Monday Made It

Today I'm linking up with

This was so easy.  I just bought a frame and upholstery fabric from the craft store.  Then I just measured, cut, and framed.  All I need to do is add a clip (so I don't have to open the frame each time I want to switch the pic) and I'm done!

{How to}

I have to admit that I didn't make these.  I bought them at the craft store and added the clothespin, but afterwards thought these would be totally easy to make.  I found a tutorial to share with you.  I'm going to make some of my own using different colors once I figure out my color scheme for the coming school year. 

Just click on the photos below to see a tutorial from The Handmade Home

{In the works} 

Here is a pic of some of the projects I've started and haven't finished.  Yes, I do that! I found eggshell white at Lowes yesterday.  It as only $5!  SO...here's my little secret...sometimes people buy paint and then bring it back when it's not exactly the right shade for their project and then it's way discounted...and I'm super happy!  I fell in love with this color and am going to use it to paint my home office/craft room.  {I want my home office to look something like this-from The Idea Room}

 

I  didn't love this 4th of July frame when I saw it n the store, but it was like 80% off last year, so I just HAD to buy it knowing I'd have to work on it.  So I'm going to paint it and add fabric.  H'ere's another little secret...the craft stores bundle extra fabric that they can't sell by the yard and discount it a whole bunch, too (I got the upholstery in the photo above for less than $3!). Goodness,  I'm giving all my secrets away today!

I started the display for necklaces at one of our craft days at church.  A friend of mine really like the knobs I had, so I gave them to her and went back to the craft store to buy more.  Of course, I don't have a drill, so it's been sitting in my laundry room.  My mom was just bragging about her new drill the other day, so I've decided to drive to my mom's house today to make sure it works! ;)  

I'll post pics when they're all done.
