Beautifying My Little World

So, I've been taking moments from my days to make something in my life a little more beautiful. And currently I'm obsessed with modge podge. So in order to be able to put these on Pinterest and to show you how I'm beautifying my life here they are!

I did this one for my parents for their 25th anniversary because we really needed one instead of the cupboard.

Martinelli's bottle (from the anniversary celebrations) plus 2 coats of gold spray paint (left over from my brother's wedding open house), and 2 dried roses from the only bouquets I've ever gotten.

A mini Martinelli's bottle, with paper modge podged onto it. A little tricky, but worth it! Now I need more dried roses to put in it!

An old frame I had laying around and decided to modge podge. I need a picture to put in it now.

All the paper is from a book I found at the dollar store. It was just one that had the coolest feeling and looking paper, and it happened to be an autobiography about a biographer, so there were tons of letters in the book in different fonts, which ended up really cool. So on all of these I only spent $1.03 for the book. The modge podge was just left over from one of my mom's projects, I already had both frames, the bottles and the spray paint. Probably more to come as I continue to attempt to beautify my life...Okay me and modge podge obsession will definitely be coming up with more to cover, so expect some more!
