Upcycled Tin Can Floral Hanging Decoration Using Mod Podge

Hello there! I hope you're doing well. Today, I'd like to share a fun and easy upcycling project with you. We'll be using Mod Podge and a few other materials to turn two ordinary tin cans into beautiful floral masterpieces. This is a great way to add some charm to any space! Video tutorial Materials Two tin cans- I'm reusing two vegetable cans Decorative tissue paper Mod podge Twine Faux floral Paint optional-craft foam block Hot glue Paintbrush Start by taking your tin cans, and applying white paint onto them. I am using white acrylic paint on my cans. I used only one coat of paint on each can. Allow your can to fully dry. After, take your decorative tissue paper, and begin to cut two sections. These two sections will go around your cans. Once you have cut your sections, set your paper aside. Next, take your Mod Podge, and apply them to your cans. Apply a thin layer to each can.  Add your tissue paper to your cans. Be sure to smooth your paper out as you add it over yo

Wood Box With Glass Bottles Decorative Centerpiece

Hi everyone! I hope that you are all doing well. It has been pretty rainy these past few days. I'm enjoying the rainy weather compared to the really hot days we were getting before.  Today we are working on building a wood box centerpiece. Instead of using the wood crate boxes from Dollar Tree, I wanted to build my own box. For this project, we're using a wood fence picket. I paid $1.48 for one picket, and you can create two boxes with just this one picket. I'm also going to reuse my glass Frappuccino bottles. I will provide a video tutorial as well.  Video tutorial Materials   One wood fence picket- I purchased mine at my local Lowe's for $1.48 Two glass bottles-I am reusing my Starbucks glass bottles Paint Paintbrush Faux greenery Rub-on transfers Wood glue Corner clamps Hot glue One round wooden circle Floral snips Scissors Begin by cutting your wood fence picket. Cut the short ends of your wood 2½ inches. Next, cut the front, back, and bottom of your wood 6¼ inches.

Upcycled Plastic Bowl Hanging Planter

  Hi everyone! I hope that you are doing well. I had a few microwavable noodle bowls that I washed out and put away. I took a few days to think about what I could possibly create using these bowls. It finally came to me, and I decided I would take one of the plastic bowls, and upcycle it. We will take this plastic bowl, and create a hanging planter. I promise I will take you through each step, and as always I will provide a video tutorial. If you're ready, create with me!

Wood Candleholder Decoration

Hi everyone! Today we're creating a wood candleholder design. The only item I had to purchase for this craft was my wooden hexagon shadow box at Michael's craft store. You can find this for one dollar.  If you were to purchase that along with the tumbling blocks, and greenery you would be looking at around four dollars spent on creating this craft.  Video tutorial Connect with me!  My YouTube channel-  Steph Creates-DIY Home & Crafts Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/stephcreatesdiyhomeandcrafts/ Pinterest- https://www.pinterest.com/Stephcreatesdiyhomeandcrafts/ Materials Wooden Hexagon 6" x 5" Shadow Box-Purchased at Michaels Tumbling blocks (12) -Purchased at Dollar Tree Paint - colors-celery for wooden shadow box and  antique white for block Paintbrush Faux Greenery  Hot glue Floral snips One battery-operated candle Optional-gold flower embellishments Start by removing any screws, and twine from your shadow box.
