DIY SayItWithLOVE Dog Treat Jar #MilkBoneLOVE

February 10, 2014

I dearly LOVE my Dog, Sugar.
Finding just one word to describe Sugar is a bit difficult.
I absolutely know that her Golden Unconditional LOVE is my everyday gift.
Can you describe your dog in just 1 word?

Sugar LOVES her treats. Lately, she’s been getting lots of them and needing more containers to put them.
I decided to create a LOVE words Treat Jar for Sugar.

PAWfect for the box of Milk-Bone biscuits Sugar received recently.
I selected nine words to describe Sugar: sweet, happy, loyal, fun, joy, precious, priceless, energetic and good dog.

Supplies you will need:
Glass Jar w/ Lid
Paints: red and white
Letter Stencils
Washi Tapes

How To Create SayItWithLOVE Treat Jar?

1) From the heel of the jar, paint a 3/4 band using the red paint. Let it dry.
2) When the paint is dry, take the hearts washi tape and border the top and bottom of the painted area.
3) Take the lid of the jar and cover the base with love wash tape. Do the same thing with the handle, using hearts wash tape.
4) Gather your letter stencils. For this project, I mainly used Martha Stewarts adhesive reusable stencils. It was fantastic with no bleeding of paint. It was easy to use especially when the jar has a curved surface. These letter adhesive can be washed with a damp cloth and reused time after time.
5) Arrange the letters/words. Apply the paint with small sponge brush. Gently Peel Off the letter adhesive.

What do you think? It is an easy FUN DIY project.
A PAWsome gift and great way for you to show your LOVE to your dog.

Simple {DIY} BowTie For Your Pet

June 27, 2013

From my “Girls Wear BowTie Too” post, I was wearing a big bowtie.
Many of you guessed that is is made of Duct Tape. Yes, it is…
Duct Tape is a sturdy cloth-backed and waterproof adhesive tape.
Duct Tape has become the DIY tape for many household. Nowadays, Duct Tape comes in various patterns/designs which inspired my mom to make me a (big) Bowtie.
The tutorial below is for a regular size bowtie.

To create a Big BowTie use 4 strips from step 1.
Mom also made me a Tie, check out my Take Your Dog To Work Day post.
You can create lots of fun Ductivities with Duct Tape.

{DIY} Black n White Dog Wall Art

June 23, 2013

What’s on your wall? I bet you got photographs of your family.
How about your dog? Your dog definitely deserves a space on our wall.

In my home, Mickey Mouse and Michael Jordan have their own wall and you bet I got my own wall. Well, multiple walls as I am going to have another one in the office room. My mom loves the beauty of black n white photos. She collected several black n white photos of me from joining the Sunday Black n White hop and wanted to create a Black n White photo wall of me. One of her favorite black n white photo of me was taken last February. We shared it and titled our post “Standing Strong Like A Pillar.”

When Printcopia contacted us if we are interested to print a photo on canvas, mom immediately though of the black n white wall she was meaning to do in the office room. Printcopia can convert your color photo into black n white but there’s an additional fee. My mom just simply uploaded a black n white photo and it worked fine. This is not the first time I had my photos printed on canvas so we knew what to expect in ordering/processing. Mom always orders the canvas image to wrap around the sides of the frame. It is good especially if the photo has lots of negative space around the edges. The canvas print looks lighter than the original photos but changed once placed on the wall. We are very pleased and Lots of Golden Thanks to Printcopia for the inspiration of our Black n White Dog Art Wall.

How To Display Black n White Photos?

Find a WALL. The color of the wall is the vital element in displaying your photos. For example: your display will be bold and dramatic if you use dark color frames on a lighter wall.

1) Draw/Sketch out how you will display your photos. Mark the middle and that will serve as the midpoint of your 1st photo placement. The key is to treat the wall space as one large picture, with separate elements. Alignment is also important. Many like symmetrically display but to have a clean classy look a straight line perception of the frames is an option.

2) Gather your PHOTOS and find FRAMES. There are many ready made black or white frames you can find at the craft stores. You can also use/add a matting in your frame. Just a rule mom learned when she took a framing class: Frames are not a necessity when you are displaying your black and white photos. If you opt to skip the frames, don’t skip the matting. Matting serves as a frame for your photos. In our DIY, we just use matting.

3) Layout your sketch with the actual photos/frames on a flat surface. Long table or on the floor is a good place.

4) Hang your display on the wall. You may use a blue painters tape first. Adjust the photo placement as needed and necessary. Then once you accomplished the display you want, you can use hanging strips.
5) Admire your black n white wall art.

Golden LOVE it!
Mom said I got more black n white photos and for sure she’ll be adding more to this wall. Majority of the photos mom selected were taken when we lived in HI last year. One of the photo (upper right) was taken at my favorite Thompson Road just after Miss Oprah greeted us.

Hope you enjoyed our DIY Black N White Dog Wall Art.
We have broken the rules again of Black n White Sunday blog hop.

Lots of Golden Thanks to Printcopia for my
Standing Strong Like A Pillar Black n White Canvas Print.

Teach Me Thursday: Envelope LOVE Pillow Case

February 16, 2012

I was not kidding when I said I was pooped.
I was very pooped … I slept most of the day.

For Valentine’s Day, mom decided that I should have my own pillow (instead of using the couch pillows). She used a 24 x 16 pillow and scrap heart fabrics to make an
Envelope LOVE Pillow Case.
Mom says it is super easy to make . This method works for all sizes of pillow.

Measure the pillow.
In our case it is 24 x 16. For the front side of the pillow add 1” on each side = 25 x 17.
For the back side, add 5 inches to the length = 29 x 16.
Lay the longest fabric = backside. Find the midpoint then cut it into 2 pieces.
Hem the end. Take note: fold towards the wrong side of the fabric.
Lay the pretty side of the front side facing you. Match the raw edges of the back side fabrics.
You’ll see an overlay … the reason why it is called envelope pillow case.
Pin it and stitch around using 1/4 seam allowance.
Wala! You got an envelope pillow case.A great opportunity for me to sleep upstairs .. in the bedroom.
Typically, I am not allowed to be in the bedroom … so this a Golden Treat!
