The only thing i did different...is i used 1 hanger..i didnt cut it or anything, just bent it to the way i wanted! Also i used a yard of fabric and i think she only used 1/3.
you can use anything to make this tho...ribbion, or any other fabric that you like!
ALSO

This is another $ 1 store find...you can buy these cups LArge or small and you buy the candle stick they have a few to choose from. The picture below is a candle stick i already had...So you can do either.

This is the one that i bought at the dollar store. E6000 it together. and you have a cute decoration for any holiday!

I painted it all white, and then with my jigsaw i cut out a circle big enough for my tree to fit in it. The drawers open up, so i put the stand in it and then placed the tree in the hole into the stand. Wall-la. FYI, do this before you have your tree all put together and all the decorations on it. MUCHO easier im sure!!

After i painted it white and sanded the edges and stained all of it. I LOVE it.. Ooops forgot to put the knobs back on!

i bought these corn husks at walmart in the mexican food isle. you will prolbey need two bags and then i just used the dollar store green foam wreath. we shredded each husk into about one inch long peices, and then tacked the thicker side to the foam wreath with just sewing pins.

Crib Bench. TUtorial

2010-08-11T20:19:00.000-07:00

So here is my breif tutorial on how i made my Crib Bench!!!

I love the idea to make a crib bench because you can make two matching ones to decorate from the heads of the crib, OR if you have two kids that used the same crib, you can make them each there own. OR you can even cut the second head in half and use it for the arms!

I cut 2 by 4 and made a box like this~!

Screwed my box on about 19 " high, i think that is the perfect height for the seat of a bench, then i got some scrap MDF. i cut it a little higher and about 1/2" longer on the sides because im going to add some bead board and i want it to fit in between them.

I nailed on the top slats, added my bead board to cover the exposed 2 by 4, and then added a slat at the bottom so i can put a basket or something on it, and it also makes it alot stronger.

Im not the best at giving tutorials, but i hope you can use this....I would love for you send me pictures of your finished projects.

CRIB Bench, tutorial comeing tomorrow!!!

2010-08-11T15:05:00.000-07:00

I think it turned out so good for my first one. So come tomorrow and see how you can make one out of those old cribs that are laying around everywhere. :)

My Solutions to everyday CraZiness; chore Chart, guest blogging!!

2010-08-08T20:49:00.000-07:00

Hi, Im Mellissa from over at Small Town Crafts! Amanda has asked me to explain how i created my chore chart to help simplify my life, So here are the details and tutorial of my handy chore chart.

So the first thing you need to know is that this isn't an every single chore, chore chart. It's mostly thing we over look on a weekly basis, i.e walls, cabinets, baseboards, floors. I know everyone vacuums every day, and does kitchen and living room cleaning, the basics. The chores that i've picked are deep cleaning chores. When it says floor, it's not just the kitchen, it's every floor in the house. Trust me the first week or two it's hard work, but one a month goes by and everything is clean, it's mostly just keep up. For instance, when you do the walls, it's mostly spot cleaning, the first week you will have many more spots than a month from now.
So this is my list of chores that I do, It's different for everyone, and there are so many more that can be added. Bathrooms we clean on a daily basis and keep it tidy, but this lets me know that I need to go in and make sure cabinets are organized, showers are scrubbed and tp is stocked. And cabinets is a wipedown or wood shining of kitchen and bathroom cabinets.

Mondays: Dust and Cabinets
Tuesday: Walls and Baseboards
Wednesdays: Floors and Windows
Thursdays: Mirrors and Garbage
Fridays: Bathrooms and Couches
Saturdays: Yardwork

It's also a laundry chart, I used to pick one day and do ALL the laundry on that day. Yes it was called......Laundry day, or the DrEadEd day. I soon realized the day after Laundry day was the hardest cleaning day. Since I was so focused on laundry all day my daily duties of that day got put off until later. So I started doing a few loads everyday. I can actually see my laundryroom floor now, everyday, it'a amazing! At the end of everyday I gather all the dirty clothes from our rooms and bathrooms and sort them in there bins in the laundryroom. Then I have designated days that I do certain loads. I always put laundry first, as soon as I roll out of bed I throw in the load of laundry. I also fold it as soon as it's dry whenever possible. If you stick to this system your loads won't usually be massive, so it'll be your new favorite chore...hehe....okay, that's a strech.

