Work Desk Revamp...

Plain white IKEA desk. Needs Help. I should say, I could not lay the paper without creases and bubbles. How frustrating. The iron was just to get it nice and flat. And. Don't set your laptop on a decoupaged desk without something beneath it...my laptop ripped it off!





Photo shoot time. Love my new desk.

Decoupage Power Wheels???

Yup. I frackin decoupaged Brianlily's Power Wheels! I went with the blue Hot Wheels Power Wheels because my other choice was pink Barbie. She's a girl. I know that, she knows that, but she doesn't need a pink car because of it, and don't even get me started on Barbie. But I didn't want flames on it either. So what am I supposed to do? Oh yeaaaa...it's Mod Podge time (also found out the inventor used it on her VW Beetle in the 60's!)! Really simple and didn't have to ruin the car. The front window had Hot Wheels written across it, so I just cut that part off, then used anything else that didn't have flames. Then I printed out some color images of one of her favorite characters (Olivia. Man who doesn't love that piglet?), and decoupaged them onto the car. I also added some polka dots because I thought it would look cool on the VW Beetle. A racing number, and I was done. Came out adorable! Brianlily loves it, and it's a one of a kind.

Can anyone say Oliviaaaaaaaaaaa!?

P.S. So decoupage crazy these days...in love with these shoes from Corinne @ Craftovision!

DIY Mailer/Envelope...

Saw this really cute and useful way to send mail and creatively personalize your package. It comes from Whitney @ Whitney Sews. Mine is much smaller, and I didn't line mine with plastic. I actually just used it in place of an envelope. The item (my very first etsy sale! woo hoo!) was inside and I sewed around it, sealing the package. I loved it! Hope to use it more! Especially since plastic bags are banned here now...lots of paper for crafting!
