See It Again Saturday: Custom Tile/Vinyl Checker Board

 Incase you missed the field trip to A Little Tipsy here it is again!

Father's Day
Custom Checkers Board 
 I wanted to come up with a personalized gift for my Dad for Father's Day this year. Promptly upon my moving out they remodeled the basement into a Bar for get togethers and parties. They call it Bowd's Bar (Last name Bowden) and they love it! I had been thinking about using tile and vinyl to make a checkers board for a while and though, "This is the perfect opportunity!"

What you need:
16x16 Piece of Tile
15x15 Vinyl Checkerboard Pattern
24 Wooden Circles
Scrapbook Paper
Mod Podge & Foam Brush
Circle Punch
Felt & Hot Glue

Step One:
Adhere your vinyl to the tile. Luckily tile is a forgiving surface so when I laid it crooked the first time I was able to carefully peel it back up and try again! Whew! I get my vinyl from Marni at{Choose the Writing}!

Step Two:
Measure, cut and hot glue felt to the bottom of the tile. Do a little bit at a time since the glue drys fast.

Step Three:
I printed words onto scrapbook paper to customize, but plain scrapbook paper would work great too!
Step Four:

Grab your circle punch and start punching!

Step Five:
Mod Podge your circles of scrapbook paper to the wooden circles one side at a time. When I finished all 24 circles the first one was dry and ready for me to start again on the other side.

Step Six:
When I was done the 2nd side the 1st side was dry and I could apply more Mod Podge to the top to seal...and so on.

Step Seven:
Allow to dry completely! I used a crown graphic from {The Graphics Fairy} on one side for the "King Me!"

Now you're ready to Play!

See It Again Saturday

Incase you missed my post on One Crafty Mommy last week here it is again!

"Cheeky" Caution Sign

One thing you may not know is that I AM CANADIAN (sorry I felt the need for caps!) I was born on Vancouver Island but from 4th through 11th grade lived in the way frozen north in a little town called Fort St. John. The inspiration for this project wasn't something I'd see everyday but they were definitely around! This idea came to me completely out of the blue one morning and I could not wait to try it!

The Memory/Random Thought:

My Inspiration: My Cheeky Little Boy!

The Super Cute Result:

Hee hee hee! I just can't wait to show this to his future girlfriends! Bwahahahah! You could also add a hook and make this a {Too Cute Towel Hanger}! Making this was pretty simple, $1.00 square wood frame from Michaels, Yellow Paint and Vinyl thanks to {Marni at Choose The Writing}! I printed the picture at home so the whole project cost $4.00 (and a few cents worth of paint!)

See it Again Saturday - Monogram Bow Holder

Incase you missed last weeks Field Trip Friday here is the tutorial!

Monogram Bow Holder
Isn't it cute! It's a gift along with all the bows for my bestie's daughter Baby K! (nickname of course!)

How to Make It:
First get your vinyl monogram letter from {Choose the Writing}!

Then I just used scrapbook paper and Mod Podge on a $1.00 Michaels wood frame. (Not sure how to do this? Check out my detailed {Too Cute Towel Hanger} tutorial.)

Once the frame was done I snagged some glass from an old 4x6 frame, applied my vinyl letter and used hot glue in the corners to secure glass to the frame.

For the ribbon, select two coordinating colors of different widths and hot glue to the back of your frame! It's that simple!

Attach the bows to the top ribbon!


Happy crafting! Be sure to send me pictures if you make one!
