Learn How To Create A Grungy Heart Notebook For Valentines


Imagine's avatarImagine Blog

by Lori Warren

This project is all about making something out of nothing.  At least, nothing as in a piece of corrugated cardboard from a discarded box and lined paper from an old notebook.  These reuse items, paired with a few Imagine Fireworks sprays, create a beautiful notebook that would be a great gift for friends or family.  In the tip video, I will show you how to use Fireworks sprays with a liquid varnish to create a permanent finish.  This is a helpful tip especially if you are into Mixed Media.

I hope you enjoy this quite in-depth video tutorial. I hope it inspires you to grab your supplies and play too!

Kelli @ CraftShackChronicles's avatarwalnuthollowcrafts

January is always a big time for me to get organized.  I don’t think I’m alone in this! After all of the holiday decor comes down, I tend to realize what a cluttered mess things have gotten.  So every year, about this time, I get that urge to organize! I think walls are often overlooked as spaces to get organized.  But sometimes vertical space is the best space for things! When you don’t have enough cupboard space (and really, who does?!) these Walnut Hollow Display Racks come in handy!  I’m excited to share with you 7 of the ways I’ve found to use them!
