Designer Paper Tile Coasters

I made a few sets of these coasters for my last craft fair, using up some designer papers! I love this retired paper design… I think It's called spice cake. 

 These aren't hard to make but do involve a bunch of steps so they take a few days from start to finish by the time you do it all!  To make these, I used mod podge to adhere the paper to the tiles. To make them water-resistant you will need to use a sealer as well. I used several coats of acrylic spray sealer, waiting for it to dry between coats. (I did this outside on my porch since it's very stinky). I also glued cork onto the bottoms so that they don't scratch your table!

For the craft fair I wanted to tie them together but wanted shoppers to know that they were all different designs so I created these cute tags that show the different patterns in each stack. That way, they know what they are getting. I love how these turned out!

Snowman mints treat

I made a bunch of these cuties to sell at the last craft fair I did. These are simple to make if you have the right punches.  You cover the peppermint patties with scalloped circles and then layer the snowman circles over the top. I didn't have small circle stamp and didn't want to glue on buttons for all of them so I used a new pencil with a fresh eraser top, using the eraser as a stamp. It's the perfect size! the nose is a point cut off from a punched star and the pink cheeks were created by adding on pink chalk with a q tip.  Then I put them in a skinny pretzel bag (found in the candy making  section at the local craft store) and tied the top with ribbon. The tag says "some of my best friends are flakes" and is from an old retired stamp set I had! 

I think he's just adorable!

Clothespin Magnets

Now that the craft fair is over I have some more fun items to share with you... I was too busy creating to post much while I was making these! The Clothespin magnets turned out so awesome! They do take a little time to make but the effort was worth it I think. To make these I picked out some of my favorite designer papers and glued them onto both sides of the clothespins and then sanded the edges and used modge podge to seal them. When choosing clothespins for this make sure they don't have cracks or rough edges, there were some in the pack that weren't as nice as others.

Then I let them dry overnight and embellished the next day. I made some with flowers:




And a few with owls punched out using the owl punch:

And a few with roses (this is NOT a die from SU...naughty, I know but I do a have a few other sizzix dies!)


Here is what the back looks like. These size of these little magnets works perfect and they're nice and strong!


Here is how they looked all packed up in cello bags with headers for the craft show!

Craft Fair Recap!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while... once I post today you will see why - I've been super busy creating goodies for the craft fair I participated in last weekend! I didn't get the best photos since I forgot to charge my camera and had to snap a few quick ones before the battery died but you can get an idea of what I had there.

Here's an over pic of the booth. A friend of mine gave me this big black display board-- it worked perfect to display my wreaths and magnetic memo boards:


In the middle I hung a piece of metal to display my domino magnets and some clothespin magnets too:

Here you can see the fall lolly wreath a little better along with my dry-erase frames:


And here is the Christmas wreath and more magnetic memo boards:


Of course I had lots of poops:



Thank so much to everyone who came to visit me. The day was a pretty good success and my booth was pretty steady the whole day! I had lots of compliments on how nice it looked. I do have a bunch of stuff left so let me know if you see anything you love and want to buy!!
