Timely Tuesdays: DIY Notebook Paper Artwork

Alright, so today we are going to be creating some artwork for any room in your house.  The supplies you're going to need for this project are:

• Canvas (size of your choosing)
• Notebook Paper
• Hot Glue Gun
• Spray Paint (color of your choosing)

 ( I re-purposed an old canvas, so I used white paint as a primer to cover it )

 

So this is what it looked like before painting it with the green paint.

This is the final product

I hope that you guys like it!  If you make one, send me a link to a photo...I'd love to see what you come up with!

Timely Tuesdays: DIY Dry Erase Board

Okay, I know that I'm a little late and I'm SUPER sorry, especially since it's the first week that I'm trying to do my weekday themes.  (Not very "timely" of me)! Plus, my computer has been acting up and making things more difficult than they need to be.

Timely Tuesdays will be posts of different types of How To's that you can do in a "timely" fashion.  Pretty much, "anyone can do it" how to's.  

Today I'm going to show you how to make a Dry Erase Board using a poster frame and some fabric.  It's super easy and let's face it, much prettier than using one from your local office supply store.  And did I mention cheaper?  So let's get started!

Here is the FINAL PRODUCT!!  YAY!

So, what are your thoughts?  Does it make you wanna go make one right now?

DIY Ribbon Pomanders

So, I was originally going to do silk flower pomanders, which I still may do a couple of, but I decided since part of our theme is putting our two personalities into our wedding as much as possible (and I have lots of ribbon everywhere) I decided to use ribbon!!! Yay!!! The flowers are from our engagement party, so we just decided to reuse them. P.S. I think that they look much better in person than they do in photos.

What you'll need: 5 in. styrofoam ball, 3 silk flowers of your choice, about 15 yards of assorted ribbon, about 4 ft. of a thicker ribbon (for the hanger), dress maker's pins, wire cutters, chopstick or thin wooden dowel rod
Directions: Cut each piece of ribbon to about 4 1/2 in. strips, use wire cutters to cut your flowers to where the stem is about 2 in. long; I used the chopstick to stab straight through the ball for the spot where the hanging ribbon goes. Fold your large piece of ribbon in half, wrap the looped end around the end of the chopstick and push straight through the hole. Leave the looped end longer on the opposite side (you know...to hang it). Tie the two ends together to make a knot on the bottom side and loop and pin the ends to the ball. Tie the top into a knot on the ball to also keep it secure. Now start covering it by looping the ribbons and pinning them, randomly all over it. Make sure that you leave room for your flowers at the top around the hanger. Gently push your flowers into the ball and "Voila!" You have a beautiful ribbon pomander!!!
