Cowardly Lion Memory Frame Necklace

Celebrate The Wizard of Oz movie's 75th anniversary 

with this necklace

Or make your own, whatever, I'm not the boss of you.

 For the front of the necklace I cut this out 

from scrapbook paper

You could also find a picture online or scan a picture from a book

 I cut out the word courage from the dictionary

I originally cut out the entire definition but it wouldn't fit.

I should have scanned it from the page and edited it to fit.

I put it in a memory frames pendant in between two glass slides (sold separately)

Because it is between glass both the front 

and back are visible 

depending which way you want to wear it

 

Ta-Daa!

you can also do it with Mod Podge on a blank dog-tag like I have below

but that is a tutorial for another day

30 Sucks

I made this for a much older than me (wink) friend's 30th birthday

You will need

• floral foam 
• cardstock
• suckers
• decorative tape
• letter/number stickers (I used my Cricut machine instead)

 Wrap the cardstock around the foam like it was a present

but leave a strip of space unwrapped.

Tape up the ends with decorative tape.

The tape is doing double duty here; 

it has to hold the cardstock on the foam and look good doing it.

Stick all thirty suckers into the exposed areas of the foam.

Use stickers or cut out "30 sucks"

No stickers or Cricut? Make it on the computer or 

use one of mine below.

Ladybug Box

Re-purpose a coffee mug gift box 

Now it matches my daughter's room 

and we keep her headbands in it

I had a container similar to this one except it was black.

I painted over the existing logo on the container with black acrylic paint. Do not over paint near the top or else the lid won't fit.

For the lid I glued red and black felt to look like a ladybug.

Here are some other ideas....go nuts

Baby Headband

So cute and it won't look like it is squeezing your baby's head.

Cut two pieces of ribbon. 

The longer one must fit around the baby's head; the shorter one must be long enough to tie into a bow.

Tie the shorter one in a bow around the longer one.

Cut velcro and sew it on the ends of the longer ribbon.

Boom! Done.

Now all you need is a cute baby.
