there is a fun craft challenge. Each week she is posting a craft supply and you do with it whatever your little heart desires!

I had a ba-gillion (ba-gillion is not a number - Happy Ending's anyone? no..) ideas and then ran out of time, so this is my submission - a little fox collage from scrapbook paper and modge podge on my kobo case (kobo's are the Canadian equivalent to Kindle)

I kinda love it :) You can see some past Modge Podge crafts here and here

Re-Style > Kitchen Benches

We have a great little table with bench seats that my father in law found and fixed up for us, what wasn't working was the fabric on the seats - probably worked fine for a house with no kids, but many spills later and some matted down play doh, we were left with some pretty gross looking seats.

This was a super simple project and I can't believe how long I stalled on it. First we took the seats off the benches, stapled down some fabric, then stapled down a layer of plastic, and voila new spill retardant seats! We will probably stick to them in the summer, but we will deal with that when the time comes:)

Re-Style > Advent Calendar

Clifford has always wanted an advent calendar he could fill with trinkets and chocolate, but never had the time to make one. While garage sailing we found a not so pretty one, but figured for $3 we could paint it and make it pretty :)

Restyle > Shelf

Finally painted my $1.25 yard sale shelf for the kitchen- I forgot to take a good before pic, but you can kinda see it there in the bottom of this picture. I still want to replace the hooks on it so they are all different, but I need to collect a few more unique ones first.

Happy Weekend! Hope your enjoying it :)

Restyle > Key Holder

I am not sure where this came from, I think Clifford had it before I met him, I never like to get rid of things made of wood, so I thought I'd try and spruce it up a bit, see if I could make it match our kitchen more :)

Restyle > Storage Bench

This bench used to be in our front hall (when we had one) and has been up in the bathroom since we got rid of the hall in favor of a bigger kitchen. The dark wood didn't suit our very white bathroom and has been bugging me for years.
