Cute DIY project


Each holiday season I like to make a little something for my friends and family. Last year I made little fabric bird ornaments. This year I didn't quite have the time to whip up 20 or so little birdies but I did find this little project.

Mod Podge make an easy to use resin which is great for various crafts. I used it to fill jewelry tins ( found at my local hobby lobby ).

I used magazine clippings and fabric scraps to find cute little designs to place in the tins.

Tracing around the tins made cutting the correct fabric piece easier.


Example of fabric in jewelry tin without resin in place.

Once the tins were filled with the resin I placed them someplace safe and out of reach from my kitties curious nose and paws. The resin was whitish but dried clear. I sprinkled some glitter in a few to add some glitz.

The resin took about 24 hours to fully set. And thats it!! I think finding designs and pictures to match my friends personalities was pretty fun and there was almost no mess.
