MAKE IT / 40 & GIVEAWAY
for this week’s DIY, we wanted to spruce up a lawn game. we thought this would be a good project if you were throwing a backyard party (paint them superbowl colors? themed birthday party? family reunion!) we love the idea of the classic horseshoes game with a little added color. we did this project in collaboration with the ready, set, paint blog hop where you can get all sorts of DIY ideas. here’s how to make the lawn game (and enter to win $200 to home depot down below. which i would most definitely spend on paint for my house if i won!)
here’s how to make the lawn game (and enter to win $200 to home depot down below. which i would most definitely spend on paint for my house if i won!)
what you’ll need:
• a horse shoe game set, there are several versions available online (we got ours here)
• ScotchBlue™ Painter’s Tape
• Testors enamel paint in 4 colors, 2 light or neutral and 2 darker or brighter colors
• self etching primer (can be found at auto parts stores)
• mineral spirits
• 400 grit wet/dry sandpaper
• paint brush
how to make it:
• using 3m blue painters tape, tape your horse shoes leaving about an 1 1/2 of the ends exposed.
• the key to making your paint job durable enough to withstand many games of horse shoes is proper preparation of your surface to be painted and dry time. be sure to carefully follow all the steps listed on the label of primer you use. you will want to clean the surface of your shoes with mineral spirits to remove any grease and dirt and then sand lightly with 400 grit sandpaper. spray primer according to their specifications.
• with your exposed area cleaned and primed, paint your first color with a lighter color enamel paint first. allow your paint to dry for a few hours before moving on to the next step.
• when your first color has had time to dry add another piece of blue tape to cover an additional 1/4 inch of the painted surface.
• paint your second color over top of your first color.
• repeat steps on all four shoes and on the posts if desired.
• allow shoes to dry for a minimum of 48 hours before playing to allow the paint to thoroughly dry and cure, we suggest even longer if you can stand to wait.
so, what do ya think? would you make this one? ALSO! we wanted to give you the opportunity to win $200 to the home depot for your next DIY or home project.

This DIY teaware lamp by Sarah Goodwin on Design*Sponge: http://www.designsponge.com/2011/03/diy-project-sarahs-china-teaware-lamp.html
After my first lamp fell apart and I almost electrocuted myself making my second lamp, I got help from a woman at the Home Depot, and two years later, my teaware lamp is still standing.
It’s even undergone a lampshade transformation, à la this beautiful fabric lampshade DIY from HonestlyWTF: http://honestlywtf.com/diy/diy-floral-lampshade/
I love your DIY tutorial, lawn games are the best and giving them a cute personality is great!.

Is it conceited to say that my favorite online DIY project is one I did? I saw a post about hanging “string gardens” and decided to try making some myself! They were wonderful.
http://dalemackey.wordpress.com/2011/08/17/make-a-hanging-garden/

I am currently interested in painting. My fav DIY’s include watercolor painting and how to add interest to them! I imagine I could use some scotch blue tape for that, too! I hope to paint with watercolors soon.

I’ve been inspired by a lot more difficult DIYs but usually never actually do my own. This one was the perfect level of difficulty–not so easy that it doesn’t really catch your attention, but not so hard that you’re too intimidated to try it.
I’m going to have to read through these comments and find more cream of the crop projects!!!
This is my favorite crochet craft. It’s very simple, my kind of DIY. http://allaboutami.tumblr.com/post/18110601640/knottedheadband

It is so hard to choose my favorite DIY on the internet. There are so many wonderful ones out there! My favorite right now would have to be stylizimo’s DIY trendy dining table. It’s such an easy, money saving, and practical DIY! It also looks amazing.
http://blog.stylizimo.com/2011/01/diy-new-trendy-dining-table-in-1-2-3.html
I think I would have to say Jordan Ferney’s confetti popper invitation. I ended up doing these for my friend’s bachelorette party and they were so cute!
My favorite is transforming an old bookcase to a dollhouse for my daughter. I love repurposing and recycling, and seeing your child’s smile and joy on your DIY hardwork is priceless. This bookcase was once colored brown and now it’s full of happiness. http://pinterest.com/pin/223913412695946975/
This was a tough decision thanks to Pinterest, but probably my own “Painted Curtains” project seen here: http://bit.ly/168MI6V. They’ve really brightened up our dining room!
My favorite is this lovely dog bed! http://wouldntitbelovelyblog.blogspot.com/2013/04/diy-easy-dog-bed.html

