from storage boxes to room decor/personalized bins

Supllies: I took left over fabric, ribbon, hot glue gun, and an iron
We had old large plastic storage tubs, and added them to Fisher's room. So, I had to personalize them for him.

They are fun and playful and cute! 

Kitchen Pallet

My new kitchen pallet!
supplies:
old pallet
paint
painters tape
exacto knife
Step1: sand, and gesso ALL pallets! you never know what they could of been carrying, and this will seal any harmful substances in

Step 2: tape off! or let your toddler help

Lol, once he is done, finish it up

Step 3: paint your ideas
I used four colors: white, pale yellow, marigold yellow, and red/orange in what I call charlie brown zig zags!

then I thought it looked a little tribal for my mod style, so I figured it was for the kitchen, so I kitched it up~

and VOILA!

from cheap, ugly lamp shades to WOW!

 

Supplies: scissors, exacto knife, fabric, hot glue, iron, paint, ribbon

I had old lamps I got for $10.00, I bought them, they were ugly, but decided to give them a re-ferb!
-Step 1: I stripped the old fabric from the lamp (CAREFULLY) with an exacto knife, so that I could retrace the correct size, with the new fabric

-Step 2: I traced the old fabric, onto new fabric, and cut it out...I chose to stencil and paint my design on the new fabric

-Step 3: I used the hot glue to wrap TIGHTLY! around the edges. (go slow! so that you dont get wrinkles!)

-Step 4: Next, I cut and ironed edges down for the corner coverings

-Step 5: Then, I cut out and double glued ribbon as my trim

. . .and VOILA! custom lamp shades!
