I will be showing some things that I have made at home with things around the house, or from DI, or that I got from Garage sales or just given to me on this post. I saved tons of money by doing these things at home and I am currently working on 4 more projects, rocking chair pad cover, dresser, baby fun ball, okay just 3. I know there will be more later, but enjoy these ones so far:
Baby bib (from towels): I had a very old beach towel that I wanted to keep and use for something, so I looked and thought hard about what I could use the towel for and whalaw a fun bib. I just made up a pattern and found another old black towel and cut and sewed two towels together and made a bib.
Felt blocks: I have been wanting to make these for Zoie to play with and build with. I can not remember where I saw them, but I loved them and they looked so easy so I just went and picked up some felt and started to be creative with the alphabet and I think I came up with some pretty cute little blocks.
DIY Photo canvas (from wood): I LOVE these so much. I spent about 3.00 on both of these (making prints). I found old wood, cut sanded and painted then modged podge the picture on and Love how it turned out. So cheap and so cute.
Rocking Chair: I was at DI (love to go there) and found this old rustic rocking chair, and I was thinking, "This would be sweet in Zoie's room if I just prepared, repaired and painted it." So I did and I love it. I am working on the seat cover as we speak so that will be on here soon.
Dresser: I was given this old ugly thing from Rashago's sis and bro in law and I said " Hey Zoie needs a dresser so I am going to paint it white for her room". so I did and I am actually really happy how it turned out.
Painted pitcher: I had a white pitcher that needed some color, so I just added some spray paint to add a little fun to my kitchen.
Fabric Wall hanging: I was being one of the million people that look on pinterest and saw this idea so I told myself "that is way easy and cheap, I can do that and put it in Zoie's room for some color" So I went to the fabric store and picked out about 5 different patterns and 2 stirofoam pieces and cut random size rectangles and squares and wrapped them with different material (just like wrapping a present). It turned out perfect for Zoie's room.
Family Letter: I wanted to get a "K" for our wall and put pictures around it, but I didn't want to spend a lot of money, plus I wanted to make it different from what you would find in the stores. I wanted it thin enough to hang on a wall, but thick enough to stand out. So I went to Michael's and saw a black "K" and said perfect. then I went and picked out some paper and cut and modged podged and ended up with this very cute "K".
Pillow Case Dress: I had some old material and I thought it would make a cute dress, so I cut a pattern and started to sew not relizing how hard it actually is to sew armpit curves. I had to ask my grandma how to do it. Thank goodness for Grandmas. It looks so cute on Zoie.
I know I have some without pictures but I will take and post them soon.
