Oh, what a weekend it has been! I don't even know where to begin...
My Pinterest projects. That's a good start.
On Friday I went to Salvation Army to pick up some shirts for work and decided to keep an eye out for anything I might need to complete some projects. And of course, I found a beautiful picture frame and a lace curtain that were perfect for two of my projects!
The frame I picked up for $2.99!
On Sunday my roommates, Miriah and Amanda, and I decided to take a trip to Michael's to pick up a few things we needed to be crafty.
First of all, I have a hard time going into Michael's because it seems like every time I'm there I walk around aimlessly for an hour. Everything I see I start thinking of cool things I could make.
Second of all, I always end up spending way too much money on these 'cool things' I see. However, I decided that this trip was going to be different. I went there with a mental list of things I needed to complete some projects. And let me tell you, I stuck to my list. Unless you count the other things I bought which were too good to resist. I don't count those things. (;
One of my 'list' items was my new best friend; my glue gun...
Isn't he handsome?
Anywho, when we got back we began our crafting adventures!
My second Pinterest project of the summer. Drumroll, please...
Picture frame earring holder
This project was super easy and quick to make!
Here's what you need:
-A picture frame (all you need is the frame; no glass. I just had one laying around)
-A piece of lace same size as the frame
-A glue gun (or any kind of glue that will stick the lace to the frame
Here's what you do:
-Cut lace to fit the exact size of the frame
-Flip frame to the back side
-Place glue along the edges of the frame
-Place lace on glue (stretch the lace so it doesn't slouch when you put your earrings on it)
-Put earrings on it!
See. Super easy and quick! This project only took me 10-15 minutes to do!
And now for my third Pinterest project...
My super-cool dry-erase calendar!
Here's what you need:
-Picture frame (you'll want a medium-large one)
-Decorative paper
-Card stock paper
-Dry-erase marker
-Glue
Here's what you do:
-Cover the cardboard that comes with the frame in your decorative paper
-Cut card stock into desired size squares
-Glue card stock to decorative paper according to a calendar (5x7)
-Place it all in the picture frame with glass
-Take dry-erase marker and create your calendar!
I love this calendar for organizational purposes.
I spent about $7 total for the entire project!
Two projects in one day! I feel so productive!
Now onto picking out what's coming next!
