My succulent was sad and depressed so I made her a lovely home to hang out in. Who would of ever thunk it! A planter made out of cupcake liners. However this would not have been possible without the help of beautifully designed cupcake liners, right! Remember my cupcake hat that was featured in KIDS CRAFTS 123!cupcake liner planter

sponsored-postHowdy Jaderbugs today I will show you how to make the coolest duck tape frame! I do a duck tape post each month and we all know if I could wrap myself in duck tape I would! Especially all of their new designs. I love duck tape because I can transform things in my home within minutes like this frame! Don’t forget to enter my giveaway at the bottom of the post!

Today I will show you an easy way to dress up a frame using the Duck Brand’s new DUCK FABRIC mini rolls. The design I am using in this tutorial is Coral Stripe. I am completely in love with the colors and the pattern. I believe this could go in anyone’s space very easily.

Duck Tape Frame

You will need:
*Frame of choice. I like using a distressed frame so the edges show a little  character.
*Fabric Duck Tape
*Scissors

distressed frame suppliesDress up a frame
Step ONE: Cut a piece of tape that is long enough to hang off both ends of the frame.
Step TWO: Peel the backing off of your fabric tape. Make sure to do it carefully so it does not stick to the other end of the tape. duck tape fabric tape
Using a distressed frame gives the sides some texture also.

How awesome is this print! You can do so much with it aside from making a wallet! These designs are screaming for any adult to play with them! Scouts HONOR! (hehe)How to use Duck TapeStep THREE: Cut all the of the tape that hangs over the edge of frame.
I really love the look of this frame and it’s so easy to create. The good news is this fabric tape can be pulled off when you are tired of it and you can put another design down. MAGICAL!scissors to cut duck tape

Jewelry takes people’s minds off your wrinkles – Sonja Henie

Hey everyone! I am just getting back from the most amazing trip ever and I wanted to share this tutorial with you on making Color Blocked Gold Bracelets . I will be sharing more about the my trip later this week so make sure to come back and check it out!

If you are like me then you can sometimes be cheap! Very cheap!

I personally call it being “smart”, right. I found a set of gold bracelets a while back at Old Navy and bought them. Check out what I was REALLY doing there when I found them.  I wasn’t sure exactly what I would do with them but I knew I would figure it out and it would be RAD. If you like gold check out this cute gold flag banner I made for a cake.

I finally decided I wanted to add a splash of color to them. Finger nail polish is the best thing to apply to metal because it stays on for a LONG time. Let’s get started.Color Blocked Gold Bracelets How beautiful are these bracelets. I knew they would be a hit on my vacation and now I am madly in love with them. I think I need about 10 more on my wrist.

You will need:
1. Nail Polish
2. Gold Bracelets or Gold ChainHOW TO PAINT METAL JADERBOMBI am using Covergirl outlast stay brilliant nail polish. I am in love with all of their colors and they fit perfectly with my smile!

If you want to purchase all of the colors from one spot make sure to click my affiliate links below! The colors I am using in this post are:
1. Mint Mojito 285
2. Snow Storm 110
3. Go-Go Mango 245
4. Salt Water Taffy (not sure of number)FINGERNAIL POLISHED JEWELERY

COVERGIRL NAIL POLISH DIY

15 gold diy'sStep 1:  Lay out your gold bracelet on a clean surface and coat one side with nail polish.painting gold braceltsMove on to the next one and remember to coat one side at a time. It doesn’t take too long for the polish to dry. In 10 minutes you can flip it over and do the other side. I like to do about 2 good coats  of each color. My goal is to give it a matte finish. how to paintYou can see below how it will look if you only do one side of the bracelet. Depending on the links I would decide if I wanted to do both sides on some of them. diy braceletsOne tip I have when storing bracelets is to sling them over the top of a really cool jar. You can find these at garage sales or vintage stores. Plus it looks really pretty. EASY KIDS CRAFTS

BIG HUGS TO ALL OF YOU GLITTERY CRAFTERS! XOXO, JADE

You don’t have to carry a designer bag that costs more than a car to look cool.
-Kesha

Today I will teach you how to become a Fashion Blogger.  I totally think I missed my calling in life and you will completely see this in the pictures below.

Yes, that would be a high end fashion model… You don’t think?

