DIY Glass Jars into BAD ASS Vases!

Are YOU like ME and don't have the heart to throw away your Spaghetti Sauce/Salsa Jars after you're done? Do you wash them and stick them into a cabinet for Lord know WHY?  Well, My Hoarding Friend… I've got a SOLUTION!!!





All you need is:
•Tissue Paper (For gift wrapping)
•Your jar(s)
•Some watered down glue
•A paint brush
•An image you'd like to forever smile at
Glue Gun
•(OPTIONAL….Glitter, accents, etc…)




Tear pieces apart… (There are no Mistakes…)


Mix in Water with your glue...



Paint on a THIN layer onto your glass piece for your starting off point…




add one of the TORN pieces and brush on MORE of your Glue water

KEEP GOING…



LAYER and LAYER until all covered...



NOW… Let dry for about a couple of hours….

Pick your image… (I LOVE pre and post GEMMA ;) )


~~~Brush on… REMEMBER THIN layers~~~


Let dry for about an hour or so, just keep an eye on it...


Then....
 ~~~WE DECORATE~~~


I LOVE a good *BLING* Border!


WAH LAH!!!!!! 
Stick some flowers in there and you have yourself a WINNER!!!!







When you do this project, LEAVE a comment with which jar/image you used!!!

HAVE FUN GEE WHIZERS!

Nerdy LOVE GEE WHIZ!


Good DAY (Snort snort)

I LOVE Art. I live it and breathe it. I LOVE to Paint. I LOVE Muertos. I LOVE Nerds.  I Love the fact that Even when We Pass on, our souls are the same. I like to take my Interpretation of different people and paint them as Muertos. Not your TYPICAL Sugar skull(s) :)

Here’s my Latest. NERDY LOVE

Flamingo Earrings Bling

I LOVE Flamingos
I love them in all ways they are represented. 

I made some earrings... 
REALLY simple, EXTREMELY PINK, fun, & fashionable. 



This is what You'll need to make your own...



First up, you take your Stirrer, and break off the bottom part...



When it has been CAREFULLY broken off, sand it down a little
 (I forgot the sand paper in the 
"Items You'll need" Picture)


After that, take your dremel/drill & drill a smallish hole, 
big enough for a larger jump ring into the "Feathers" part of your Fancy Little Bird.



Now, GO CRaZy with gluing on some BLING, The MORE the better! (I used a tooth pick for accuracy)


After your BLING has dried.... add your Jump ring and your Earring component...



Wear it with Pride, cause YOU will be the talk of the Flamingo town!

San Francisco Super bowl Fun!

GREAT day for a GAME! Especially the SUPER BOWL!

My team since I was a Youngin' is in it for the First time in 18 years!

WHEW!!!!  It's not even real to me!!!! The ALL MIGHTY SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS VS. The Baltimore Ravens. It's going to be intense, and I love it!

I decided since the last time they went, it was a big ol' ordeal in my household.... We are a family that is split down the middle of the Bay area Teams. Half and half... the 49ers and the Raiders. I thought that I'd do up the same for this time, and whip up some Spirit filled fun things for the Big day!!!

First up... Cupcake / Sandwich picks....

I printed out some "SF" Logos to cut out, and tape to the back of tooth picks. Pretty simple, and it adds so much ;)













Next up... My SPARKLY Golden High heels!!!

Before:
Glitter Blasted....



Ready.....


Needed a bit more glitter, so I Glued some more on, and sealed it!



Tule, earring clips, and netting... it's ON!




Adding some SPARKLE!!!!!
never too much!




WAAHHHHH LAH!!!! 








Next... My DIY Nails... Featuring the Golden Gate Bridge Silhouette ;)




I had to spruce up my Earrings too! 









GOOO NINERS!!!!!!!!



Win or Loose, Of Course, I'm Faithful, and FANATIC! HAPPY Game day All!!!!
