In one of the recent issues of Birds and Blooms it showed a picture where a reader had cut out pictures from the magazine and pasted them onto a plant watering bucket. Then they sealed the top with several coats of a sealer. Kind of like decoupaging. It was beautiful!

There is a Hallmark store going out of business here -- all cards are 50% off ... there are so many beautiful pictures on cards ---- this gave me an idea !!! Uh - Ohhhhh -
here I go again buying stuff ! Thanks for the ideas !!! :)

i've also seen the decoupaging with magazines. They did it on wood tray and made it into a mosaic. I tried it once myself, I base coated my tray (walmart) and then drew my design on the tray and started going through my old mags to find the colors I liked. You can cut them out or tear to get the raw edge.I used tacky glue to place them. It was really fun. When you done just apply a sealer. Also with cards I've taken my favortite christmas cards and simply put them in a frame to hang, I used a frame set of three that hang together. That way your not spending alot of money on art that is just up for a season. I used to be a single mom and made alot of stuff the cheap way, to cut corners.
