Mason Jar Storage Using Spray Paint

I used one paper towel per mason jar :)

I wrapped mine straight across, or tried to at least... It is harder than it seems :P  
I decided I didn't really care if it was perfectly straight though, so I got as close as I could.  

This helps to keep the spray paint from getting inside. 

Or make your Husband do it ;) 

5. Remove painters tape after the paint dries completely. We waited about 24 hours, but go with the instructions on your spray paint.

I chose to do mine diagonal, but you can do whatever you want :) 

And you're done! :)

Inspiration: The Beauty Department

I also made these using this method:

Frame With Clothespins DIY

If you read Monday's post, you'll know it was our 1 year anniversary, so I had to push my DIY day back a little bit.. forgive me? ;) Anyways, I wanted to create something to display some of our photos from our first year. When I saw this memo frame from shanty-2-chic.com, I knew it would be perfect.  So I made my version :) 

Glitter Clothespins
You will need: 
I used two coats, but it's kind of unnecessary because the glitter just goes on top. I also chose to do 3 of each color for a total of 12. I didn't know if I would use them all, but better to have too much than not enough :P 


Frame
You will need: 
*Not pictured: 3M hook that I used to attach frame to wall

*Side note: I split the clothespins and the frame into two parts for this post, but spray painting the frame was actually the very first thing I did, just because I wanted the frame to have a couple days to dry while I finished the clothespins. 
This is totally optional.. I used this 3M hook to hang the frame on the wall.


And there you have it :) A fun, simple way to display photos. I especially like it because it's so easy to switch out photos for new ones!  It's the first thing we've hung up in our room since we moved in two months ago.. Oops :P

Paint Sample Coasters

I love making coasters! It's so much fun, and oh so easy. There are SO many different possibilities for making coasters. And when I came across these from The Crafty CPA, I had to try them!


They aren't perfect, but I think they turned out pretty cute :) I don't think you can ever have too many coasters! For your own use, and they are great housewarming gifts!
