Freelance Friday: Springtime Mason Jar Photo Holder



T.G.I.F. It’s Friday! It’s Friday! The week is finally over and the weekend is here. You now have two whole days to craft something new and amazing. Have anything in mind? If not, no worries we have been scouring the internet to give you some inspiration. Today we would like to share this springtime mason jar photo holder project. We discovered it on the blog, Spool and Spoon. This project was created using one of today’s most popular surfaces, Mason Jars, and Martha Stewart liquid glass fill paint and clings. We love how Jess designed this project. It is a great way to display pictures of your little ones. To see how Jess made this project visit here blog here.

Web Wednesday: DIY Spring Pitcher



The month of February is quickly coming to an end. Can you believe it? Wow time flies when you’re crafting. Get prepared for the upcoming spring season by getting a head start on your spring themed projects. Over on the blog Crafty Scrappy Happy, Jamie is getting ready for spring by creating this DIY Spring Pitcher. This project is actually very easy to make and is a nice upcycle project. To achieve these results, Jamie used items from the Martha Stewart glass painting program. To create this pitcher she used Martha Stewart clings and liquid fill paint. Have your kids help out by painting the clings with the fill paint. Once complete use this pitcher to pour your favorite springtime drinks. To learn how you can make this project click here.
