Tuesday Tutorial: Lunch Time & Locker Love

By Candie Cooper: See more from Candie on her blog, Candie Cooper's Journal



The kids are back to school and working hard! How about a couple special projects to sweeten up their days?



I found these flower mirrors in the party favor section of the super store. They have a hole in them so you can make a necklace, or you can turn them into fun locker magnets like these!



Use a paper punch to punch shapes out of pretty paper. Dots and hearts are fun or you can cut shapes out with scissors.



Use Mod Podge Gloss to adhere the shapes to the mirrors.



Flat back gems can be added with Podge as well.



Cut leaf shapes from paper and Mod Podge them together. Attach the leaves to the mirror with MP also.



Add a magnet to the back and you've got a garden of cuteness growing in the locker.



This is a lunch bag I picked up and embellished with ribbons, buttons and are you ready.....?!?

Freelance Friday: DIY Pearlized Summer Serving Tray



Happy Friday! With the Labor Day holiday approaching do you have any cookout or entertaining plans? If you do, then you might want to consider creating a serving tray. Trays are great when hosting an event. Not only can they be used to carry things around, they can also serve as extra decor. Take this pearlized summer serving tray created with Mod Podge. Sarah from Sarah's Cucina Bella made this tray using one of the newest Mod Podge formulas, Kid's Washout. This tray project is perfect for kids of any age to make. It is very easy and can be completed in just under an hour. To see how Sarah made this click here.
