Fabric Coasters Sets of 4 AND Yoyo Magnets
Mod Podge Tile Coasters
I am excited to introduce you to my new little project that I've been working on for the past few days. FABRIC COASTER SETS OF 4! I used a tutorial that I found on pinterest.com. Here is the site, http://www.hostessblog.com/2010/07/diy-tutorial-mod-podge-tile-coasters/I have the tutorial posted in my Tutorial board. If you are looking to join pinterest.com, you must be invited to join. I have 5 free invites if you are interested, let me know and I can send you one :) This tutorial introduced me to my new favorite crafty material. Mod Podge! It's an awesome adhesive that dries clear.
Materials Needed:
Mod Podge
paint brush or sponge
E-6000
Plain Tiles
1 inch hole puncher
felt
Polyurethane Clear Gloss Spry
All I did was with a sponge, place a coat of mod podge on the tile.
Place fabric onto the wet tile
Using a 1 inch hole puncher, cut 4 circles out of black felt
Glue each circle on the bottom side of the tile with E-600
Spray each tile with 2 coats of Polyurethane Clear Gloss Spray
Here are pics of my new lil beauties.......
***You must wait 6 months before you can put anything HOT on your coasters for the Mod Podge to fully cure***
Still working on a few more sets but heres what I've completed so far.
Since I have the whole summer off, I've tried to spend as much time as I can on my crafty tutorials I've been wanting to try.
Here are the yoyo magnets that I've been working on as well....
Sorry the pictures are a little dark. I just added two stronger wattage bulbs in my room but still seems to be a tad dark :/
Well there you have it, my new lil creations! I'm hoping to start on a few fabric summer wreaths and a queen size quilt with the fabric that I listed prior. I'm also working on baby wash cloths, blankets, and bibs. Stay tuned....

Cute Fabric Tissue Holders
For those of you who know my at all, you know that I am practically allergic to EVERYTHING! This includes all grasses, trees, pollens, dogs, cats, and dust mites. So, how perfect are these adorable fabric tissue holders? They are the perfect size for your purse, back pack, or even your pocket! I used a tutorial from Sew Mama Sew http://www.sewmamasew.com/blog2/december2010/JCasaSMSProjectDec. I love the step by step pictures that she has added in the tutorial. It really helped make it easier to understand.
