Going Batty

I can hardly believe that Halloween is only a week away! 

If you're like me and it snuck up on you, then this easy project will help you get in the Halloween spirit. 

I've shared a tutorial in the past on how I made these cuff bracelets

I did a couple of steps in a different order for this new one, but it's basically the same and could be done either way.
Here's what you'll need:

Cuff Blank
Book Page
Rubber Stamp
StazOn Ink
Permanent Markers
ModPodge
Paint Brush
Sandpaper

Coat the inside of the cuff blank with ModPodge. 
Insert the book page into the cuff and press to adhere.

Tear away excess paper. 

On a separate book page, stamp your design using StazOn ink.

Color in the image with permanent markers.

Coat the outside of the cuff with ModPodge.

Adhere the paper with the design to the cuff. Press to smooth out and remove any bubbles. Tear away excess paper.

Coat the cuff inside and out with ModPodge and allow to dry.

Sand the edges of the cuff to remove excess paper.

Rub the StazOn ink pad along the edges of the cuff to distress it. 

Having a Halloween party for the kids?
This would be a fun and easy project for them too!

DIY Yarn Wrapped Candles

Add a touch of Fall to your decor with this easy DIY project.

Here's what you'll need:

Battery Operated Candles

Tacky Glue

Yarn

ModPodge

Patterned Napkins

Add a line of tacky glue around the bottom edge of the candle. 

Add more tacky glue on the candle. You don't need a lot. Just enough to help secure the yarn.

Start wrapping the yarn around the candle. Stop every now and then to press the yarn tighter together.

Add a line of tacky glue around the candle at the point you'd like the yarn to end so that the last row of yarn is secure.

If you've been here before, then you know how much I love to use patterned paper napkins on projects!

Well, here I go again!

Separate the layers of the napkin so that you are left with only the top layer. Tear around the part of the napkin that you'd like to use.

Add ModPodge to the yarn.

 Place the napkin over the ModPodge and press down. Then put a top coat of ModPodge over the napkin.

Use the end of the brush to press down on the napkin so that the texture of the yarn shows through. 

Incorporate other napkin designs to make this project work for any season. Gotta go get started on some for Christmas!
