Gift Wrap: Making my own key holder from a tray.
1st I taped it off since I only wanted to paint over the flowery design
2nd I started applying paint. I did about 4 layers making sure each one was dry before applying the next one.
3rd I removed the tape
4th I attached a hook. I made the mistake of only putting one which caused a problem when there was only one key on the hook making the whole thing imbalanced. So... Make sure you can attach it to the wall in such a way the key's wont make it swivel. My fix: sticky tack.
5th Screw in hooks. The screws were about 1/4 inch too long so we had to cut off the tips and screw them back in.
6th Place it on the wall and enjoy! yay!

Banner:
This is my current project. To laminate or not to laminate that is the question. Do I want it to last forever and look like a place mate for a toddler or do I want it to look like a banner?
A duel purpose banner. It will say "Merry Christmas" on one side and "Happy Birthday" on the other.
The Happy B-Day is done I just need to finish the M.C. side. An update will be made as soon as it is completed.
Art Methods Class
Made placing paper on a warm skillet and drawing with crayons as they melt from the heat.

Poncho into a beach bag:
More to come on this latter too. As you can see I love starting projects and am not the best at finishing.
Curtains:
Thrifted frame into a white board:
I enjoyed modge podgeing news paper to my ghetto frame. I put some white paper behind the glass and voila! A chic new dry erase board.
Block Art:
I have had a lot of fun with these blocks. Last Christmas I made ornaments for our moms and I just finished turning the rest into picture/letter holders.
Memory Quilt:
This is my memories quilt. I started working on it the summer of 2009 after I broke my foot. I finally finished it last summer. I used a twin sized sheet for the back. I really like how it turned out. A thick warm memory blanket.
