As most of you know, I have a two-month-old little girl.  And do you know what one of my biggest dilemmas was in preparing for her? Nope-it doesn’t have to do with feeding schedules, what to pack for the hospital, or choosing a name-it’s figuring out what to do with all those adorable hair bows I’ve been collecting for her!

This simple bow holder is adorable and versatile…and so easy to make! Let’s get started!

Materials:
Mod Podge
wooden or paper mache letter (I got mine from Hobby Lobby)
foam brush
scrapbook paper
ribbon

Step 1: Gather your supplies, and begin by tearing your scrapbook paper into pieces.

Step 2: It’s time to pull out the Mod Podge and attach your paper to your letter. There are many ways to do this, but I work in small sections, adding some Mod Podge to the letter and attaching the paper. It took me about 10 minutes to cover the whole letter. I worked on the front first, then tackled the sides of the letter.

Here’s the letter with just the top covered in paper….

After working on the sides of the letter, folding down and Mod Podging the paper, your letter will look something like this:

Step 3: Once dry, add a layer or two of Mod Podge to seal your letter.

Step 4: Take a piece of wide ribbon, fold it over your letter, and attach with a bit of hot glue.

And you’re done!

Hello, readers! First, a confession: I am most definitely a candle person. When I saw the above candle at Target the other day, I just adored the fresh, Spring-y scent, but knew the pink color scheme would not match my living room decor (does this kind of thing bother anyone else)? I bought it anyway, and a few coats of Mod Podge later, I had an adorable candle that smelled great and matched my decor.

Step 1: Cut a strip of scrapbook paper to fit around your candle. Wrapping paper would also work great for this! Apply a coat of Mod Podge to your candle, and wrap the paper around the candle, smoothing out any air bubbles as you go.

Step 2: Next, seal the paper with 2 or more coats of Mod Podge.

Step 3: To add some interest to the plain tin lid, take painters tape and tape off stripes on the top of the lid.

Step 4: Apply a coat of Mod Podge to the lid, add some glitter, and shake off the excess. Easy peasy.
