Decoupage: success!

I was able to squeeze in some project time last night in the middle of cooking, cleaning and the other wifey things. So I just did 2 quick 'trial' projects. I got the idea to cover the switch plates for several other blogs I've visited so I can't take the 'creative' credit there but here is the switch plate I covered for our bedroom.

I'm happy with it! Its just scrap book paper mod podged on the plate. It matches our room and it will match another project I'll be working on soon. It's still a secret but I'm sooo excited about it! While at Hobby Lobby I came across an unfinished wooden trash can. It was only $5 and even in its unfinished state is way cuter then the current walmart-bag-hanging-from-the-desk-knob trash can that is in our office. So I grabbed it! Also used scrapbook paper on this project as well and some left over spray paint. I was a little rushed doing this one - trying to get done before my oven timer went off for my chicken pot pie. So I made some mistakes BUT they are good mistakes to learn from.... wait for the base coat of mod podge to dry before putting on a second, otherwise it bubbles. I just put the side towards the wall :) Problem solved and it still didn't turn out to bad.

Dinner with the in-laws tonight so no crafting, experimenting or project time tonight.

Happy Hump Day!
