Day 94

I have no idea why I didn't come up with this craft idea sooner.  I saw a similar craft online today, and revised it to tiles I already had done.  For our wedding, we had planned on making coaster sets with movie monster posters as give away gifts, raffle item type thing...it was going to be so much fun...but anyway, I had made a couple sets to see how they would go, and now that the wedding has been upended, well I had them laying around and wasn't too sure what to do with them.  Then today I saw ceramic tile bookends online and I thought "DUHHHHHH"!!!!!  I have so many books lying around, so of course a set of bookends would be perfect! 

All I needed was four of the movie poster tiles I had already done, four plain tiles and the hot glue gun.  I hot glued one movie poster tile to one blank one, so I then had four sets of sandwiched tiles.  I then took one set and hot glued it to the edge of the other.  I didn't even have to wait for it to dry, it dried on contact!!!  Which is why they are a bit crooked, I didn't have time to correct it.  But overall, they are F A N T A S T I C!!!! 

I am totally in love, I want to sell them to the masses, because they just are so fun and awesome!

Here they are done and doing what they were made to do:

Here they are before I glued everything:

Day 36

I had a mini nervous breakdown this weekend when I realized the wedding is only 194 days away!  There is so much to get done and I need to get a move on with all the DIY projects.

So because of that, today's craft is a wedding craft, and as you might remember from other wedding craft posts, I can't show it and ruin the surprise!  And I must say, this one I'm really super excited about!!  So once again, I have to say, I hope everyone comes to see what it is!!!  YAY!

Here are the sneak peeks:

Day 20

Because this is a wedding craft, I can't go into details.  Here is a really horrible picture to keep you guessing!  This is sort of a cheat because I have to make several of these, and it's going to take some time, but this is one of many.  You will have to come to the wedding to see what it is!!!  ;-)
