Hello Christmas. You're looking lovely…..

I just wanted to share some Christmas cheer with everyone today. These are my Christmas globes that I promised to share. I made a bunch more. These were my favorites. It is a Charlie Brown Christmas:)

Drab to Fab!

 

I finally got some fake TOMS:p

(Is it strange to be so excited over knock-offs?)

So of course I wound up with 2 shoe boxes. I can never throw them away! They can be used to keep me organized and store things. This time I decided to dress them up!

 Here are my boxes.

 I chose my fabric...I stuck with an old flower sheet and this black and white fabric I didn't know we had!

 I laid the top of the box out on the fabric and cut enough all the way around to sew to the inside of the box.

 I did the same with the bottom. Then I ironed them.

 I hot glued the edges to the insides of the box.

 I wrapped the edges like you would wrapping paper on a gift.

 So I had my box! The inside looked rough with all my glueing. Time for a lining!

 I measured the fabric,cut it out, and then glued the folded ends together.

 I did the same thing with the smaller box.

 My finished product:)

 So fun! I will do this with all my shoe boxes from now on!
Have a great day!

Ways to get organized-Part 1: DIY $5.00 makeup displays

 HI:D
So I have been trying to organize my room lately. I of course went straight to Pinterest! I found some really cute ideas! I got inspired (as always) and decided to get crafty. I didn't want to spend a lot of money so I headed to the dollar store to get all the things I needed to make these cute displays:)

 (Please excuse the picture quality)
I bought all of this at Dollar Tree. Four glass candle jars,a candle stick holder,and some colorful beads.

 I filled up the round glasses with the beads and stuck my brushes in it.....

 I hot glued on of my square glasses to the candle stick holder....

 I wanted one to be higher than the other;) Then I filled them with beads.

 I made the labels with a paper bag and my stamp kit.

Very simple and very cheap! This project only cost me $5.00 to make!
Have a great day!

Fabric Covered Letter Tutorial

 So I haven't done many craft tutorials on here as of late. Mainly because I've been too busy to do any crafting! I got an opportunity this past week to fix up this wooden letter I have had for a year now.(did I just admit that??) So anyways, I knew I wanted to paint it and cover it with fabric. That's precisely what I did.

 Before

 My supplies.....

 I mixed the colors to get this nice pastel blue color.

 Painted.

I chose some fabric that we had on hand that would bring out the color that I had painted the letter.

 I cut it out smaller than it was traced because I wanted to be able to see what I had painted.

 I used Elmer's Craft Bond Adhesive spray to attach the fabric to the letter. Then I sealed it with the Mod Podge spray.

I let it dry and tada! My initial! I think I will put it on my wall,but I am not quite sure yet;)

I glitzed my ipod case!!

I love sparkly things! If you visit my Pintrest you'll see! So I kind of got bored with my Jelly Bean ipod case,so I decided to do something about it. I choose my colors for the sparkle and took off!

Sparkled Ipod Case

 So pretty!

 This is the front of the case....

 and here is the back.

 I painted my case purple and covered it with a polyurethane(you don't have to use this step) I wanted the case to match my stones.

 Then I took the glue gun and attached my gems. Alternate colors;)

This was the finished results. Cute!
Have a great day!
