I have been enjoying coming up with projects that you can recreate. Today I have 3 projects for you to feast your eyes on.
Project #1 (Home Decor)
What you will need: bottles, stazon ink
Note: I purchased these bottles from Ikea for .25 cents each!--Search for unique bottles at the $ store, big box stores, thrifts stores.
I began by inking my stamp in Cotton White StazOn and then stamped it over the surface. Heat set with a heat tool.
Here is a close up of the bottle. Did you notice that flower? Can you imagine 70s owl eyes with that??? Do you recognize that flower from a previous set made by Nichole?
Project #2 (Home Decor)
What you will need: candle holders, StazOn ink, heat tool
Note: I purchased these candle holders from Ikea.
I began by inking my stamp in Cotton White StazOn and then rolled it over the rounded surface. Tip: If you make a mistake you can quickly wipe it off most surface. You can also try removing a "mistake" using a sanding block on certain surfaces too. Make sure you heat it to set it with the heat tool.
I just LOVE adding a special touch to my home decor. This project was completed in less than 3 minutes.
Project #3 (Gift)
What you will need: hair clips, polyshrink, stazon, sharpie markers, hot glue gun/glue sticks
I will begin with the owl hair clips. I started this project by stamping my owl with Timber Brown on white polyshrink.
Next, I coloured my images with my sharpie markers. Please note: you have to stay in the lines if you are using sharpie markers with StazOn because the sharpie pens can remove the StazOn ink. I believe it has to do with the makeup of both products. They don't mesh too well. That being said, I have had a lot of luck making all sorts of charms using these products together as long as I am colouring carefully *lol* You'll note that colouring on plastic doesn't produce a perfect look but once the item is smaller it is very hard to tell.
Then I cut out my owl leaving a small white outline around my owl.
Then I prepared my glue gun and dabbed a little hot glue under my owl and attached it to the hairclip. Make sure you do this fairly quickly as the glue dries in a flash.
Here is how they turned out! My daughter already has them in her hair.

Those hair clips are so cute, love all the things you´ve been making with them, soo versatile.
With the polishrink can you use another tipe of marker or does it have to be the permanent kind?
Thanks for all the ideas

I can't WAAAAAIIIIIT for this owl set! I just LOVE that it's so customizable! All the owls sets I've been tempted to buy, I always wanted to "put those eyes on THAT owl" and "those feet should be with THAT guy", etc. So this set speaks to me in many ways! Thanks!

Jazzing up the home decor! You always have a new idea for us. Clocks yesterday, barrettes and vases today! That owl has so many options, I LOVe all of the bellies that you showed us with the clock yesterday!
You come up with such great projects! Your sets and PTI sets translate well to non-cards/other projects because of their style and design. My home is modern-ish and these projects fit my lifestyle more than the super cutesy things I see! Thanks for the ideas!
I love all 3 of your projects today. I recently have really gotten into the home decor thing and my daughter just loved the hair clips. Looks like I will be making those soon. Thanx for sharing.
Beautiful!!! Keep up the great work!
