Haute Chocolate!

Today, may I suggest another idea
on how to turn this bottle...


...from blah to TADA!

Turn it into a gift!

Fill it with hot chocolate & marshmallows.
Dress it up and offer it to a friend.
All she needs to do is add warm milk.

Hot. Sweet. Smiles guaranteed.

Milk or Cream?

This blah glass bottle is getting a
make-over this week.


TADA! Turn the bottle into a creamer!
Doesn't it remind you of glass milk
bottles of old?


Fill it with milk, half & half or soy milk...whatever
you fancy.

Or have the above choices for guests at a dinner party. Label appropriately and they'll praise you as the thoughtful host who didn't miss a single detail!

Caffeine in a Bottle


Happy Monday & happy First day of March!

This week, we'll turn this drink bottle
from blah to TADA!


Peel off the sticker labels, replace the cap with a cork and TADA! -- it makes storing kitchen staples chic and cheerful.

Use it for beans, grains or rice and
add
a name tag.


How pretty these would look
on your
shelf or kitchen window!

Dining with Denim

This week, I took Susie's challenge to transform
old jeans from blah to TADA!

I admit, I made mostly things to wear.
Today, let's take the denim into the dining room!


After a thorough washing,
turn the denim into coasters!


For double fun, use denim on one side and a printed
fabric (your fabric scraps will be willing volunteers)

on the other side.


It's a cute way to avoid beverage stains
on
your precious tables!


I wish you all a happy weekend!

Inspiration: Denim

Denim, no matter how old, is a wonderful canvas
to create something
TADA!


An article in Elle Magazine inspired me to make
a few Tada! accessories out of blah denim.


Some delicate, dangly earrings.

A sweet, sublime necklace.

A courageous cocktail ring!

I hope I've inspired you to make your
own denim accessories!

Denim Decor

It's all about old denims this week on my blog!

An old, blah pair of jeans can be turned
into
something new and Tada!


Like this denim corsage...created by cutting the denim
into petals, sewing them together and
adding
a pin to the back.


Use it to spice up any hat you own...

Or add some flavor to a plain jacket!

Delightful Clutch

One of our readers, Susie, challenged me to re-fashion an old pair of jeans.

Blah: a tired old pair

TADA!: cut it up, sew it back and turn it into a classy clutch

Perfect for an afternoon with the girls
or
a night on the town!

See you tomorrow!
