DIY Picture Canvas

Hello lovely ladies. How are you guys doing?

Today I wanted to share an awesome canvas idea that you can make for your little ones or as a gift. My little girl is about to turn 1! Yep time goes by too fast right?!?! In getting everything ready for her party, I wanted to make a little something that I can place on the table where the cakes and cupcakes will be. The idea of a canvas with pictures of her popped into my mind and so I decided I would make one.

This project was so much fun and easy to make. There are no rights or wrongs. Just whip up some pictures, scissors, a blank canvas, some paint & brushes, glue gun & tape, your favorite embellishments and your set!

Here are a few pictures of how I made mine.

First I painted the canvas pink. I added some beige and a darker pink to add a little bit of contrast.

I didn't really bother painting where the picture was going to be since It wasn't going to show.

Next I decided to use a piece of ribbon that ran across the canvas. First I glued it to the back.

And then ran it across like this.

I decided to add some pink buttons to the center of the flowers. Just to give it a cute touch.

After that was done. I used mod podge on the big picture to glue it down. I added adhesive foam to the little one so that It would pop up a bit.

Next I used tulle that I had left over after making her tutu, to put on the bottom of a ribbon flower that I had made a while back.

Like this :) I love the way it looks.

Next I added some cute embellishments.

"I Adore You"

I used my Cricut to add her name on the canvas.

I also cut out a couple hearts. They were both different sizes and colors. I used adhesive foam once again so they can pop out.

And then I was done! I love the way it turned out:)

I hope you feel inspired to make your own!

Blessings...

DIY Felt Rosette Wreath

So I wanted to share this Wreath full of rosettes that I just finished a couple days ago. I love the way it turned out. I think the red is beautiful & a color you can use all year round.

It seriously took me forever to make it though. Just as I thought I was done, I had to go to Michael's to get more felt and make more rosettes. Then after making like another 40, I ended up needing more...ahhhh I wanted to scream!!! After one more trip to Michael's again, I finally finished it! Even though I was a little frustrated, I loved the outcome!

Have I ever mentioned how i have an obsession with wreaths?!?

I just love making them, there so fun & look so pretty when there hanging from the front door :)

If any of you need to know how to make a rosette & missed my last post where I showed how, just click HERE.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a blessed Sunday.

Shower Curtain Hooks w/ Felt Rosettes

Hey you guys! I'm so sorry I have been so absent lately but, Iv'e got so much going on!!! Don't we all? ;/ Isn't this month supposed to be peaceful! LOL & yet every year i manage to have a thousand things on my plate.

I've been getting as many things as I can done because I have a woman's conference Saturday where I'm blessed by setting up a table with all my crafts, the jewelry that i've made & other fun stuff! I'm so excited but I'm also overwhelmed with trying to get as much done!

So with that being said here's a little something that i whipped up!

It was really easy to make and just incase some of you don't know how to make the felt rosette, i have the tutorial for it below the hooks picture.

* * * * * * * *

I got these hooks at Target on sale and i thought they would be perfect to add something to them since they were a little too plain. I thought, hmmm what about a cute rosette made out of felt?

I started by making the flower. The square is approx. 3/3. It doesn't have to be though, it all depends on how big or small you want your flower.

Cut around your square to create an ugly looking circle like this :)

Once your circle is cut, start cutting towards the inside to form a spiral like this.

Now start rolling it up towards you with the side where you first started cutting your spiral.

Keep on rolling.

Add a little bit of glue to the end to secure the rosette from coming apart.

Now add glue to your curtain hook.

And glue the rosette on.

And there you have them! Cute shower curtain hooks with felt rosettes. A simple idea i know but i thought they would look adorable in any bathroom.

Hope your Friday is blessed!

P.s. Im guest posting over @ ReMade Simple & Snow in December!

Come check it out!!!

DIY Cookie Stand & The Winner Is Announced!!!

Hello, hope you guys are all having a wonderful day. Today i wanted to share with you guys my first little cookie stand that i made.

When i found this cute little plate i had to get it!

Isn't it adorable?

I already had the candle holder so all i did was get some epoxy glue, followed the simple directions on glueing & i was done.

After the pieces were glued, i whipped out some ribbon and intertwined it in-between the plate. Just like this. I thought it would give it a cute touch with the red.

And here it is, simple & cute.

Please forgive me because the cookies aren't the best looking cookies in the world but, that's all i had at the moment.

Okay and now, moving onto the WINNER for My Very First Giveaway!!!!!

DIY Styrofoam Christmas Tree

So today i wanted to share with you all the simple styrofoam tree that i made. After seeing the lovely christmas trees that Kristina from ReMade Simple was making, she inspired me to make my own. Thanks girly :)

I used white yarn and some of those little red decor balls that i used for my Pinecone Garland.

I wasn't sure what to use for the topper so I went to Michaels and found a cute little star. I thought, "this will do it."

Of course you can use whatever color of yarn you want but this is how i did it.

* * * * * * *

You will need:

Styrofoam cone (whatever size you want)

yarn

little red ball decor

glue gun

glass candleholder

scissors

Start wrapping the yarn around your styrofoam cone. I didn't worry about doing mine all perfect. I just did it all over the place and i loved the way it looked.

Once your done, add a dot of glue to the end of your yarn and glue to set.

Just like this.

Now once you've cut as many mini red balls you want to use, start gluing them onto your tree.

Keep on glueing.

Now grab your glass votive (i got mine @ Michael's, they are all 50% off!!!!) and glue it onto the bottom of your tree so that it becomes a stand.

After you've done that, glue your topper. It doesn't have to have one though. You could do it either way.

And here it is. A pretty white and red tree :)

"Give thanks to the Lord for He is good, His LOVE endures forever."
