Top Eight Saturday Morning Necessities

In case you are thinking about trying some of these projects out, or have ideas of your own, I have compiled a list of the top eight things to keep on hand in case you are hit with a sudden craving for being crafty.


#1 Mod Podge

A jar of this eighth wonder of the world will cost about six bucks and last well past your crafty phase in life.




#2 Old Magazines

When painting, podging or gluing small items, use old magazines instead of newspaper underneath.  Newspaper sticks to your project and creates a mess.


#3 Paint Brushes

Keep different shapes and sizes, and most of all, keep them clean.  


#4 Acrylic Finish Spray

Throw a few dollars down for a can of this stuff to add a finishing touch and seal the deal on your creation. 


 #5 Paint 


This sounds obvious, but for less than a buck, you can afford to keep many different colors.  Fabric paint and acrylic paint are my top two.



#6 Tacky Glue


These little bottles of glue go a long way, and if you snag the variety pack, you will have your pick.

#7 Exacto Knife


For detail and small items that are overwhelmed by scissors, this little guy will get the job done.

#8 The Obvious


Make sure you have everyday items such as tape, scissors, pencils, a ruler, and other things that you typically see on a school supplies list.

I love Mod Podge. I revamped a bookcase for my daughter using it. To get to the post, there is a tiny pic above my header of a bookcase. I used dictionary pages!

I smiled at your marriage ticker! So you are newly weds. That is so sweet. I love to see people in love, don't you?

Thanks Redhead! I have an old cheap chest of drawers that sticks out like a sore thumb in my bedroom and I am thinking that will be my next project.
