Marbled Paper Mache Ring Dishes

You have seen marbled ring dishes a million times on Pinterest. You know the ones with air dry clay and gold trim on the edges. Ya, I love them too. I wanted to make my own version, not using air dry clay, but using paper-mache. Same concept, same steps, different medium and all new funky look.

Glittered Glam Christmas Trees

I think I love Christmas for one very distinct reason... It is totally acceptable to have everything in your home covered with glitter. In fact, it's highly encouraged! So I decided to bling out a pair of paper mache cones I had in my craft stash!

Embellish a Personalized Letter with Old Jewelry

Have you been wondering what to do with all the trinkets and odds and ends you have laying around in your craft drawers and bins?   Here's the perfect project from designer Pattie Wilkinson to put them to good use. This pretty and chic DIY wall art is so easy to make and can be accomplished in an afternoon.

What you need:

– large paper maché letter(s)

– random jewelry, chain, and trinkets

– Aleene's® Platinum Bond Glass and Bead™ Slick Surfaces Adhesive

– Wire cutters

– Gold spray paint

 

Artfully arrange your items on your paper mache letter. Apply to letter using a dab of the glass and bead glue on each piece. You may need to cut off any sharp parts or details using your wire cutters.

This is what they will look like when completed!

Apply a coat of spray paint to the front and back of your letters.

Add another coat so that you get full and even coverage over the entire letter!

That's it! You have an artfully collaged letter that is visually interesting! Your friends and family won't believe that you recycled all those odds and ends making it!
