Train Station Wood Hanging Sign 3.99

Train Station Sign

I started off with some long, skinny pieces of wood I had saved

from a previous project.

First, I drilled two holes at each end.

Then I used my laser and designed

the wording.

After burning the lettering in,

I took a gold tone, paint marker and

highlighted each letter.

This is just to give a dimensional effect.

And also used some twine to make the

hanger.

Lastly, I brushed some black on the edges

to give it a more rustic looking effect.

I've made a few and these will be

in my Booth #555

(B-LC555)

in the Morehead, KY Peddlers Mall

for $3.99 each.

Mason Jar Earrings and Dollhouse Mini Mason Jars

Mason Jar Earrings 

and

Mini Wooden Dollhouse Mason Jars

Hey ya’ll!

I usually don’t do these type of posts, but here are some miniature, dollhouse mason jars I’ve recently been tinkering with.

I have also made them into cute Mini Mason Jar Earrings too in my Etsy shop!

When I ran across a listing on ebay for these plain, unfinished, adorable little wooden mason jars, 

I knew I wanted them.  

I just didn’t know what for at that moment.

Well, today, about a year later, I got them out and thought it’d be cute to make some tiny little dollhouse type food for the cupboards. 

And then also made a few Mini Mason Jar earrings too.

I know that dollhouse miniatures are a very popular thing, I just haven’t really ever gotten into them.  

But give me tiny mason jars and I’m there!

So here was my idea.

I just went into Word and Paint on my pc and tinkered around and made some tiny little word labels.

I couldn’t get them to print out small enough, so I eventually had to copy them on my printer/scanner/fax and then resize them.  

I think I tried a 75% first and then eventually had to go down to a 49% to get a good fit.

 I gathered up some supplies:

-Mod Podge

-Scissors

-A Paintbrush

And then I just cut each one out. They were tiny! And I use some Mod Podge to glue them on and an extra coat to seal the outside.

 

And then just let them sit and dry. And wa~la!

Here they are.

 

If you look pretty dang close, you can see I tried to make some green beans, carrots and tomatoes in the right hand corner.  

To kind of give them a different look to make a set of 4. 

The fourth one, I just left plain to say Ball.

I am not sure my usual, craft peeps will be interested in these, but hey, maybe take this label idea and use it on larger items?

I  listed these in my Etsy as earrings.  

And here is a few pics of that:

Happy Crafting ya’ll!
See ya next time,

DIY Home Made MOO SHINE MOON SHINE

Are ya'll ready to make some home made Moo Shine?
(Moon Shine lol)


I did. Here is how mine turned out.

These are great items to sell at craft booths/fairs.  They make for cute country gifts at Christmas. Or as a souvenir.

It was hard to photograph water in jar without it being blurry for me.

They also make adorable party favors to take home, especially for country themed weddings!

Here's how I made it.

All you need is a 

-Mason jar with a lid, (I prefer the old metal ones.)

-E-6000 Glue

-Water (from a bottle.)

-Play set with tiny, plastic cows. 

I got the one pictured above from our local Tractor Supply for only $4.99.

Not many cows in it, but I'm going to dab on some black/white spots to a few to make them look like cows.

Just take some E-6000 glue and glue the little cows to the bottom of your empty Mason Jar.

Let them dry overnight.

I used a wire to lower him down. A wire flimsy enough though to remove easily after it dried.

And then just add some bottled water.  I think using bottled water may help from getting that stink smell after it sits for a while. Guess that's the difference. Not positive but I think that's the reason to use bottled water for crafts like this.

And bam, here is your Mason jar full of MOO SHINE!

I used cold, bottled water. I wish I'd used room temperature water so I wouldn't have had the chill in the first finished picture above.

These are great items to sell at craft booths/fairs.  They make for cute country gifts at Christmas. Or as a souvenir. They also make adorable party favors to take home, especially for country themed weddings!

Speaking of "moo stuff." Yesterday was bittersweet. I said goodbye to a few of my farmland friends named, Small, Medium and Large. But I know they've really moved on to greener pastures for sure, as ours were drying up.
