Since I've tried many ideas I've come across while perusing others' boards, I thought I'd post some of my final products along with the original and let you be the judge!
First up, the paper covered glass doors. Here is the original:
When having a bunch of company, we needed to use the toy room for sleeping quarters, so I wanted to create some privacy in there. So I measured 1 pane and started cutting. Here is the result:
Not bad, but obviously you can see light around the edges. I guess every pane isn't the same size - oh well. Good enough for me!
Bleach screen printing - the link for this photo no longer worked, so I have no site to link it to. I thought this might be an easy way to make a customized t-shirt - looked easy enough.
Cutting out the image on the contact paper was the hardest part - what a pain. No one has worn this yet.
Fish cupcakes! Even now, these look ridiculously easy.
So why don't they look the same? The tails were droopy and the faces were weird. I guess taking the easy way out with white frosting was my problem.
Edible fish aquarium
These were probably my biggest disappointment. Not that cute and so totally NOT edible - sprite jello does not taste good.
Checkerboard cake
I actually expected this one to be a fail. Here was my first attempt on Rylan's 4th birthday.
And my second attempt on Mackenzie 4th birthday. Second time around was much better but not sure why, I don't remember doing anything different. Oh well, they both tasted good!
Star cookies
These were for Mackenzie's Dora party last year. I see it now, the eyes are too far apart! I won't be selling mine on etsy, but Mackenzie loved them.
Tooth Pillow
I shocked myself with this one - I'd say I did pretty darn good!
So my attempts aren't usually as good as the real thing, but that's not stoping me from trying more projects!
