Clothespin Apron

 I finally made my clothespin apron. I always wanted one out of ticking, and it happened! I got this ticking for....

better sit down....

$1.78.

Yeah.

How's that for a great price? 5/8 yard remnant at the local fabric store. Loving it!!

Super simple design - follow the same instructions for a half apron, but do not gather the waistband. For the pocket, simply iron over the four edges, hem the top edge, pin it on and sew!

Super simple. I love the idea of using ticking for a clothespin apron because it's thick and sturdy, and it's so cute too!

Thanks for stopping by!! I'd love to have you link up at my link party!

DIY Mercury Glass Candleholders

Yay!! I made mercury glass candleholders! I saw a tutorial for these in a magazine, and just couldn't resist. Here's the good part: I got the candleholders at Dollar Tree, so they were only $1 each!! The mirror paint is Krylon brand - you can get it anywhere that sells paint. It's a little bit pricey - $6.84 or so per can, but it's totally worth it. I got the candles at Meijer - 2 for $3!! Can't beat that!

How-to:

All you have to do is spritz the inside of the candleholder with water, and then spray it with paint. Set it upside down on newspaper and let it dry. Repeat 2-3 more times, or until you get the desired effect. You may want to set it upright one of the times while it's drying so the "watermarks" aren't all traveling upwards. 

It's as easy as that! They would make great gifts as well, and they're definitely a cheap way to make something neat! I've seen them at different places for anywhere from $5-$20.
