Freelance Friday: A Simply Screen DIY Baby Shirt



Oh happy day, its Friday! Today I would like to share with you a very cost effective way to save money on baby clothes. Check out this DIY baby shirt. Isn't so cute? It is simple yet adorable. Best of all this is something you can make for your own baby, with the help of some Simply Screen stencils, iron ons, and paint. I discovered this project over on a blog, called Lalala Patricia. She created this shirt, and then showed us what it looked like on. This definitely makes a great weekend project to undertake. Click here to see step by step how this DIY baby shirt was created. Have you ever made clothes for your baby?

Teaching Thursday: Sweet Sixteen Cupcake Stand



I don’t know about you, but decorative trays always make pastries look so much more tempting. Take this sweet sixteen-cupcake stand. This stand is so adorable, and makes the sweets on display look so delicious. Create this stand for your next birthday party, or event. This project was created using FolkArt and Mod Podge. It is a beginner level craft, that should take anywhere from 30 minutes to 1 hour. Display Sweet Sixteen treats with style.

 

PLAID Supplies


·       FolkArt ® Acrylic Colors - Azure Blue, 2 oz.

·       Mod Podge ® Matte, 16 oz.


Other Supplies


Cookie/cupcake stand
Primer
Wax paper
Printed cotton fabric
Foam paintbrush
Scissors
Ribbon


Instructions


1.   Disassemble the cookie/cupcake stand. Prime all the parts individually and allow to dry.

2.   Paint the stem with two coats of Azure Blue.

3.   Cut the fabric slightly larger than the plates. Working on wax paper, coat each piece of fabric with Mod Podge (both sides). Place the fabric over the top of the plate and smooth with fingers. Allow to dry. Once dry, trim the edges so they match with the plate. Repeat for the other plate.

4.   Pierce the fabric over the plate holes and reassemble the cookie/cupcake stand. Add a bow to the top.
