Made it Monday: Lucky

Finally, I’m back with some crafts! I am so excited to share what I have been working on with you! After taking down all of my Valentines décor, I started working on decorating my place for St. Patrick’s Day. I had an idea in my head for a while to make an art piece out of a cupboard door I found in a free pile at a garage sale. Here is what I came up with:



I started off by removing the hardware and sanding it down (I love my mouse sander!). There was a good size hole in an awkward spot from where the handle was, so I knew I was going to have to be creative in order to cover that up.




After I sanded it, I primed and spray painted it. Then I roughed up the edges a bit to give it an aged look.




Next, I used my cricut to cut out the word “lucky.” I debated weather to use my vinyl as a stencil and paint on the word or to use the green vinyl. I decided I liked the green vinyl and it would be a lot easier, so I went with that.




To finish it off and cover up that hole, I rolled some flowers out of remnant fabric/burlap and hot glued them on. It is enjoying its new home on my seasonal shelf and I’m lovin’ it!



I finished a lot more fun projects over the past few days and will be sharing them with you soon!

Pillows!

I was feeling a bit sick of some of the throw pillows on my couch. I was feeling inspired by some pillows I had seen on my latest addiction…Pinterest. I decided to recover/repurpose some throw pillows that I had. Here are two of the new ones:







For the bottom pillow, I used the same technique as I did on my office chair redo. I am really having fun painting of fabric!

Easy Wall Art

I’m back again with another project that I did last weekend. This will also be going in the nursery at my parents’ church. This is so easy!





Here’s what you’ll need:



canvas-I get mine at Michaels



fabric



staple gun



Basically, you just wrap the canvas like a present and staple it in place. Yep, its that easy!





Here is another one I did for my sister:





I can’t wait to see both of them hanging up!