My son actually took these pictures and we figured out two things after he took them.
1- He should be a high end fashion photographer (attention attention)
2- He know’s all about shutter speed (or this was just luck)

Who’s ready to see the REAL way to take pictures of “bags” for your BLERG.

Check out my tie dyed shirt I did for Old Navy and this canvas bag for I love to Create. Click on the links and you will see the FULL tutorial.

EXAMPLE 1: STAND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH BAG SLIGHTLY COVERING THE TOP PART OF YOUR LEGS.

CAREFUL NOW THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS. fashion picturesEXAMPLE 3: STAND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD TOUCH THE BAG WITH ONE HAND LIKE YOU ARE PROTECTING IT FROM ALIENS WHILE OTHER HAND IS BENT AND SEXY. P.S. DON’T FORGET TO BEND ONE KNEE, NOT TWO. JUST ONE. how to pose for picturesEXAMPLE 4: STAND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND JUMP STRAIT UP WITH KNEES BENT.  REMEMBER WE STILL NEED TO LOOK WHIMSICAL AND SEXY ALL WHILE KEEPING THE BAG IN THE PICTURE. WE CAN SEE I OBVIOUSLY SUCCEEDED HERE. jumping in pictures EXAMPLE 5: STAND ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHILE HOLDING YOUR BAG AND PRETEND TO RUN AFTER A CAB WHILE SMILING AND POINTING YOUR TOES.learn to run in pictures
EXAMPLE 6: RUN ACROSS THE ROAD WHILE TRYING TO DO A SPLIT IN THE AIR ( BUT NOT TOO MUCH )

TRY TO MAKE YOUR HAIR FLOAT IN THE PICTURE SO YOU LOOK LIKE A DISNEY PRINCESS. How to become a Fashion BloggerI mean, I will be honest with you. It’s that easy to become a fashion model. If I can make it so can you. Stay tuned for the next photo shoot with a really cool Old Navy Striped Dress.

Today it’s all about my trip to Old Navy and this fabulous Powder Dyed Shirt. Let’s be real, when you add Tie-Dye to anything you get a bundle of happiness. Here is PROOF!Powder Dyed ShirtWhen I was asked by I love to Create to make a fabulous DIY with some of Old Navy’s new line of spring clothes I was JUMPING FOR JOY, literally. I had no clue what I was planning on creating until I walked in the store. I think for a minute I was upset I only had to create ONE thing once my eyes saw the new spring line. I know you will love this powder dyed technique I used so let’s check it out. kBe sure what you want and be sure about yourself. Fashion is not just beauty, it’s about good attitude. You have to believe in yourself and be strong
-Adriana Lima

As you can see there were so many choices. I knew I wanted crisp and bold so I ended up going with this “Textured-Dobby Shirt”. Since I am using Tulip Tie-Dye I made sure the shirt was 100% cotton. I almost bought these white pants and pink button down but I changed my mind in the end.

Wahoo! Time to check out and CREATE! Yep, you see that black and white striped ball? I can’t wait to show you what I created with this. 11.jpg
You will need:
* Tulip Tie-Dye
* Women’s Textured-Dobby Shirts
whiteshirt
I am using the Mini Tie-Dye Kit. DSC_0139As you can see the bottles have powder inside of them already. We will not fill the bottles with water for this project. DSC_0141STEP ONE: Fill a bowl with water and wet your shirt. learn to tie dye
STEP TWO: Twist water out of shirt and lay it down on a clean surface, flat and unbuttoned. Lay your shirt on a garbage bag if you can’t find a clean spot.

STEP THREE: Remove cap from bottle and lightly shake bottle over wet shirt. The powder will slowly start coming out of the bottle. kids crafts
I used all of the colors in the pack. If you are not a fan of bright colors you can use one or two colors. This technique looks great with a single color or multiple colors. how to mix dyeI love how all of the colors start bleeding together. If you know me then you know bright it right! mixing colorsYou want to let the powder sit on the wet shirt for a couple of hours. The longer it sits the brighter the colors will be. confetti tie dye
I simply love the dye that was left behind. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. DSC_0202After a few hours I rinsed my shirt under cool running water then washed it separately. WOWZERS! I am so happy with the way it turned out. DSC_0193old navy tie dyed shirtDSC_0195
This shirt looks great paired with anything. POWDER DYED SHIRTcraftgawker
