Name wall art

I've been growing bored with my daughters room.

It needed a change and fast. Every Spring I try to add a little something new to every room in the house. Just to encourage change and the newness of Spring without spending a lot of money.

So I decided to cover their name art with new scrapbook paper.

I just traced the old letters, this was done in the wee hours of the morning when everyone was still asleep. So I had my giant craft light on.

All cut out

Then I slapped on some modge podge

Finished product!
Simple...

 Makenna's wall

Madison's wall

The colors worked well with the color of the wall, even though you can't tell from the picture that the wall is a light lime green. I love pink and green! 

upcycle Cheesy accessories

Recently I found these Cheesy Bracelets at my local $ store

I thought What can I do to cover them?

 I found this Lovely Fabric on sale at Joann's the other day and thought "why not?"

First I hot glued a long strip of the fabric to the

back of the bracelet  

 I used Modge Podge to glue the fabric, I just wrapped it then glued a little

more, then wrapped more. It's okay if you get some glue on the fabric because it will dry clear

This is what it looks like before I seal it, The print doesn't match up 

But that's okay with this pattern. Make sure to hot glue the end piece or you'll be sitting there holding it for an hour.

 Here it is with a top coat of Modge Podge to seal it and keep the fabric from fraying.

 All done drying and ready to go on my wrist! 

I love this one! It came out perfect and cost me like $1.50 to make!

I made one for Drea too!

Friendship Bracelets Hahaha!

That's so fifth grade...

Here's where I'm linked up at

road side score!

My friends Aunt was moving the other week, she was getting rid of a number of random items but something did get my attention...

 Frames! 

I can't get enough frames! Old, new, ugly, elegant. It doesn't matter because I'm going to transform them any ways. I picked up four frames and couldn't wait to get started!

Here's what I made and how to make it, enjoy!

Here's the frame, I didn't paint it because it looks good all on it's own.

I decided to make a grace frame like the faith frame I made with the $1 store find. 

I used cut out letters from my friends circut again, but you can use pre-cut die cut letters like these

This is the paper i used.

I measured the matting...

Then cut the printed paper to be my center mat...

you can use double sided tape..

.

Then I pulled out the chalks for some shading...

As I was shading I realized there needed to be more texture. So I used decorative scissors and shaded some more.

 Next I mod podged the letters on to the mat...

Then just put it all together.

It came out so pretty, Hope this inspired you!
