Jewelry Organizer with Styled by Tori

1 · Oct 24, 2012 · 1 Comment

I’m one of those girls who just can’t leave well enough alone when something could us a little dressing up. That’s why I am soooo in love with the entire line of Styled by Tori products!! They make it so easy to dress-up yourself or dress-up a fun project that you are working on.

I decided that I needed to “dress-up” a fun jewelry organizer for all of my Styled by Tori goodies. I picked a couple of pieces that I thought would look great with a plain jane hanger that I found at Pick your Plum.

I grabbed my trusty E-6000 and glued the two pieces together. I let them cure overnight just to make sure the bond was secure. Then I used the E-6000 to glue the newly created cluster directly to the plain jane hanger…

How simple is that. Now I have the perfect place to display my Styled by Tori creations that I use to “dress-up” ME!!

I simply adore every single collection in the Styled by Tori family. Each one has it’s own look and feel and are so fun to work with. You can find the Styled by Tori line at Michaels (by the way, October is jewelry month at Michaels some great deals out there) and Jo-Ann's.

Let me know what you would like to make with some Styled by Tori goodies! Do you like to “dress-up” yourself or “dress-up” fun projects?

Here are a couple of other projects that I’ve used Styled by Tori to add a little icing to the cake…

Polka Dot Jars

Polka Dot Jars // If you have followed WhipperBerry for any time at all, you know I love my jars. I love to bake with jars, decorate with jars, organize with jars… you name it, I ADORE jars. This week I found another fun, yet simple way to dress up my jars with DecoArt Glass Paint …

Isn’t this a fun way to dress up your jars for an event? It couldn’t be simpler with DecoArts Glass Paint 3D Frost Gloss Enamels…

DecoArt sent me a bunch of their glass paint to take for a spin. I was madly getting ready for my last minute trip to Hawaii, so I didn’t have a ton of time to create a painted masterpiece. I did however have just enough time to dress up a jar and then I had a thought… This would be so fun for a birthday party or shower, basically any type of event where you would like to add a little playful fun element to the party. The nice part it hardly takes any time at all to create these fun polka dot jars.

Supply List

Ball quilted 8 oz. jelly jars
DecoArt 3D Frost Gloss Enamels {you can find this at Michaels over with the glass vases and stuff. Isn’t that cool… the glass paint has it’s very own section!!}
Mason daisy drinking lids
Stripped straws

Instructions

Make sure your jars are clean inside and out. Wipe down the outside of the jar with alcohol to prepare it for the paint.
Select your 3D Frosted Gloss Enamel color and using the handy tip just start placing dots at the tip of every diamond on the quilted glass jar.
Let dry completely, this takes a few hours or best over night.
Fill with your party beverage, screw on the lid and top it off with the fancy straw.
Line up your jars on a table or tray and your guests will be amazed!!

How easy is that!! Seriously, you could get a whole parties worth of jars painted in no time at all. Give it a go and let me know what you think!

Sail Cloth Shower Curtains | Guest Post

3 · Jul 3, 2012 · 3 Comments

Soooo when I was at Haven I met the sweetest lady that I just fell in love with and her name is Kari and she has the most beautiful blog called Thistlewood Farm. She is one of those sweet southern belle ladies with a personality the size of Georgia and I ADORE her!! When I had a chance to check out her amazing blog after we met I was blown away with her work and HAD to share her talents with you today as she teaches us how to make sail cloth shower curtains. So, take it away Kari…

Hello Whipperberry readers. I'm Kari from Thistlewood Farm and I am so excited to be here with you today, sharing my numbered sailcloth shower curtain project.

Sailcloth Shower Curtain Tutorial

Supplies:

Red Cotton fabric from Wal-mart (the thicker the better)

Scissors

White Shower Curtain

Sharpie

Pins

Step 1:

Print out extremely large numbers on your computer in Ariel Bold.

These were printed at 700 x.

Cut out numbers and photograph them on grapevine.

Because printed numbers photographed on the table just aren't the same.

And because you have been pinning photo props on pinterest in your quest to be a highly sought after grapevine numbers photographer.

Step 2:

Take your 700x Bold Ariel Font numbers and trace them with a sharpie.

Backwards.

Because when you traced them frontwards….the sharpie showed.

And even though you tried to fray the sharpie off the edges.

You still knew it was there.

And the little bits of sharpie that still showed even after you tried to fray the edges took on the proportions of the Empire State Building lit up red white and blue for the fourth of July.

Trust me.

Backwards is so much more sharpieless.
