  • Camouflaging Coffee Cans - Pretty up a boring coffee can, make a decorative change bank, or make something fun for the kids to store small cars, toys, and tiny board books in. It's easy! These step by step instructions will have you camouflaging those coffee cans in no time!
  • Heart Candle Holder - This easy to make adorable country heart jar is perfect for Valentine's Day, but is also general enough to work at any time of the year! A charming country accent perfect for the bathroom or kitchen.
  • Homework Before Play Sign - This cute door plaque doubles as a "quiet zone" sign and a "gone playing" sign. This is a great way to let your child's friends know that they are not yet finished with their homework and to come back later. It also lets kids know whether their friends are home or not.
  • Painting On Wood - The popularity of tole and decorative painting has exploded in recent years. The following are a few tips and/or tricks I have learned or stumbled upon since I began painting to make the job go faster, better or easier.
  • Primitive Lamb - This primitive lamb was originally painted on an old milk bottle by artist, Cindy Trombley. We had an overabundance of 8x10 picture frames and decided to create this great country print to hang on the wall.
  • Salt Dough Dog Bone Magnet - Make this cute dog bone manget to hang on your fridge. Use it to display a photo, hang reminders about the vet and the dog groomer, or anything else you can think of. A great way to recognize the canine member of your family.
  • Snow Place Like Home - This adorable snowman can be painted onto any surface that you like. While we chose a glass jar as our medium, he would also look great on a wood plaque, papier mache box, or any other surface you can think of! This craft was designed for those with some experience in tole painting.
  • Sunflower Jar - What says summer more than fresh sunflowers? Bring that feeling into your home with this lovely painted design, easy!
  • Watermelon Picnic Caddy - Picnics, summertime, and watermelons, they go together well! Dress up your summertime picnic table with this darling watermelon caddy. Use it to hold napkins and utensils, or simply display its cuteness for all to see.
  • Welcome to Our Patch - Scarecrows are synonymous with Autumn. This little guy is so adorable you just can't resist him! Paint several to give away as gifts, or make one just for yourself to keep in the kitchen.
