3 Tier Server

Well I'm finally getting around to posting the gifts I made for Mother's Day! I've been spending as much time with my girlies as possible and doing projects like crazy getting things ready for our little guy...by the way he's scheduled to arrive in 9 days, but have been so lazy about posting on the blog! Forgive me? I hope so! So let's get back to the post! These are so easy, so cute and were a huge hit! It took a trip to the dollar store for 2 glass candle stick holders and 3 plates. Combine that with E6000 glue and you're ready!

1. Clean and remove all stickers from plates and candle ticks. Let completely dry.
2. Glue candlestick bottom to bottom of plate. It should look like this:

      
     3. Repeat step 2 and let those dry overnight.
     4. Glue plates so it stacks 3 tiers high. It should look like this:

     5. Put it in a safe place and let it dry overnight.

And you're done my friends! Simple right? YES! Even my husband loved it and asked if I was making one for us :) of course I was! You may have noticed it on my buffet table when I shared that makeover with you. It was a huge hit and would also make a great gift for a wedding or birthday!

Enjoy!

 

Eyechart Canvas

A few months back I found an awesome FREE website to make custom eye charts. You type in the text you want and it creates it for you. So AWESOME right? At that time I was working with the other fabulous young women leaders in my ward on our young women in excellence program. I am a member of  The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and you can find out more about it here or by emailing me. I was in charge of the take home gift for the girls and our theme was "Become Something Extraordinary". As I was typing different text to fit perfectly on the eye chart I decided to enter in the theme and it fit perfectly! You seriously have no idea how excited I was! I have been so excited to share this with all of you!

• To create your eye chart click here. Or use any photo print you want.
• Print eye chart in desired size. We decided on 8x10 and printed them at Costco.
• You'll also need a canvas, modge podge and foam brush.

1. Cover your work area with a drop cloth, newspaper or whatever you have on hand.
2. Cut photo to exact size of canvas. You will want the edge of the print to be flush with the edge of the canvas.
3. Pour a generous amount of modge podge directly on canvas and use foam brush to spread and even layer on entire canvas being sure to go all the way to the edge. Brush the glue from the center towards the edge so you don't get globs of glue running over the edge of the canvas.

 

4. Press print on canvas firmly. 

5. Set aside and let it completely dry.
6. Once the canvas is dry you will put another layer of modge podge over the print using a foam brush. Make sure to spread the glue using long even strokes going from top to bottom.

7. Let canvas dry completely.

Not here's the lame part...I totally forgot to take a pretty picture of the final outcome! Take my word for it they were super cute!

There's so many different options of things you could create using the eye chart maker. Don't you think it would be such a cute personalized baby gift? Or a personalized wedding gift? Here's a couple I came up with.

Now go create your own! Enjoy!