Mondays : Bedding, All sheets and Blankets
Tuesdays: All colors
Wednesdays: All towels and Dog stuff (beds or blankets)
Thursdays: delicates and area rugs
Fridays: Boys Clothes
Saturdays: Whites and Church

I'm sure it's different for everyone, but you put your schedule in an order of convience. I do all the whites on Saturday because my husband is a painter and he wears all white when he works. I do it all Saturday so I never have to worry through the week if he has clean clothes. Some days are easier than others, like my color days I have more loads than any other day.
NOW ON TO THE TUTORIAL:
Items needed:

Magnetic paint and Chalkboard paint (magnet paint says it should take only 2 cotes, but i did 5, test with a magnet in between each coat until you are satisfied)
Magnetic paint should be applied first and Chalkboard is abt 2-3 coats.

A large mirror or even a picture frame with wood. I had an extra mirror that I wasnt using, it's 24" wide and 36" tall. If your using a mirror or glass make sure to scuff it up a bit with a piece of fine grit sand paper so it doesnt just peel off.

Then take a 2" piece of painters masking tape and tape up the edges, try not to put too much of the tape under the fram or it can cause peeling. After you've masked and scuffed the mirror it's time to paint!
I never use brushes on chalkboard projects because of brush lines. I usually use one of my husbands paint rollers. There are small and large ones available depending on your project. For this one I used a 3" roller, make sure it's wool and not foam. Then I just followed the directions on the cans. let 15 minutes to dry in between coats, and 1 hour or more in between the magnetic and chalkboard.

The last thing you have to do is come up with your game plan. Which days are convient for which chores and laundry (those of you with older kids(or a lot of kids) are gonna have a sparkling house) Then using scrapbook paper cut out strips and then using Scrapbook lettering put yours chores on the strips. I used two different papers, one for laundry and one for chores. Then laminate your pieces and cut them out. Hot glue one thick circular magnet onto the back of each piece.
Then lable your chart Chores, I used Precut letters, I also used them to lable the days of the week. And there you have it, your deep clean Chore Chart!

My Hobby lobby Rooster Remake!

2010-06-21T17:38:00.000-07:00

This past weekend we went up to the Valley and went to my Favorite store, hobby lobby! I got this rooster on the left from there for $ 4.50. When i got home i started playing with it and created my own (on the right). Not to bad!!

I thought it would be cute to make a picture like this with two facing each other.

My grandma ~~has~~ Had a ton of panel from when she was redoing her house, So now it over flows in my garage. So i stenciled the hobby lobby rooster onto it and cut it out using a jigsaw. So i made one that stands up, and then two facing each other for my picture. The frame was just scrap stuff that i had, again Over flowing my garage!

My Chunky Black ring!!

2010-06-20T16:42:00.000-07:00

Alright, so this is as good as it get for now, until i can order some ring bases! I got this colorful ring at walmart in the jewlery section for A dolla! Then i got this big black button for less then $2! Not as cheap as i would like but not to bad for a big chuncky black ring. IM excited to order some bases, so i can go crazy making these! :) So more post to come!

Scored it for only a DOLLAR!

2010-06-13T07:55:00.000-07:00

I saw these at this at the thrift store for about a month,and there weren't any takers, so i finally decided to bring them home. Since they had been there for ever, i scored 2 for a dollar Each! not bad!

They didn't have tops on them so i cut some scrap bead board, and slide it in for the top! i think it looks great for just a DOLLAR!!

New Key Rack!

