New bag... 4:49 PM

I got this tote at Hobby Lobby and wanted to upgrade it a bit so that I can carry the necessary things that I never think about carrying with me for my daughter.

I really wanted to use the pink fabric I had purchased to wrap it.

But I'm not sure If I added too much glue under the fabric or this fabric didn't want to be decoupaged to this kind of fabric but this wasn't working out. You see all those marks of glue seeping through, and then I added modpodge on TOP of it and it looked even worse. So the solution...Buy another one and start over.

This time I decided to use Folkart acrylic paint in #2850 Neon Pink all over and Folkart in #2241 Apple Green on the trim. I added Hot Topic stickers and here's my basic tote.

I still need to finish painting the inside of the handles, maybe even adding some ribbon, hmm don't know how that would look.

Not too shabby... 5:29 PM

I am little by little trying to decorate my kids room and I went with pink and black. So I decided to give decoupage furniture a try. And I went big. I have had this little yard sale ugly little brown dresser for 4 yrs that is in my kids room.
I never thought about spray painting it or decoupaging it or anything until I started to release my inner craftiness.

I went to Hobby Lobby (LOVE THAT STORE) and found this fabric that goes well with the design of the same scrapbook paper I used to make the wall art.

I just cleaned off the dresser and just taped off the part I painted black with FOLKART ACRYLIC PAINT.

I just measured out whatever I was going to need and used MODPODGE to glue it all over.

I also bought this awesome pink fabric I was going to use to update a tote bag and noticed it would look great with the color scheme I was going for in her room so I incorporated it on the drawers, I took off those handles and painted them black, again with FOLKART PAINT. And this is the end result.

In total I spent $9.63
The black/white fabric was $5.49 a yard.
The pink fabric was on sale $4.14 a yard
I already had everything else.
