DIY: Getting Crafty!

Now that the worst of the morning sickness is over (I hope!), I have been working on more crafts & organizing! Before we left WA, I had been wandering around Michaels Arts and Crafts store and found stencils and paint for glass.  I thought, "Wow! This could really brighten up my plain vases & dishes."  Here is a website with more of what Michaels carries... though I'm sure you could find these products at any craft store: http://www.michaels.com/Gloss-Enamels/cp0357,default,pd.html.

These are the paintbrushes that I purchased at Michaels, they work well, but you may have to do a few layers.  This is also the brand that I used for the stencils, which I really recommend.  The stencils stay on your product very well & can be reused numerous times!

This is the brand of paint that I use.  I wish that I had bought more colors while we were still in the States.  These colors are so vibrant!

The finished product!  Brightens up my kitchen wonderfully.

I loved this project because it is fairly simple and didn't take up hours of my day.  Plus, like I already mentioned, it has really made a difference brightening up my kitchen!  I can't wait to do more projects like this one!
