Hey Guys! After losing many hairbows and not having a proper place to keep Jordyn's headbands I took to pinterest to get some inspiration for a DIY headband & hairbow holder and I came up with this. Here are the materials I used: I thought it would be better on the bare cardboard so I tried to rip the label off and um, yeah that's about all that came off. No worries though it was actually better to keep the label on. I used a sponge brush to brush a coat of Mod Podge on my canister and smoothed my scrapbook paper on it while I was working my way around. I used a credit card to make sure it was perfectly smoothed and to get out any wrinkles or air bubbles. I wanted to jazz up the design a little so I used two different colors and two different sizes of ribbon to line the top and bottom of my holder To finish it off I add a a few jewels I had on hand but were purchased at Wal Mart awhile ago in a set for a few dollars, I used hot glue to set … [Read more...]

So this year for the diva's birthday she told me wanted a Barbie Doll House well I checked them out online and they were pricey and plastic-y so I decided I would make her one!   I purchased a 3 shelf bookcase at Walmart, it was black so I bought 2 cans of spray paint and painted it white  I will be adding more as we go but I wanted to have something done on her birthday, the first level is the living room and we'll add the kitchen area later, notice the green grass rug with her doggy outside and her car parked on the other side :)  I crocheted the couch and the throw pillow, the rug was a free sample at Lowe's the coffee table was $1 at Joann's and I painted it.

My cousin was gifted 5 dining room chairs and they weren't in the best condition, she wanted me to help her reupholster them and I happily agreed!Here is the chair before:Pretty Stained The original material on the chairs was a beige brush suedeWe went shopping for new fabric at Joann's and since she has an active 2 year old she opted for a vinyl material that can easily be wiped off.Here is the process:I unscrewed the the padded part from the frame of the chair cut out enough vinyl fabric to cover and then stapled the vinyl material over and screwed the padded part back onto the chair frameHere is the finished project:I used just under 2 yards of vinyl fabric and she spent a total of $53 for the fabric, a heavy duty staple gun and extra staples.A quick and simple fix to give the chairs a new look and new life!Here is the table with the chair all put togetherMy next project is to re-stain her table legs to match the chairs (That will be at a later date and another post)I picked … [Read more...]
