Yesterday I saw the coolest ring online.....here... and I knew I could make something similar.  Not dipped in silver or anything like that, much cheaper... and easier.




You just need a few things...

• a small piece of lace, enough to wrap around your finger with a little overlap
• Mod Podge (or fabric stiffener would probably work here as well)
• spray paint
• scissors
• brush
• piece of paper (wax paper would be great)

Start with the lace.  I got mine from an old, ripped table runner... at least I think that's what it is...


I used the edge for my ring, and I used three sections.  I love the little sunflowers!  Once you've got your section cut out, and it's big enough for your finger of choice plus a little overlap, lay it out on a piece of paper and brush some Mod Podge on.






I suggest moving the lace around a few times, just to make sure it doesn't stick to the paper.  Wax paper might actually be better to use, I just didn't have any... and I just thought of it.... hmmm...
After about 20 minutes (I think), the glue will be tacky.  That's when you want to shape the lace into a ring shape.  Press the ends together and leave it to dry completely. I left mine to dry overnight.  A few hours should do the trick. (Sorry, I forgot to take a picture...)


Once it's dry, take it outside and give it a few shots of silver spray paint, let it dry, and you're done.

Hoping all you mommies out there are having a nice day, whether you're at work, at home, on the road, somewhere else... where ever you are.  Mommyhood is a crazy ride, and I love every second of it.

So what did you do for your mommy today?  I made this:


OK, I didn't make everything...  I wish I made the Willow Tree figure, I love those things.



 Mom loves baths, so a bath-y thing was a must.  I went local for it, and got some bath oil fizz from Mountain Country Soap.

Then I made some Lavender Sugar Scrub.  I got the 'recipe' from Less-Than-Perfect Life of Bliss.  It was super easy- I used lavender-scented soap.  Cut a tag out of scrapbook paper, tie it on with some raffia (left over from my candle holders), a little hot glue and some more scrapbook paper, and voila, homemade sugar scrub. 

Hope you have a great Mother's Day! ♥
