DIY Sea Glass Votives
Recently I saw beautiful votive candle holders in a catalog and I wanted to recreate the look myself. With major inspiration from Pinterest and another Mod Podge project I did a while back, I figured out how to recreate the look myself.
And then I used it on a Mason Jar too! I used Outdoor Mod Podgeand Vitrea Glass Paintfor this project.
You can use blue and green food coloring instead of the Vitrea glass paint too.
The jar came from the dollar store.
I basically only added enough paint/food color to the Mod Podge to give it the color I wanted.
This can be done in any color, I used turquoise!
Using Outdoor Mod Podge means I can use these on my deck when the weather gets nicer.
Did you even know there was such a thing?
It seems to be waterproof!
I brushed on a light coat of the mixture and le…

In preparation for my new physicallocation of Homeroad I've lined upseveral of my favorite projects.
How to Make Buoy Coastal Hang Tags
Last year I made these adorable nautical hang tags.
You can read all about them by visiting this bold link.
Just recently Deb, a friend of Homeroad, contacted me and asked me if I had any left, she wanted them for the tables at her son's rehearsal dinner.
Since it was the middle of winter, driftwood was hard to come by so I convinced Deb to try another idea.
I happen to have the slats from a 100 year old oak barrel in my basement.
She asked me if it was possible to make 10 of them look like buoys, each one a little different.
I cut up the slats and made a sample...
Pin for later --->>>
She loved it!
So I got to work making 10 buoy hang tags... all a little different.
A few days later, off they went to hang on centerpieces for her son's rehearsal dinner.

DIY Nautical Photo Frames
This unusual find was catching my eye at the thrift store... so I bought 2.
Rustic Shelf with a Handle
A rustic little shelf with a big old industrial handle.
The old handle came from a gate.
The boards for the box were once an old fence.
Taken apart and reassembled as a shelf, the handle and a metal tag add just enough industrial bling to make this little shelf special.
Repurposed & Reloved.
If you love the look of this galvanized steel table top check out how it was made here.

Organizing a Hutch
When you are trapped in the house for days on end due to snow...
There is only one thing to do...
Clean and Organize!
I took everything out of the hutch and organized the dishes. I made a pile for Goodwill and a pile for my daughter.
The inside of my hutch is painted a chippy green so the white ironstone really pops.
The library card catalog is from my grandfather's workshop.
He had it filled with tools, I have it filled with candles.
This hutch is a giant vintage reproduction hutch made of mahogany and weighs a ton!
I added some pretties to the top, the wood ceiling is very high...
