Creating Mosaics the Easy Way

 

Mosaic crafts are fun and creative.  You can create mosaic on all types of home projects, for example, tables, stepping stones, floors, walls, etc. 

Whatever the project, they are all created in basically the same manner.  But not Suzy at Suzys Sitcom website.  In the post I am featuring, she has created a mosaic on a lazy susan in a very unconventional manner.  The lazy susan is pictured above.  Suzy is so creatively amazing!

DIY Tshirt Quilt

 

What a great way to preserve memories.  

Since my husband passed away, I have been going through his clothes and had already put tshirts aside that I wanted to do something with.  This is perfect and actually what I had in mind.  I have found that when you lose someone close, you want to have little things that bring special memories.

Also,  I have saved old concert tshirts from back in the day that would be awesome to have a quilt of concert memories.

DIY Galaxy Soap

I'm totally mesmerized by the simmer in these handmade soaps, even though I'm not sure about using charcoal to make the soap black.  For sure I will try the commercial grade mica and mineral powders to get the simmery effect.

Love the blog Beauty Crafter, DIY Health and Beauty.  I've really gotten into making DIY soap and have a strong interest in making other health and beauty items.  Can't wait to spend lots of time exploring the blog for unusual items like this soap.
