DIY Mid-Century Modern Inspired glasses

Hello all ! Today its another DIY day here on designforsoul. If you read yesterday’s post you’ll know I mentioned watching Mad Men recently and am totally inspired by the mid century vibe. I loved ‘Peggy Olsen’s’ character played by Elizabeth Moss. Her style, creative thinking , workspace, everything . In one of the episodes they have shown a bar cart in her office and my eye naturally went to the beautiful glasses. They appear in a couple of episodes on season 4. Below a is picture for you guys.

So inspired by these, today we are making DIY mid-century modern inspired glasses. If you are planning on some spring get-togethers or pool parties this is a perfect project for you . I chose the lines pattern but you could even do flowers or other shapes. Who doesn’t like a project involved with gold paint right? I bet your guests will love them too!

DIY Table Napkins

Hey there! How’s the week going so far? Today I am sharing a super easy DIY Table napkin tutorial with you guys . As you might have noticed in my previous DIY posts most of them involve paints in some or the other way. I love painting and am constantly thinking of different ways they can be used in everyday projects. The Easter egg decor involved spray painting with toothbrush and do you remember the ‘Strokes’ painting series that I started? I know I’m a lil behind on that but there will more posts coming up soon on that, promise! For now follow along on this easy DIY project to make your table pretty and ready for Spring!

You Need:

Fabric Squares – Any craft store will have them . I got mine from Hobby Lobby and they were just $1.99 a piece.

Paints- You could use any fabric or craft paints that you have. I used acrylic colors which I already had.

Sharpie- I am using a yellow brush tip fabric sharpie to draw the outline of the shapes on the fabric.

Gold Marker- I am using this one from Pen-Touch. However you could use any gold marker with the thickness of your choice

Oh and the cute little glasses you see in the pictures below are (my favs) from OhJoy! for Target collection.

Birchbox Favorites

1

Last year one of my very good friends gifted me a 6 month subscription to Birchbox. I had no clue what it was and all she said was you will a get a box every month at your doorstep with some of your favorite things and each time it will be a surprise. Doesn’t it sound like a dream gift ever? well and it definitely was. I loved it so much that I extended my subscription beyond the 6 months for the next year. You can even customize your interests and still be surprised when you get the box every month. Today I am sharing some of my favorite products with you.
