Working from Home in (Bangtan) Style!

 Due to COVID-19, I've been working from home since March 2020. I didn't really have a designated office at home. I did have a desk (see previous post about painting it!) but its small. I wanted to make a happy work space that I enjoyed being in. And of course... it had to be BTS-themed. 😂😁 


Here it is! I bought a printer riser and another wooden stand off Amazon. Almost all of the BTS decorations are from Wish. Have you ever used Wish? Everything is super cheap but takes a couple weeks to arrive. During the height of the corona virus, some items took 3 months to get here. 
The white board is from Walmart and I added the boarder using some wrapping paper. The magnets were originally stickers that I put on sticky magnet sheets and cut out. 
The water bottle was $1 at Walmart. I decorated it with stickers from RedBubble and then coated in many layers of dishwasher-proof Mod Podge. 

The coaster was a free wood sample from Home Depot. I printed a photo, glued it on, and applied dishwasher-proof Mod Podge. I also bought a cheap mug and applied the same technique to make a pen holder. 


There is also a mousepad that I had custom made by CVS and a popup calendar from Amazon. 
It took me a couple months to complete this project mostly because I had to wait on shipping times. Overall, I'm extremely happy with how it turned out. It's my little happy corner!

Pins Galore

Image
 During these quarantine months, my sister and I have rediscovered shrinky dinks. Remember those? When I was a kid, I had the shrinky dink oven.  It was so fun to use the little spatula to push the shrinkies into the light bulb heated oven and watch them shrink through the glass.  Eventually, the light bulb burned out. I have a feeling the shrinky dink oven sat in our garage for a few years before being tossed.  BUT You can still buy shrinking plastic at craft stores and shrink it in your normal kitchen oven.  So we have been making tons of shrinkies (mostly BTS-themed) and gluing pins and magnets to the back. We then coated them in resin for shine.  We made a whole BTS care package to mail to our sister in Canada.  I have quite the collection of pins at my office. Can you tell which ones I made and which I purchased?

Bridal Shower Decorations

Image
My dear sister is getting married in less than 5 weeks! This Saturday is the Bridal Shower. Here are two projects I've been working on for the shower.  This is a frame the guests can take photos with at the shower. I bought a large poster board at Hobby Lobby and cut out the square in the middle. I used water color to paint the flowers on the top and fine tipped sharpies for the lettering. I think I will put another layer of paint over the flowers to make them darker so they show up better in photos. This picture collage is for a "Guess How Old the Bride Was" game. I purchased a cork board and a large piece of white paper, which I used as a background. The flowers are satin and I used hot glue to attach them to the frame. Hopefully everyone will have a good time at the shower! If its not too crazy, I will post more photos from the party!
