Beans, Terra Cotta Pots and Keyboard Keys!

 Beans, Terra Cotta Pots and Keyboard Keys!

Hoping most of these be self explanatory.

Bought glass vase at Goodwill
Battery operated candle
NAVY BEANS -spray painted
add bow or decoupage!

I like using coffee beans for the aroma when I have done these in the past!










Ever get excited at the computer and jump? Or in my case not awake and reach for coffee only to spill all over your keyboard? This time it was the DEATH of my keyboard. I couldn't use all my keys because I wore the letters off with all my social media work! But you can spell out all kinds of words if you still have yours.

Just pop off the keys (I used a kitchen butter knife to wedge under the keys and boy did they fly off!)







                                                                       
                   

I already had the black push pins. I just hot glued the keys on the push pins!

One of my stops to Goodwill I seen a 3.00 keyboard and I am back in  social media business. Makes spilling your coffee a   little more easy to bare.









 
     

Terra Cotta Pot and two saucers
(Goodwill) glass bowl
Spray paint
Glue E6000

Spray pot and saucers. You need to pair up the saucer that  fits your bowl. Then buy one the next size smaller.
Glue bowl to upside down pot. Lay down larger saucer as if pot is going to sit in it. The smaller saucer, the opposite way inside the larger saucer. It will the larger saucer fit in the the bowl so it catches on sides. Fill with candy, nuts, or hey what about a gold fish?









   Thanks for the visit! I hope someone will share with me when they do these! Its fun to inspire!

My blog post are much like my personality - I feel I am an adult that was diagnosed properly - I have self diagnosed myself with A.D.D I can be random and I can be forgetful but I love me! I think its what feeds my creativity! I'd love for you to share my blog anytime you can, love to hear from you! Where you from? What do you like? What questions do you have? If I don't know I'll research!

Okay I'm going to just jump in with a share, let me see if I have my pictures organized and see what I got! (I'll hit the tool button here to my pics and see what inspires me..hang on..no go grab your coffee or your kid that just ran out the door)


You'll need:

Spoons (keep your eyes open for these at goodwill or sale at your store)
Cardboard
spray paint
hot glue gun and glue sticks
Clock (I get mine aat Dollar General for 5.00)
soda can tab
red  handle tool thing snippers/pliers? (Husband is asleep at the time of post to ask...but a picture of what I used is good right?

Take out clock. Mine came with the clock screwed into the box. Save the screws! You'll use them to attach the clock to your cardboard. You decide how big you want your circle. If you don't have a clock, you can use a round mirror!

Snip off all the handles to the spoons (I have not found a resuse of the handles just yet). This is the longest part of the craft but after a few snips and you get the hang of it , it doesn't take that long!

 The first row is the edge of your cardboard. I just used two finger spaces between the spoons as I glued them around.

 The next row, using the above row as a guide, I looked where the space was above and placed the spoon so that it took up the gap visually. Look close at picture. You space the spoons just like you did for the first outward row. Repeat on the next row.
(Would someone let me know if this is notclear instructions for this part?)

I cut a whole so I could change the battery but I had to tweak after I was finished because I didnt have the whole lined up right.

Once you have all your spoons glued, grab your spray paint and in short shots press nozzle thats the secret for getting great coverage instead of spraying in a continious spray. ( I did better explaining I think)

Take your soda can tab and glue to back and hang! For those of you cooler then me (there's a lot who are) you can handpaint the tips of the spoon, decoupage your spoons?!
Unleash the creative beast!











I'm going to share a great guide for your use that was shared with me as a bonus and I wont get fancy and try to make you fill out a form or hold you hostage til you give me your email~ Nah I don' like that frilly stuff. ;)

Where Does One Go For Inspiration? #AmericanSignatureFurniture For Me!

When you think about decorating do you feel like:

You want to be like the cool kids?

You look online and everybody ELSE amazes you?  I want to help wake up your inner creative self.

We can at least try right?  Ever heard that song "These are a few of my favorite thins"?

Don' t worry about the lyrics. Just think about the title. Make a physical or mental list of the things you love and enjoy.

Some people love vintage times , rustic surroundings, beaches, and the list goes on. Don't be afraid of what others like or don't like. For example, I love the color black. I think it comes from my younger days when I heard Johnny Cash song "The Man in Black" what it all stood for.

I would recommend going to www.overstock.com and looking at "wall art"  "art gallery" or "canvas art". See what draws your eyes. Is there a color theme you are really liking?

Let's talk about color. I am no artist, or professional interior decorator. I'm sharing what I learned in home economics some 100 years ago. Pick three colors. One will be your main focus (prime) the other two will be your accent colors. You can always google a color chart if you only have one fav color and want to do something different.

I'll let you in on a secret of mine. I go to American Signature Furniture  here in the south. (Up north Value City Furniture) A trip to their store inspired 3 areas of my house! Look at bed and back wall color. Walk around their gallery and see colors they put together if you don't trust your self - trust their professional interior decorators! I'm sure they have done plenty of research on whats trendy!

Now lets take a look how I went from one trip to American Signature Furniture to my paradise space called home!

 Couch?

 Nah just a bench!

Scored Ethan Allen Mirror at consignment store for 50.00 The Shelves?. Upcycle the glass shelves out of a TV entertainment center we pitched. Teal / Aqua is very complimentary to the orange so when I wanted to do guest bathroom it was natural I went with aqua to carry from the master bedroom to another part of the house.

 Thats how it went for me to fire up my creative beast! THANK YOU to American Signature Furniture and to your staff that puts the time in to research the trends! Sure makes decorating much more effortlessly!
