A few cool things!!!!

Here are some projects I finished the last 3 days.  All 3 I found on Pinterest of course!! 

Here was one of Tony's father's day gifts!  I took a black foam board and arranged pictures on it.  I used double tape to stick them to the board.  Then I used Mod Podge and painted that over the pictures as a sealer! 
I want to do this for our living room with just random pictures I don't have frames for.   Minus the I love dad part ;0)
This took about 1 hour to make and $15 to make!  (Would've been less but I bought the foam board at Hobby Lobby and I'm pretty sure I could've gotten it cheaper somewhere else.)


This was kinda scary because I felt like I was going to ruin it but I promise it dries clear.




This is a before picture of just a plain old cookie sheet I was actually going to throw out because it was very old and starting to rust just  little.  

This is the after picture!!!  I spray painted it and wrote all the letters to the alphabet on it with a paint pen.  Kristiana was so excited when she saw it.  I called it her letter game!  She has to match the magnetic letters to the painted letter.  I showed her how the letter stick to it and she just thought I was the coolest mom EVER!  LOL  This took about 1 hour (mostly drying time for the paint) and cost me NOTHING!  I had everything here already!!! ;0) LOVE IT!


Then I had the idea to put Antonio and her name on the other side to help them learn the letters in their names!!!   I think every daycare or teacher or anyone with a 2-5 year old should make this!!!! 

LOVE this project!!!  My 4th of July tulle wreath!   This was easy and fun to make!!  Took me about 45 min and approx $12 BUT I have enough tulle left over to make maybe 2 more.  If you want one comment and I can whip one up for you too for $6.00!  I might cut out some stars and stick them in there somewhere.