I want to make a cat bed/scratcher from a single ikea expedit as seen on ikeahackers!
This: http://www.fabricpaperglue.com/2013/04/semi-diy-agate-coasters.html
It’s so simple, and how beautiful would these be on a table? Not the most creative or ambitious of projects but something I could do in my living room.
This DIY Farmhouse Dining Table. I would totes use the $200 to buy the wood at Home Depot to build this bad boy.

Ikea hacks are lifesavers. I’m actually working on this one right now… http://littlegreennotebook.blogspot.com/2011/08/diy-arched-bookshelves.html
I love this wall so much by Jones Design Company that I did it also. DIY wallpaper is not for the faint of heart!
Great idea! I love to make my own tie dye curtains. I got the idea off of a blog. I did it over the weekend for my teenaged daughter and she loved them.
I loved these lanterns from the moment I saw them: http://nothingbutbonfires.com/reviews/hp-photosmart-c6380-wireless
I love this idea! My friends and I love outdoor games like corn hole and bocci ball, so this would be a fun mix:)
This is my current favorite DIY project- http://sayyestohoboken.com/2012/06/diy-laced-cement-votive.html
I’ve wanted to make the concrete votives ever since I saw them! So useful and unique:)
I gotta say, I absolutely love A Beautiful Mess’ DIY tree swing, it’s just so fun and easy! It was VERY hard to pick though.

Great idea for a party or wedding activity! My favorite DIY is making your own wrapping paper. Really easy to do with items around the house, and adds extra thought to a gift 🙂 http://alisaburke.blogspot.com/2012/06/i-cardboard-rolls.html
Someday, I swear, I will make these damn pipe shelves!!

This DIY console table caught my eye because it’s so simple, budget-friendly, and classic looking. I just need to finish up some other projects around the house before I can attempt to make my own. http://decorandthedog.blogspot.ca/2012/08/diy-console-table-how-to.html
This picnic blanket by Design*Sponge is still one of my favorite DIYs ever. The colors and pattern are just so rad. Who wouldn’t want to take that to a picnic?! http://www.designsponge.com/2012/10/diy-project-patterned-picnic-blanket.html
I have a ton of belts so this would be super useful for me. Could do something similar to hang necklaces and bracelets too. I could use some of the Home Depot gift card to do this project and I just bought a new house and got a ton of projects i could do around the house.

I adore Geneva from ‘A Pair & A Spare,’ and her DIY rug skirt has been a favorite of mine for years. It couldn’t be easier (or cheaper), and it just makes me so happy!

I know this isn’t very original, but I’ve always loved the Woven Lamp on Poppytalk by Bokkhou: http://www.poppytalk.com/2010/06/diy-with-bookhou-woven-lamp.html

I love this planter DIY because it is so simple and easy! I love fresh plants and I think this is a great way to make planting easy in the city! Also you can paint the blocks and make them more colorful and festive! http://alternative-energy-gardning.blogspot.com/2013/03/how-to-build-concrete-planter-box.html
My absolute favorite DIY isn’t quite vandalism, but pretty close…Moss Graffiti. I’ve tried it a number of times with friends and every time the results get better and better. Wonderful way to green-up any unfriendly streets.

Hi, great DIY like so many others! Sorry to post this question in here but where did you get those super cute blue and white star sneakers from the first picture?
Thanks

These are extremely beneficial and even if your car does not have
one, they can be purchased at online retail stores and even auction sites.
They always seem ready to jump to another level which we may be uncomfortable with at first,
but later we find ourselves excited about the end result whether we admit it
or not. Unfortunately, none of them signed up for a membership, but
every single one of them tried to persuade me to meet them
or send them naked pictures for free. One way we might
see ourselves as suppressing our anger is transferring unresolved anger onto situations that maybe do not warrant it.
