Crayon Stained-Glass Hearts

 I am full of LOVE today. Love for my life and LOVE for the Universe. I will be on Martha Stewart’s show today and I am kinda freaking out. I mean, it’s only in front of millions of people. NO pressure, right? What if I say the wrong thing? Will she think I’m silly? I just wanted to post this fun craft and share with you how thrilled I am and this feels like one big DREAM!
Don’t forget I will be covering the event LIVE on my blog so keep checking my blog out!
WISH ME LUCK!
I will be posting LOTS of pictures from the whole thing so stay tuned my little jaderbugs.

 

p.s. for the wooden sticks i used bamboo.  i had these for decoration and just broke one in half.  how easy is that!
p.s. shaving with scissors was the easiest way!
p.s. when you put your 2nd piece of wax paper on top of the shavings, it’s best to put a towel on top before you iron it.  personal experience, it works best 🙂
p.s. you can use any cookie cutter or you can free hand your design.
p.s. after cutting out the designs simply put one down, put hot glue on the side facing upward then place rope in the middle.  before the glue dries you need to put the other heart on top and press gently with your hand.
p.s. how cute is this!
p.s. if you put it outside, just remember it is made with paper and if it gets wet it will fall apart.

Glittered Photo Birthday Cards

When I ran across this craft a couple of months ago I thought “hey, this would be great for vacation pictures”… You know what I mean. Vacation pictures always has a sparkle to them already so why not add more! Plus, you always get the BEST sunsets and sunrises when out of your everyday element. 
Just one touch of glitter can change everything about a picture! We ALL know how much I love glitter. 
This craft is SUPER easy. I do recommend using the Martha Stewart’s line because they are indeed better than any other line I have ever picked up.  I think they put “magic” in all of their products.  Let me also tell you that the glittering glue is the BEST! It comes out smoothly and just adds enough glue without having to drench it! I’m telling you. {{they have magic in them}}… Don’t worry though because I am on top of it. I will find out the secret ingredients very soon!!! 
So let’s get started!!!

p.s. You have to get this glitter! Is is the best EVER!!!
p.s. At the house in Hawaii there was this little gecko  and it would not leave us along!!!  So in the mornings we would drop a couple droplets of water for it to drink. He loved it. LOOK how cute his little reflection in the mirror!
p.s. Aghhhhhhhh need I say more??????

p.s. The end result.. Just think of everything you can glitter!!!!!

Sending you lot’s of eyes crossing and spelling wrong beacuse I am falling alsep as I type this,

Glowing Hurricane Glasses Tutorial

Good day my little Jaderbugs! It’s a wonderful day in the neighborhood, won’t you be my neighbor {please hehe}…
I remember when I was little I loved Mr. Rogers. I LOVED that he changed his cardigan every 5 minutes. Looking back now, that sucker was very fashionable. Plus, you can never go wrong with a cardigan.  So the days are getting closer till I get to see Martha! I keep pinching myself because this just can’t be happening to lil ole me! BUT IT IS, and I am so thankful to my UNIVERSE.
Matthew 21:22 
And all things, whatever you make request for in prayer, having faith, you will get.

With faith, love, and passion anything’s possible.  God rewards you and you will know when it’s just simply your time. 

This craft we are doing today was really easy.  The one thing I loved the most about it is you can mix and match with any color tissue paper.  They give off the best lighting once complete. {{can we say affordable also, that’s always a plus}. After all it’s about using what you have and loving it. There is nothing in this world like crafting. It is the best feeling in the world when you can create something with your bare hands. Nothing like it I tell ya. 
I can’t even go a day with out looking at {{everything}} in my path and thinking what I could do to “jaderbomb” it. 
So grab a coke {or water, or pepsi or whatever} and stay a while.  I don’t mind. Shoot’s bring your friends! 

p.s. These are all the ingredients I used.
p.s. You want to start off by folding your tissue paper in half then cut with your scissors.
p.s. After you cut your tissue paper you want to make a fold about 1″ from the bottom. Do another piece and slip it into the first fold. Just continue until you are happy with the look!
p.s. On the left is what it should look like prior to wrapping around your glassware.  Then you want to take whatever “glass” object you are using and lay it flat on top of the tissue paper.
p.s. Tape down that first piece and start rolling. (hint: if you use two sheets in some spots it will make it look darker)
p.s. The one on the left I simply brushed on a little mod podge then sprinkled Martha’s vintage leaf glitter on it and it officially has been jaderbombed. The one on the right I made it look ombre which is so pretty while lit. I just embellished it with that fancy little spider.
p.s. Look how cute this baby is! Has a great jewel on it’s head! So festive!
Sending you all the vintage leaf glitter to sparkle your house up with,
jaderbomb

Poo Up Wedding Decorations

Happy Tuesday my little Jaderbugs!  I hope everyone’s day is going just as planned. If it’s not…Just take what you have and make the best of it! After all it’s the end that matters! 
This craft that we are doing today is SUPER duper fun.  While I was sewing the strips of vellum together my brain started working in overtime! {{like I’m not ADD enough}}…..
You can do this craft for birthday parties, weddings, holidays, or special events! You can make it super clean and crisp by doing all white or you can do every color of the rainbow. ENDLESS I tell ya! 
Don’t forget~ Martha Stewart’s new season started yesterday and if you have not watched it yet, you have to put it on your to-do list! It’s on Hallmark! I’ll see you there…
Don’t forget also that next week is craft week {{hint hint}}….. 
Well gotta run, my head is taking off and I have to go catch it {{winking}}
Sending you love sewn together,
jaderbomb
