Free Summer Subway Art

So...I know I just posted 4th of July subway art but I was thinking that after the 4th of July you might want another subway art to go along with the summer season. That's when I came across this adorable subway art from Michelle, of Craft Carnival, and had to share it with you too! It's so cute and will be perfect after the 4th of July holiday, to still display subway art that is not out of holiday and still in season.

How to Make a Jewelry Board

A few months ago, I attended Craft Carnival's craft night. I made the cutest jewelry board, which I am entering in a drawing for currently. If you have it in your heart to vote for me, click here for all details! Anyway, this jewelry board is so cute and easy to make, I thought I'd share it with you!

You'll need:

•  9x11 Wood Block, about 1 inch thick (you can find these at Roberts or your local craft store)
• Craft paint (1 color) & sponge brush
• Scrapbook paper
• Glue stick, scissors, and drill
• Smalls hooks

Directions:

1. First lay foil or newspapers underneath your wood block and then begin painting. Although it is not necessary to paint the top because the paper will cover it, the choice it yours. Allow the paint to dry before covering. 

 

2. Meanwhile, cut the scrapbook paper of your choice to cover the front of the wood block. Once you are done cutting and the block is dried, glue it to the front of your wooden block.

3. Now, drill small holes in the desired region of the board. The location typically depends on the type of jewelry you wish to hang (necklaces, bracelets, or a combination of both).

4. After the holes have been drilled, screw your hooks in and you are done! You can either hang yours on the wall or support it with a easel like mine below!

See how easy crafting can be! If you already have the basic craft supplies on hand this craft is pretty inexpensive too!

Craft Store Coupons

Depending upon where you live, your craft stores may vary. However, in the great state of Utah we have so many to choose from! My all time favorite is Roberts. They have a huge variety of Cricut products and scrap-booking pages and materials. At the same time, I also like Michaels and recently bought some things from Hobby Lobby. The great thing is all of these places offer a 25-40% off coupon each week! They are included on their weekly offer which may or may not come in the mail. I found it easiest to just subscribe to their mailing list so they send me a weekly update of items on special sales as well as their 40% off weekly offer. If you click on any one of the links you will be directed to the webpage and either at the top or bottom is a place for you to enter your email address to subscribe to their mailing list.

Also, a few weeks ago Roberts started doing double coupons on Tuesdays. You can use 2-40% off coupons for the items of your choice, awesome right? They also have a new rewards program. It's free to join and anything you buy goes towards earning a gift card to the store! Click on the links below to print out coupon of your choice, valid through February 5th.
