Flowered Broom Handle

I was in search of a new broom for my kitchen. Apparently my family didn't understand when I explained that I didn't like to use my kitchen/house broom outside in the garage or yard. They of course thought I wouldn't find out!! But as we all know, Mom finds out everything!  So I went to Target in search of a new one to keep in the house.  I found this rather boring broom to keep IN THE HOUSE.  My next challenge was to make it obvious to the rest of the family that this is the house broom and it is to be kept in the house.      

I immediately went to my superiszed bottle of Mod Podge and fabric scraps.  I cut 2 inch strip of this fabric and just started the wrapping process.  It was very easy to apply the Mod Podge and wrap strips of fabric around the handle.  

   

Taa Daaaa!!!  I think it turned out pretty nice.  I like the colors (yellow is my favorite color.) and the green goes with the green bristles in the broom. 

Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Dollar Store Leash Hook

Found some great supplies at our local Dollar Tree for a new dog leash hook. The hook is from Dollar Tree, spray paint was 'on hand' and a scrap of scrapbook paper (too cute).

My first step was to spray paint the hook. Looks much better than the blue, and matches my cute doggie print paper!

Next, I used any crafters favorite "tool" - Mod Podge to adhere the cute paw print paper onto the hook.

And, Taaaa Daaaaa..... the final product. How cute is that?!?!

Thanks for looking.

Have a great day.

Marine Corp Decoupage Table

My (almost) 20 year old nephew is a proud Marine. He is stationed in Afghanistan and scheduled to return in October. We are very proud of him.

I found this great material at Wal-Mart and wanted to make "something" for him. I used the folding tables earlier for other homemade projects and thought this would be great for him. Not sure why I thought it would be good NOW because he can't take it with him! Guess I was thinking about the future, he can use it in his own apartment when he gets home.

After spray painting the table top and legs, I cut the material so it would fit the top perfectly.

I think it turned out pretty nice, he was excited about it.
Thanks for looking.
Have a great day.
