Mod Podge Photo Transfer with Cathie & Steve!

This adorable Rodeo Onesie, was created by Cathie Filian and Steve Piacenza!  They used the Rodeo Cowboy Graphic along with some Mod Podge Photo Transfer Medium, to create this adorable little Baby garment!

Yo-Yo Valentine

Hi there everyone, it's Andrea from The Cottage Market. I am so happy

to be doing a craft project along with a home DIY each month here at the

 Graphics Fairy.  Today's project is easy beyond belief and is a

perfect little token that kids of all ages will love.  It's a

Yo-Yo Valentine!

For this project you will need:

a yo-yo...you can find these plain wooden yo yo's at Tarjay in their $1 section...they come in different colors so you don't even have to bring out the paint!

Print the images of your choice...that's the hardest part...there is such a variety here it will take a while to make your decision.

Then you need a brush,  some Mod Podge and of course a scissors to cut the image. That's it!

Brush the Mod Podge on the entire circle top...

then if you are working with a square, place it right on top of the yo-yo...

allow it to dry.  If using a cut out...brush the Mod Podge on the back of the

image...wait a minute and then apply to the yo-you.

Now when the glue dries on the square one (approximately 5 minutes) Take a

sanding block or piece of sand paper and remove the excess paper...this works

great...smooth and perfect!  REPEAT on the other side...add a few coats of Mod Podge

over the images and you are done!  It's that easy.  You can add a little embellishment 

if you like and then pack it up in a cute little cello bag...attach a card and give someone

a smile!

They are cute...fast and fun.  Hope you enjoy this little craft and here's wishing

everyone a Happy Valentine's Day!...(((HUGS)))

Valentine's Printables - Bottle Labels, Flags & Cupcake Toppers

Hi, my name is Nikki from papergravy.com printables. I'm guest posting here today!

I have designed a range of free Valentines Day (Beatles inspired!) printables for you to make using various images from the lovely graphics fairy website! 

I will show you how to create a wine bottle gift label which you can personalise with your own hand written message, and a range of buffet flags and  2" circles - which are great as cupcake toppers or party favours. They are perfect for last minute gifts and decorations for almost any occasion, which you can make at home very easily and cheaply.

SUPPLIES:

color printer

scissors

double sided tape (or glue), 

lolly pop stick /straws/ cocktail sticks

2" circle craft punch (not essential)

To make the Buffet flags;

(Designed using the heart from the 'Swallowsnest' image)

Print off the buffet flag page onto letter size or A4 size paper. Fold flags in half along the dotted line.

Cut out each flag carefully with scissors.

Place straw or cocktail pick/lolly pop stick inside the fold of the flag.

 

then stick both sides together using double sided tape.

Your flags are now ready to decorate your valentine's buffet!

Bottle Gift Label;

(I used the anchor frame, french pink frame & swallow to create this wine bottle gift label)

Print off and cut out the label, carefully cut out the inner circle to the required size.

 

Fold each section of the label (you can also cut off the small section of the tag and use as a gift tag)

 

Pop over your chosen bottle, fill out your own personal message on the tag at the back.

Cupcake Toppers

(I chose the cherub image, cupid silhouette, hand pen graphic, angel cherub to create these toppers) 

 

 

Click HERE for the full size Printable PDF

Cut out each topper using either a 2" circle craft punch, or using scissors.

 

Secure to a lolly pop stick/straw using a small amount of sticky tape.

Use as cupcake toppers, party favour decorations or anything else you can think of!...

I made my own co-ordinating bunting by cutting out triangles of patterned paper, attached together with ribbon. Finally, decorate with your circles!

 

create your own bottle decorations using ribbon tied around the bottle neck and held in place with a circular topper!

 

 

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial.
