sponsored postComing to you live from my messy studio with a major quack announcement. There is a new tape out on the loose! That’s right, a new decorative tape called DECO TAPE.

It’s fierce, it’s bold and it will dress up everything in your life. Why be drabby when you can be “duck tape savvy”… (yes I just made that up)

Today I will show you how to transform plain tags into ones that scream “LOOK AT ME”…

This tape comes in 4 different designs. You can use this tape to dress up anything from stationery to a phone case!

DUCK TAPE DECO TAPE You simply tear a piece off and wrap it around the bottom portion of the tag. I tore a long piece to make sure it wrapped around the back completely then I cut the excess off with scissors. DECORATE WITH DUCK TAPE HOW TO MAKE WASHI TAPE LABELS

Today it is all about mugs. I don’t know about you but I somehow collect way too many mugs and what happens is I never can decide which one I actually want to drink out of. I guess just like the clothes I wear I believe my coffee cup defines what kind of mood I am in or want to be in.

What? You don’t think so? Shoots, maybe I am just a nut case but at least I am a nutcase than could throw a banging coffee party. Remember my coffee party I did for Martha? You know you could always use these printables for a banging party too!

“I like light green, sometimes red is fun to look at, not a fan of yellow, unless it’s in a rainbow or on a coffee mug or on a happy face.”

How to Stencil Mugs The great thing about Martha Stewart’s stencils is the fact that they have a nice adhesive backing to them. This is good because they will not budge when you paint on them. martha stewart adhesive stencils

Start by placing them on the mugs wherever you want. Don’t worry, if you mess up you can remove them and reapply them where you want. numbered mugs diyOnce your stencil is secure squirt a little bit of glass paint inside of your stencil. how to write on glassI love using daubers because they distribute the paint nice and even through out the stencil. They also help prevent bleeds since you are apply in an up and down motion. martha stewart dauberApply one even coat and re-apply a second coat 10 minutes later. If you want a really opaque look add a third coat. how to stamp glass

Before your paint dries pull off your stencil and place it in a bowl of water.

Take them out of the water when you are done and place them on a paper towel. Grab another paper towel and apply a little stencil cleaner to it. Gently rub the stencil and the paint will come off. how to clean stencilsmartha steawart stencilsAllow them to dry over night and if you want lock in the paint you can bake them in the oven. The directions to doing that is on the bottle. numbered mugsI hope you enjoyed this easy and fun DIY tutorial.

Today I am sharing something that makes me smile from ear to ear. My top 10 DIY Posts of 2013! HOLY COW, 2013 is OVER! I can’t even believe it’s over already. I honestly remember 2000 happening last week and now 14 years later.

This past year was by far my BEST year ever with so many things. I graduated college, my blog GREW (WHOA IT GREW), I came OUT on my blog, I started working with some GREAT brands, my site got HACKED (thanks Max for fixing that because I got to finally design my site the way I wanted) and my son who is almost 14 (WHAT) is happy and healthy! I am so thankful to the UNIVERSE for everything. She really does listen. When you manifest good things, good things come. I never imagined the success that would come along with a little blog I started almost 4 years ago. I could go on for day’s but I think this might sum everything up for you.

THANK YOU! 2014 has already started extremely well and I can’t wait to announce tom just one thing super exciting! Lot’s of FUN things to tell you but I have to wait till I get permission for each of them! Are you on your toes yet? Top 10 DIY Posts of 2013 - WWW.JADERBOMB.COM

I don’t know about you but if you add glitter to anything you will put an instant smile on my face. Today we will be making Glitter Dishes!

I started playing around with paper plates a few weeks ago creating a few easy ways to “dress” them up. I think I was successful with it, what do you think?! I mean, I truthfully hate washing dishes and putting them up so why not serve anyone out of fancy paper plates. It’s not like I am having Christmas at my house but if I did I would lay all these babies out!

Check out these I made with ribbon and these with lace!

howtouseglitterSprinkle glitter over the wet Mod Podge. Don’t worry if it’s not perfect because after all it’s just going to be used as decoration. Did I mention you will throw it away after it’s used!

I coated the underneath of the bowl just to add a little more love. thingstodowithglitterglitteredplatesglitterdishesIt’s seriously that simple! Fun thing is you can make them for every holiday and it will not break the bank.

What will you use your glittered bowls for?
