DIY Scrabble Tile Decoupage

You will need:

*Scrabble tiles that spell a word of your choice

*scrapbook paper

*scrapbooking stickers

*mod podge

*tacky glue

*jewels (optional)

*scrabble tile holder (optional)

1. Pick out the word you want to spell and find the tiles. Pick out some scrapbook paper and stickers that you want to use, you can do a pattern or random.

2. Trace a tile onto the scrapbook paper, make one for each letter. Cut the paper squares out and form your pattern on the tiles. Glue the paper squares onto the back of the tiles using tacky glue. 

3. Add the stickers and embellishments on top of the paper. Mod podge over the whole back and edges to seal the paper. Don't do too many coats on the ones with jewels because it will reduce the shine.

There you go! You have a chic scrabble word and if you get bored of that, flip them over for a cute design!

DIY Dress Form!

What you will need:

~masking tape (about one large roll)

~a model

~very tight t-shirt (for the model)

~newspaper (lots!)

~a long, thick wooden dowel

~scrap booking paper of your choice

~foam caulking for houses

~white flour

~water

1. First you need a model. I used my sister, thank you :). Have them put on the shirt and possibly some old shorts depending on how far down you want to go.

2. Start taping everything with the masking tape, make sure everything is well covered in about two layers

3. When you are satisfied with it make a couple horizontal lines across the upper back and lower back with a pencil then cut up the back, make sure not to cut her bra or necklace

4. Next you need to tape up the back, make sure to align the pencil marks. Tape over the arm holes and the neck hole.

5. Next fill the inside with crumpled up newspaper, grocery bags, whatever you have that will hold up well. Make sure to put the dowel in before it gets too full. Tape the bottom, securing the dowel in place; this is where you want to put some foam in.

6. Mix one cup flour for every 2 cups water to make the paper mache paste. Tear newspaper into strips, dip into the mixture and cover the entire body.

7. Let this dry for several days then repeat with the scrapbook paper. Voilà! you have your dress form!
