Mom Podge the Mother of Gesso and Modeling Paste

This project is meant to be a tutorial for making your own art supplies at a minimal cost. And so we begin by making Mom Podge (I'm coining that phrase, as I've never seen it before). Mom Podge is very versatile and is generally used as a media for decoupage, and/or gluing a paper product to some other product, such as glass, porcelain, baskets, metal, etc.

DIY Office/Workspace Revamp

As an artist, a musician, and a very busy housewife; I have to admit, I am sometimes not very organized. My desk had become a catch all - everything from bills to band and art supplies. It was such a cluttered area of my home that it was beginning to creep out further and further into the room. One day when we were expecting company my husband looked at this mess and said "Really?" I nodded and agreed - it was time for a change.

How to Make a DIY Headboard and Bed Frame

A few weeks ago, I had an idea to change up our bedroom once again. I was getting a new mattress from Lucid and I wanted a new bed to put it on. We didn’t have a new bed in the budget so I started thinking about how I could make a DIY headboard and bed frame. With excitement, I headed over to one of my favorite places to shop – my storage shed (nothing better than shopping your own space when you are on a tight budget). I was thinking about using some old doors as the DIY headboard and knew that I had some in storage, but couldn’t remember exactly what I had.

The Easiest Rust Remover

I’m a really big fan of rescuing objects, because I don’t believe in throwing things away that still have use in them. Sometimes though you get something and think, “that’s the end of this”, like this rusty pan. But then I found this great tip to remove rust from metal using coke and tinfoil.

Would this work with paint? What I mean is, if you paint the wall one color and then use another color paint with this roller?

What was the process to use the artsy leaf roller and have it turn out like the tan/ cream leafy picture on your website? It states that you used multiple textures. Thank you!

Just one. Shipping cost seems way out of line for the size and weight of the roller.

  If the shipping comes in lower - we adjust before charging our customers - but most boxes are over 1 pound and run $12 to $13 for postage alone, we still need to cover the box, tape, label, etc. - you can see about ordering through my account on Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=artistic+painting+studio" target="_blank">https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=s...

With certain designs on the rollers, do you ever have to line up your design with the previous row so they match up?

  Sharon - sorry for my delay, just saw your message. Some of the designs have to be lined up to match, but most do not......I don't even try! :)
