I think we’ve all seen the nail polish marbling of crockery on the blogs…. but I don’t like a mess (!) so I decided to try using nail polish on notecards.
This is another craft you can do with the kids but as always, I suggest making the thing by yourself first so you at least know how to troubleshoot, if necessary.
Supplies
- Nail polish (I used bottles I was about to toss anyway because they’d thickened) – you can use old or newer ones where you don’t like the colour on your nails
- notecards, gift tags, standard (10 X 15) cards
- envelopes (if you want to get really cute)
Method
- Prepare your area with some newspaper or scrap paper underneath
- Decide on your colours and patterns
- Have at it!
- I made some matching envelopes just because they’d be cuter
(these are the cards I did; the kids’ ones are a lot more… colourful!)
Can you think of any other nail polish crafts?
Would you make these notecards?
If do you make them, post them to instagram and tag me @marcia0608 and #organisingqueen. Thank you!
Oooooh but I LOVE this craft! Son2 and I will have a ball doing this. I must admit I never thought of doing a craft with old nail polish or with the colours that I don’t like. I always seem to give them away!
Have you done some yet?
I just used 4 cards that the kids made for birthday cards for Feb – I’m going to make some more this week for my Happy Mail project 🙂
An interesting way to use those thickened nail polish that I’m about to throw away. I will try this sometime
It is a GREAT idea! So easy and GREEN 🙂
