Easy to make Coasters

I made these coasters after seeing the directions for them on The Graphic Fairy's blog.  They were so easy to make and so different than anything I've seen in any stores.

I found the tiles at Lowe's for 34 cents each.  I bought adhesive backed cork for the bottoms and the Omni-Gel at Michaels.  I applied the Omni-Gel with a 1" foam brush (also from Michaels).  I printed the birdcage graphic from her site and just used my regular printer.  (My printer is not an inkjet, apparently inkjet printers do not work for this project.)  I sprayed them with clear enamel when I was done so wet glasses don't stick to them.  

She has thousands of graphics that are available on her website. 

Here's the link to the directions.

Birdhouse Terrarium

My husband built this birdhouse/terrarium for me for Christmas.  I had seen them in some catalogs and at a florist here in town and admired them.  Because I love birdhouses and plants, it was a perfect gift! He made it out of cedar, used a walnut stain, then a black stain over that.  He put copper in the bottom of it to catch any drips.  I have been keeping the lid open and the plants are doing pretty well.
