Fabric Flowers

I found the tutorial for this here.

Now I just have to say, I did one flower with a raw edge, and one with a clean edge. I really like the raw edge better. Just sayin.

RAW
CLEAN

French Memo Board #2

BEFORE
AFTER
"GASP! I must have one, but how did you make it???"
I'm glad you asked, here are step by step instructions, and pictures too!

1. Go to Walmart and by a frame, throw the glass away.

2. Cut out a piece of cardboard the size of the glass exactly, as well as a piece of batting.

3. Now cut out a piece of fabric about 1 inch bigger than the card board.

5. Take the actual frame and paint it to the color of your liking.
6. Hot glue fabric to the cardboard. (Make sure batting is inbetween) pull fabric tight as you glue. Be patient, you'll want it tight. Should look like this.
7. Make sure you don't spray paint your thumb....or do it doesn't really matter. I'm not a hand model.
8. Take a break from your hard work and enjoy a beverage of your choice.
9. Cut pieces of ribbon about 1/2-1 inch longer than the carboard. Hot glue bottom row first, and let cool completely. Then while gluing the top row, place a dot of glue, lay ribbon down and make sure it's pulled tight. Hold until cooled off. That way the ribbon is tight.

10. Make sure the frame is dry and place "cardboard" in the frame.
There you have it! You've made a french memo board! Way to go!

Head Band


It's not perfect, but I will admit, it's adorable. And easy as pie.
You'll need two 18inch x 2 1/2 inch pieces of fabric. This fabric was remnant! CHEAP!
I sewed pretty ends together on 3 sides, turned it insideout and sew the last end.
You'll need 2 hair ties, looped together, and then make a fold on the end of the fabric with the hair tie, and sew the end. TA DA!

Le Cake

Here are the basic directions...


This was really not that hard. TOTALLY CUTE. I would honestly... lay the cake on it's "back" and just frost it that way. IT WILL TIP OVER. I promise. Also... instead of using whoppers I used milk duds. And instead of using M&M's I used chocolate chips. Let me know how it goes!

Iron on's rock my world.


Self Explanatory! Suuuuuuper easy. And totally cute!
