This evening upon returning home from a bittersweet drop off…I was approached by my wonderful husband in our bedroom with a gift card to Starbucks, my laptop and an order, “Get out and go write a blog. Now!” My first thought was, “but I will not get to tuck my babies in; they will be in bed by the time I get back.” But I knew he put a lot of thought into this and I knew I had to hurry out the door. That being said, I thought I’d share a few things today and promise I will be doing this more often! I have so many projects to share that I just never had the time to write about and share.
First, I have a couple of self-explanatory pictures to share. This was our big Fourth of July project this year…
Patriotic shorts: this was so fun and literally took me 10 min. I already had the cut offs & brushes – just went and got the puff fabric paint!
Second project is a picture of a shirt we made for all of us. Its just a hand print and some stripes I made with my finger.
The third project is an idea I came up with just being on a secret coupon Facebook page! One of my very best friends is getting married soon and, of course, on a budget. Since I am her Maid of Honor I too am doing a lot of work to help think of ways to save, save, save. So I came across a post that Target had a great deal on photo prints, which combined with a money-saving coupon, we ended up getting 200 prints free and came up with 200 really cool Save the Dates for $0!!! Finding a good deal like this can save anyone in a pinch ie; Announcements, save the dates, Christmas cards, and even invitations.
I think its time to wrap this up for today’s blog as Starbucks will be closing very soon and I can’t lie – I am ready to be home so I can cuddle with my amazing man!
I hope to be doing this every other week or so – so come back!!
Ok, first I used a black V neck T. I just used a piece of white chalk and free handed some wings then I used my hair cutting scissors to cute them out. I tried using some small sewing scissors but it was taking forever! After I drew some wings and cut them out I washed the T & it was ready to wear. On a side note, the gal that originally did this tutorial said she sewed the edges of the holes she cut but I didn’t do that because I liked the raw homemade look.
I’ve made two so far. The grey one was a little more tricky- yet just as easy. The mouth was the trickiest. I had to practice on some scrap fabric to make sure I did it right on the shirt. I will be doing a white shirt with a dream catcher on a video tutorial for next weeks blog! So please come back and watch how easy, fun and also rewarding this project is!
I found a fun new project that was doable, so I thought I’d share!
