Ive always loved the cute hanging flower balls that hang in clusters. Living in an apartment that we rent makes it difficult to add extra holes to the walls and ceiling in fear our damage deposit or part of it will be taken if we decide to move.

I had this clay pot that used to home a lovely lavender plant from one of my students laying around. I have a brown thumb and I killed the plant which is why I had this one lonely pot. One day, probably in the shower, I had a lightbulb moment! Why not SIT the flower ball in the clay pot.
Off to Wal-Mart I went with this flower ball in mind. I went straight to the fake flower isle and there was everything I needed. A Styrofoam ball and $1.00 flower bundles…yes $1.00 for one bundle that had lots of daisy’s on it. It was perfect. I guesstimated and lucked out with 6 bundles/bouquets. [Read more…]

Waterproofing your DIY photo coasters

by 1 Comment

I made these super awesome photo coasters last week from my Instagram photos as well and some random ones I found online. In case you missed it here is the link (DIY photo coasters)

When I made these I could not find clear waterproof spray paint. In lieu of showing how to waterproof these coasters in the video I just put a notice in the description box.

Sure enough, the very next day after upload I found clear spray paint! I couldn’t believe it! There it was staring back at me from BOTTOM shelf. I’m 6 feet tall And had to get on my knees to retrieve this rare gem of spray paint.

They had no clear waterproof which is best so I settled for the second best in just clear.

Now that I had it all I did was spray 2 coats OUTSIDE in a well ventilated area. Let them dry for 24 hours regardless if the can says dry in 10 min.
Voila! Waterproof coasters
