Crafting With Acoustical Ceiling Tiles

July 22, 2012 by Cyndee 1 Comment

A friend redid her ceilings and gave me the scrap acoustical tiles from the new install.

I wasn’t exactly sure what I would do with them, but possibilities started to form in my head. Googling acoustical ceiling tile crafts didn’t exactly give me a multitude of ideas. Actually, it gave me none. I was on my own. No problem. Thinking outside of the box is kinda my thing. 😉

The tiles were really easy to cut with a craft knife, but I went for the really, really, really easy cut and used a jig saw.

These Halloween “BOO” Tiles were made with fabric and heavyduty fusible web. Yes, I ironed them! Worked like a charm!

You can find my tutorial here.

I cut this tile a little bigger and decoupaged book pages onto it. With the addition of a little paint to stain the pages, and a pearl paint finish, I thought it had a Parisian look. The sequins added the quirky bling I just had to have.

You can find the tutorial here.

Restyled Drawer Home Accent-Tutorial

July 7, 2012 by Cyndee Leave a Comment

My living room has turned into my craft room. Actually, my family thinks it always has been, but that’s beside the point. 😉

Restyled Drawer

Transform an orphaned drawer into a pretty box for decorating, organization, or both.

This old drawer came from The House. It was pretty yucky, but it just goes to show what a little restyling can do.

Silverware and Teacup Candle Holder

July 7, 2012 by Cyndee 2 Comments

The next few posts will show off what I have accomplished the last couple of weeks. Lots and lots of crafting with junk.

Do you have old silverware and teacups you just had to have? Are you the dumping ground for all the family “heirlooms”? What’s a DIYer to do with these little gems?

Make a Silverware and Teacup Candle Holder!

I used forks for this project, but I’m thinking spoons would also work.

Enjoy!

Tobacco Can Uncle Sam

June 30, 2012 by Cyndee Leave a Comment

Last-minute 4th of July project. Great way to recycle those sturdy tobacco cans. Once finished you can’t even tell that’s what it’s made of.

You can find my tutorial here.

Shotgun Shell Firecrackers

June 21, 2012 by Cyndee 2 Comments

Because of feeling icky this week AND my desire to find projects that can easily be completed while sitting, I decided to make shotgun shell firecrackers, a craft for the Fourth of July.

Why are they called shotgun shell firecrackers? Because they are made from the empty shells that my redneck son and his friends gifted me with after target practice, hunting…whatever it is they do…

I used two different shell sizes for these firecrackers–12 and 20 gauge. They each have slightly different diameters and heights. I’m not sure of other shells, but the instructions I’ll give for these can be adjusted for other sizes.

Since I was going to make a lot of them at one time, I cut out and prepared all my pieces so that I could assemble without stopping and hunting down more supplies.

First, I filled all the shells with stuffing. The only purpose the stuffing is used for is to fill up the shell and create a stage at the top to set the “fuse” on. You don’t have to use Polyfil. Yarn, shredded paper or some other scrap something or other can be used. It won’t show.

I cut out 3-inch squares of fabric to wrap around the shells. I applied glue to the plastic tube of the shell, starting just above the metal on the base. I then wrapped a fabric square around the tube. You will have a bit of fabric extending from the top. You want it to do that.

I ripped 1-inch wide strips of blue fabric to tie around the shells.

The ends were trimmed and I glued a 1-inch star over the knot.

The fabric extending from the top of the shells was cut down so that approximately a 1/2-inch was extending.

The fuses are 1-inch long pieces of rusty baling wire. I applied a dot of glue to the top of the stuffing and placed one end of a fuse in the glue.

Using crochet thread and an embroidery needle, I sewed a running stitch around the top of the fabric and gathered the tube closed around the fuse.

As an added touch, I inserted this little flag pic under the tie around one of the firecrackers. I kinda like it, but I haven’t decided if I’m going to put the flags in all of them or just some. What do you think? Does it make them look too busy?

These ornies look cute as a bunch in a bowl, or they can stand on their own. You could also add a hanger if you wanted to display them from a hook or a Christmas in July tree display.
