Spring Wreath

My friends and I got together a week ago and had a craft night. We each made a fabric covered wreath and we followed a tutorial provided by The Newlywed Pilgrimage.  

I purchased three different spring like pattern fabrics and the 18" straw wreath from Hobby Lobby.

 Then we made simple burlap flowers for the wreath decorations. We had a great time getting together and making the wreaths.

My friends also made some burlap monograms signs similar to what I have shared here on the blog. 

Nursery Wall Art

One of my favorite people in the world is having a baby in July. My college roommate is seriously one of the nicest people I know. She shared nursery art that she had seen on Etsy and asked if I had time to create something similar for her.

I purchased shelf liner in beach blue chevron on Amazon for $10.99.  For some reason though they do not have the beach blue as an option now. You receive two rolls for a total of 120".  

I cut the shelf liner down to size for an 8x10 frame from Michaels. I was able to get three frames for under twenty dollars.

I bought a giraffe, elephant and rhino/hippo combo images from the Silhouette Online Store for $.50 each. I used two 12 x 12 vinyl sheets I already had purchased and used about a half of each of them total.

Here is how they turned out...

I think this is just what the mom-to-be had in mind. I really hope she likes them.  Enjoy your day.

DIY Baby Closet Dividers

I had my eye on some closet dividers for the boys and a few of my friends who were going to have babies soon. I saw some on Etsy, but with the amount that I needed I did not see the need in buying them already made. I found a great DIY Tutorial from Journey Chic on how to create your own.  I purchased Closet Dividers from Amazon, and there were 50 of them for $20. The sets I was looking at on Etsy and other sites were approximately $10 for a set of six.

I started out with the plain white organizer. Then I traced some scrapbook paper and cut out the shapes. I attached the shapes to the organizer with glue dots.

I typed up the sizing labels on Word and cut them out attaching them with glue dots as well.

I also made some with some pink colored paper as well for a little girl.

Each set of six cost $2.60 to make. Each organizer is $.40 and the scrapbook paper was $.20. That is not a bad deal for a little gift for a mom-to-be. I plan on using this as the gift topper to my larger gift at the shower.

Thanks for stopping by!
