Stenciled Baby Gifts

Dooby Dooo woppp wop woppppp! That is EXACTLY how I feel right now! I just want to tell you that I am sorry if you feel like I don’t write too “personal” anymore but GOODNESS GRACIOUS this Martha countdown is putting me to the test! I already feel like I have accomplished SO much just since I started this so I can about imagine how I will feel on the last day. When I start getting really stressed {{which is every second of every day now}} I just step back and ~~get more stressed out~~ realize all the good things that have come out of this. All of the wonderful people I have met and the new life long friends I will have. I love all of my Martha people and I am so happy I have them on speed dial! Let’s just refer to them from now on as my “NEW YORK FAMILY”…..What cha think! OK let’s get to crafting because I have LOT’s more to post tonight! By the way, HAPPY 1st of DECEMBER!

I absolutely love this stencil set. It has little baby stencils for pretty much EVERY holiday! Click here to get some!

Some bright colored bibs.

Gold glitter paint and fabric medium.

Place your stencil on the surface you want.

DIY Cork Trivet

Happy CORK day! If you are like me then you LOVE corks! I always keep my corks. They always come in handy I tell ya!!!

They don’t just keep your wine from spilling and spoiling; corks can also protect your tables and countertops from hot pots and pans. Hope you enjoy this craft!!!

Grab some corkeyroos.

Put a bead of hot glue on one side of the cork.

Once you start putting them together it will start to form it’s shape.

Get a piece of ribbon.

Fold it in half and apply it to corks using hot glue. {{you can totally see that I put WAY too much hot glue on this baby}}

This is what it will look like when you are done! The cool thing is you can make ANY shape you want and it will be BEAUTIFUL!!!

Wishing you a corky day, Jaderbomb

Martha Stewart Countdown #62 Rope Coasters

Totally another day that is going by SOOOO fast!! I hope everyone’s day is going FABULOUS!!!!

If your looking for the best gift to give someone or if you want to make something for yourself then these coasters will do the trick. Suggesting the casual atmosphere of the seaside with their cheerful hues and nautically inspired coils of cotton rope. Since they are inexpensive and easy to make, you can have plenty of them on hand to put alongside all of the drinks that you’ll soon be serving. I think what is great about twine is that you can use it for ANY holiday! This is something I have on hand ALL OF THE TIME!

Grab some good ole twine!

and some good ole Martha Stewart paint…

Take the end of the twine and place a pin in it (into cardboard). This is secure it in place.

It should start coming together!

Tadahhh.. For some reason this picture does not look at good as it does in person. I think it was the glitter reflecting the wrong way! What cha think.. I think we should blame it on the glitter!!

Sending you glitter that does NOT reflect in pictures, your jaderbomb

Martha Stewart Countdown #61 Bottle-Cap Magnets

Well Well Well…. What shall we talk about today? I will show you step by step how to turn a dingy old bottle cap into a cute and chic magnet for your ice box. Some of the Ingredients you will need are:

1-inch circular craft punch
Craft glue
Bottle caps
Clear casting resin
Contact cement
Small magnets or thumbtacks

Some of the ingredients shown above~

If you don’t have a stamp to cut your circle you can use a quarter as a template.
When you find a picture you love get a quarter and place it on top of the image. Gently cut around the quarter with scissors or a razor blade. Either one works great.

Next step: You will place the peel n stick magnet on the bottom of each bottle cap.

Turn the bottle caps upside down now and we will prepare for the next step. You will take the pieces that you cut out of the magazines and glue them inside of the bottle cap.

You will take the picture you cut out of the magazine and squirt glue onto the back of it. After you apply the glue you will simply place the piece of paper inside the bottle cap. Take your finger and press to make sure the paper is firmly touching the bottom of bottle cap.

Above is what they will look like with just the pictures in the bottle caps.

CUTE HUH~~

Next you will get your Polyurethane and take a spoonful of it and carefully pour it into the top of bottle cap. You want to fill it all the way to the top. Mine is a darker shade because I wanted them to look kinda old and antique. You can get clear if you want the images to show up more clearly.

Once poured and dried this is what they look like.

I posted the picture above to show you that if you have any air pockets after you fill the bottle caps up and you don’t pop them, this is what will happen. I actually like them more like this but it can be prevented~

Tadahhhh~~~ This is how they look when completed! They are so cute and it’s a great way to personalize as gifts! I know I would absolutely LOVE getting a couple of these for Christmas~~

Going to bed early for the first time in MONTHS… For real you will NOT see me creeping in a little bit.. Love each and every one of my jaderbugs!

Martha Stewart Countdown #60 Pencil Stamps

OK! I am obsessed with making note cards lately! Thank goodness Martha likes note cards! For some reason I just love giving someone something that I have made! I am POSITIVE you will too. It’s a rewarding feeling when someone looks at something and they have that “wow, did you really make that” look on their face! Then you say “YEP, I DID”

Instead of using your pencil eraser to make marks disappear, turn it into a stamp and make playful pictures appear on cards and wrapping paper. Just press the eraser into an ink pad, and stamp polka dots onto paper. Or cut the eraser with a utility knife to create different looks: Half an eraser makes a half-moon, and a third creates a delicate crescent.

I used Martha Stewart’scraft knife and ink pads.

I hope you make tons and tons of notecards for all of your loved ones. Just think of the look on their face when they see it.

Lot’s polka dot love being sent your way, Jaderbomb

Martha Stewart Countdown #59 Peacock Photo Display

Martha Stewart’s Encyclopedia of Crafts is filled with TONS of awesome crafts! The one I am showing you now is fantastic. You can go to stores and purchase these babies for lot’s of moolah! Guess I never really realized just how easy they were to make!

Dress up your desk with reminders, your home with Christmas cards, a birthday gift with memorable pictures on it or stick it in your kitchen with to do notes! The possibilities are endless! Just tuck the pictures into the loops of this fan shaped baby and your set!

All you need for this craft is wire and needle nose pliers. It’s fun to know you have common things around your house that make the most unique gifts! See, it’s about using what we ALREADY have!

Snip two 16-inch pieces..two 15-inch pieces…three 14-inch pieces…and four 13 inch pieces.

Grab one end of the wire and make a loop like this. This is the loop that will hold the pictures.

This is how I made my loops. ((don’t mind ashy’s dirty fingers haha) I used a marker and wrapped the wire around it. {{trust me it makes it so easy}}

Bundle all of the loose pieces of wire together leaving the 4 longest ones sticking out like this.

Look how pretty all the ends look!

After you bundle them together you want to wrap the bundle with 28 gauge wire. Ending where the shorter wires end.

You now want to spread out the four long wire out. This will make a base for you. Use needle nose pliers to make a small loop at the end of each long wire.

And there you have it. Your very own photo ((or whatever you want)) display. Can you believe it’s that easy! You can spray paint this baby if you want to dress it up. I think I will spray mine GOLD.. If I do I will update with a picture of it! Happy Crating!

Full of happiness today, jaderbomb