2010-06-12T15:18:00.000-07:00

Can you tell i am Super bored today, i made a key holder! It was fun and i think it turned out so cute!

you can score these Cute sponge bob hooks at the dollar tree for only a dollar! um...i bout 13 of them. i have a cute idea for my stocking holder board!

I have a million frames and a bunch of scrap bead board, so i married the two, painted it white and wiped a stain over it!

Obviously i painted the hooks black, and i even think it would be cute to mod podge some cute scrap paper on it. but i like simple things so i left them!

Then i hung it, now it is perfect, right when we walk in we can hang are keys up!

My cowboy room!

2010-06-11T11:40:00.000-07:00

I found some rope at the thrift store so i took this formula can and transformed it. i want to make a ton, to fit all of his little puzzles in them!

Isnt this the cutest Coat Rac, this peice of wood was right down the road in a feild! I was a little bigger and i cut the other half off, BUT it goes perfect for the room. I LOVE IT!!!

I got these little star hooks at Hobby Lobby last time we went to the Valley!

A few ppl have been wanting to pictures of my little guys room, SO here are some pictures, everything in here is from yardsales, thiftstores, or was given to me. This Theme is so easy to decorate for, because ppl are always willing to give away old stuff.

RE-purposed clock!

2010-06-08T17:08:00.001-07:00

I picked up this clock at the thrift store a few wks ago, thinking i was just going to buy a clock kit for it, and use it as a clock. I couldnt find a place for it, so i decided to re-purpose it~ i repainted it white, distressed it, and then wiped a stain over it. I cut the picture to fit right in the middle. i ended up just spraying the back with adhesive, i did intend to modpodge it. It is stinking good for now, so maybe if it starts peeling i will.

i think it looks perfect (for now) right in my intry way~

Decorating for the 4th!!!

2010-05-31T21:36:00.000-07:00

I love everything about JUly, the 4th, my BIRTHDAY is in July and then we celebrate pioneer day on the 24th. It is just such a fun month full of fun events! Happy Memorial Day!

This was my project last year!

Satin Flower tuTorial!

2010-05-31T12:38:00.000-07:00

STEP 1: i layered the satin 3 times. Used a bowl that was about 5 1/2 inches and cut around it to make 3 circles!

there is 4 circles in this picture, but you only need 3

STEP 2: cut slits around circle

STEP 3 : cut off tips of each petal. FYI none of this has to be perfect because when you burn it you wont even tell!

STEP 4: now you are going to burn each petal. you will want to curve it like a petal and burn arount the edge. I used a lighter, but you could also use a candle.

this is what it will look like when they are all burned. if it catches fire, you can snip it off and burn it again. i liked the way they looked burnt so i kept it!

STEP 5 : take a piece of tulle the width of your flower. Tie it in a knot, take a second peice of tulle and then tie it in a knot around the first knotted piece, to make it look like this!

STEP 6 : Hot glue it to your petal!

IMPORTANT!!!!!!!

REPEAT STEPS 4 & 5 to make it look like the picture below. Also for this step i tied a third peice of tulle to make it even fuller!

STEP 6: Cut 4 petal apart from the base

STEP 7: glue them randomly like so!

STEP 8: you will make another tulle Knot like you did in STEP 5

STEP 8: bunch it so you can put a drop of hot glue on the knot!

STEP 9: glue it to the whole flower. after everything was glued on i went around and trimmed all the tulle to make it shaped like a flower!

STEP 10: i cut out to pieces of felt. glued one to the bottom of the flower, attached my alligator clip & a pin! Then i glued the other peice of flet inbetween the clip and pin to secure it!

My model was sleeping so you get me!!

I think they turned out so cute, you can wear them in your hair, on jewlery or clothes! i hope you understand everything, this is my first tutorial. im not too good at explaining how i do things. Let me know how i did!

Such a Great weekend!

2010-05-24T14:13:00.000-07:00
