Altered Flip Flops

I am one of those people that can never wear those cheap knock around flip flops with the rubber straps. They hurt between my tows. So when a friend shares this tutorial from The Mother Huddle, I knew i finally had a reason to take advantage of all those great summer sales! Are these not the cutest thing? You could do so many things with these! You could forgo the fabric and try rope, leather, lace, ribbon, etc. And think of all the ways to embellish them! Buttons, beads, flowers, feathers, bows, etc. No one will ever have the same flip flops as you again! LOL Anyway back to the reason for this post. These are the pair I made today. I love them, They are super comfy! And when my daughter breaks hers... it never fails she breaks the knobby thing off the bottom of at least one pair a summer.) I will now have an easy fix for it! I am going to try to make my 2 yr old a pair soon. 

I hope you like these! If you make some please leave a comment with a link to yours!

Domino Magnets

I found myself in need of some quick gift ideas. Then I ran across these on the CTMH bulletin board. I had to try my hand at them. They were super easy to make as well. I think I am in love with Stazon inks lol 

Quick instructions...

Supplies:
Dominos
Stazon Ink pad
Versamark (or embossing ink pad)
Chalks
Embossing powder
Modpoge or other sealer
Makeup sponge
Magnets
An adhesive for plastics (I used Amazing Goop)

Stamp directly onto the domino with Stazon.

Press the stamped domino onto the versamark pad.

Apply chalk by dabbing it onto the stamped image. Do not wipe, it will wipe the versamrk off the domino. And that is what it holding the ink to it.

Press the domino into an embossing pad then cover with embossing powder and heat set.

With a make up wedge sponge apply the sealer to the the domino and let dry.

Attach a magnet to the domino using the adhesive.

See like I said pretty simple. You can add glitter or micro beads to these as well. Get creative!
