It's no secret that I'm a Pinterest junkie. I put Miss Kellie to bed and click away until I can no longer keep my eyes open. So today I let go of the mouse and did the dishes ~gasp~ and got to some craftin'!!
First up - I needed Mod Podge. I saw this tutorial about a month ago and was running low on my official Mod Podge (which is about $6 a bottle!!) - so I figured I give it a go.
You need:
50% glue (I got Elmer's on clearance)
50% water
jar with a top (a dollar store find)
I dumped the glue in the jar, filled the glue bottle with water and added that - stirred and done!! It looks just like Mod Podge and only cost me $2, and made about 14 oz.!!!! Killer deal - and I used it to attach my label and it works great!!
Now that I had newly mixed Mod Podge I was onto my second Pinterest project of the night. I have been seeing scrabble tiles all over Pinterest and on this link is a tutorial to show you how to make scrabble tile into a pendant. I have a scrabble game that was gifted to me about 12 years ago, which was still new in the plastic. I must say, anyone that knows me knows I couldn't spell my way out of a wet paper bag (without spell check that is) - so not a great gift for me.
This was super easy and I LOVE them - now I just need to figure out what to do with them. I took a stab at a necklace with the supplies I have on hand, but can't wait to take a tile with me to the craft store and find out exactly what need (want).
you too Pinterest is the best site ever I' am working on so many projects. I tell the hubby look isn't this amazing, why didn't we think of that it's hard to stop going to that site.

These turned out really cute! I've been wanting to make some scrabble tile pendants too, but I'm not willing to use the ones from our game {we actually do play it!} Maybe I'll get someone to buy me a second one for Christmas...lol.
