sprucing up a plain old garbage can (my first mod podge project!)
So I was super excited to use mod podge, and now I love it! I had this cheapo white garbage can in my guest bathroom, and the rest of it looks so nice, I just had to do somehting about the garbage can, as I am too cheap to go out and buy a nice one! If you chose to do this, I would suggest a straight flat edge garbage can as mine curved, which made it harder but still possible
so I cut out the right sizes I needed in scrapbook paper, and mod podged the garbage can. then put my paper on, and mod podged over the top, trying to smooth out all wrinkles and bumps, but I didnt 100% succeed....
this was my first time using mod podge and I did not realize how quickly that stuff dries!!! So it isnt perfect... but I still think its cuter! and you cant really see all the mistakes unless your looking close... and I dont think anyone will be inspecting my garbage can while using the bathroom... I hope!
sprucing up a picture frame
so recently I bought this picture frame from Walmart.... (please bear with my pictures, I am waiting on some new ones, but I needed to put SOMETHING in those blank spaces so I could hang it up!)
cute, but I am sure like a million other people have this exact same one.... so I spruced mine up a little bit!!!
I like it much better! More unique! So how did I do it??? It was super easy! I turned the frame upside down and traced the lettering onto scrapbook paper (I did each letter indiviually as I wanted each letter from different paper) Then I put some mod podge on the frame, and lined up my paper! then I put more mod podge over the top to finish it off!!!
