Fabric-Wrapped Hangers DIY

I recently bought a package of wood hangers, and knew they would be perfect to make over. These fabric-wrapped hangers are super easy to make and look great because you have your favorite fabric do all the "wow" work! AND - it's a great way to use your fabrics scraps to make your closet more artful! 

Check out below how I made this one, plus some others too!

Coiled Paper Coasters

What to do with all those holiday catalogs clogging up the mailboxes? Turn their pages into items (like coasters...) that help celebrate the holidays! Post-Christmas, you can use up any leftover wrapping paper to whip some up before New Year's even--the sky's the limit.

10 Minute Bead Mosaic

Mosaics are always an awesome way to create 3D works of art, but the traditional process can be messy and cumbersome with grout, tile adhesive, and all kinds of stuff that make a really bummer out of a Saturday afternoon. Lucky for us, there is Tacky glue to the rescue! 

This project takes no time at all, and is a great way to use up spare beads and junk jewelry. Anyone who has partaken in a Mardi Gras celebration probably has a bunch of beads laying around the house just waiting for an opportunity to shine!

Vintage Inspired Felt Applique Christmas Tree Skirt

Last year I took a felt tree skirt class at Austin's Stitch Lab. I never got around to making an actual skirt, but my adorable felt appliqués have been waiting patiently for me in the attic all year. This year I was determined to finish the job!

DIY Feather Sprays - Perfect For Uncommon Christmas Color Themes!

I am no stranger to Christmas trees with uncommon color themes, or themes in general, really. For a while I was all about pink and black and poodles to boot. Over the years I accrued the occasional poodle ornament and that was gangbusters but most everything had to be made by hand to accommodate my strange theme.

So this year, since it's all about the neons, baby, I made a neon tree that screams "LOOK AT ME!" As such the vast majority of what you will see on my tree was handmade. And lucky you I'm going to show you how to work around your own uncommon Christmas decor theme!

DIY Rolled Magazine Art with Always Ready Tacky Glue

Hey everyone, Tanner Bell here. Hope you're doing well, today on the blog I have a super fun DIY video tutorial for you using the NEW Always Ready Tacky Glue. You're going to love how easy these new glues are. Let's jump right into it!

DIY Paper Bead Ring

I love the idea of taking an old technique and changing it up in a new way. This DIY Paper Bead Ring turns paper beads up a notch with glitter, sparkle and movement! The best part is that I’m using one of the new Aleene’s Always Ready Tacky Glues. This glue is also a new take on a classic glue. Such a simple idea, that makes a huge difference in your crafting! Let’s get started.

Button Christmas Cards For Kids

Whether it’s for a holiday party at school, a Christmas gift for grandma or for their best friend, making homemade cards is a great way for kids to share the joy of the season. I have a really big stash of buttons so I thought I would show you and the kids how use them to decorate simple cards for the holidays.

Easy Fingerless Gloves Tutorial

My hands get really cold come the winter and for some reason my office is like an ice box if it's lower than 50 degrees outside. Since I still have to work even if my hands feel like ice cubes, I've started wearing fingerless gloves. And when I realized I could make my own, my collection grew like you wouldn't believe!

Laminated Leaves Fall Table Runner

In my house we jump from Halloween to Christmas in the decorating department. That is until this year when my daughter went to dumb old kindergarten and started learning about fall. Gah, why did you guys have to let her in on the fact that there is a holiday to decorate for in-between my two biggies. Sure she knows all about turkeys and pilgrims, she just didn't know people decorated for it. I had no choice but to embrace fall this year. With the help of some Tacky Glue, colorful leaves and a laminating machine I might just be getting the hang of this fall decor thing.

Inspiration Board

Inspirational quotes are super inspiring and really popular these days! Words can be very powerful! Today I am showing a simple way to gather all your favorite quotes and turn them into one big pice of inspirational art! Its going to be really fun and super easy to personalize!

Double Sparkle, No-Shed, Secret Glitter Technique

Glitter, sometimes referred to as "the herpes of craft supplies," gets a bad rap. A sparkly, spangled, bad rap. But if there was ever a time to flex your glitter muscles, it would be this time of year. Just as the holiday season is about to kick off. By using this technique, the initial glittering process is still messy (AND FUN) but the aftermath is much more tidy. You won't be finding glitter bits in your vacuum come St. Patrick's day. Also, this technique amps up your glitter to make it more sparkly then ever!

This cluster of thrift store candlesticks makes for a great centerpiece, but you can use this method on anything that will stand still; ornaments, knick-knacks, silk flowers...you name it.

7 Ways To Decorate A Light Switch

I originally set out to decorate 5 light switch plates, but ended up getting to 7 -- I just couldn't stop! For most of them, I used the new "Always Ready" Aleene's Tacky glues (they arrive in the checkout aisle -- no the glue section -- of JoAnn stores starting in November!). It's smart new inverted packaging that has the glue all ready to go -- in other words, no need to shake the bottle anymore to get the gluey stuff into the tip. They are great -- my only challenge was to remember to store them back in their base, tip down!

A light switch plate is a pretty sweet blank canvas -- small in dimension and fairly low-stakes (in case the creative process doesn't go as planned). But when it does work, what fun! Which switch plate theme or technique would you take and run with?
