Pillows

I had something very specific in mind when trying to find pillows for my zebra chairs.  Because of the unique size I knew I was going to have to make them.  I found a pillow for $7.00 at Ross that was the right color.  I essentially just cut the pillow in half, sewed the open ends shut creating 2 pillows, then re-stuffed.

Vinyl Name

I went to the thrift store and picked up frames in different sizes, not worrying if they were a little beat up.    I call that distressed!  Remove the framing points (the metal tabs that hold the picture in).  Paint the frames with spray paint and rough them up a little with sand paper.  Don't go overboard- think about where the wear would actually happen naturally.

You can use the glass that came with the frames or go to a glass shop and get a specialty glass like I did. Mine has little bubbles throughout the glass.  It is cheaper to cut it yourself or you can have them cut it to the sizes you need.  

Put different sizes of letters in different fonts on each piece of glass.  

Use hot glue to glue the glass in place.  Because it is see-through you don't want to see what is holding the glass in, hence the removal of the framing points.  

Hang on the wall.  This is actually the only time I like when the frames are crooked!

A Little Magic

I purchased the vinyl and put it up on the wall but I thought it needed a little something extra. 

 I painted the "magic" as my daughter calls it, by using a stencil.  It is the Disney Princess Paint Stencil from the Home Collection.  I had to do the stars in sections because I didn't want the hearts or flowers.

I purchased metallic silver acrylic paint at the craft store.

 I used scrap-booking rhinestones in the center of a few stars.

My hope is that she will not out grow this.  After all, who doesn't want to believe in the Fairy Tale?

Monogrammed Toilet

I have a small 1/2 Bath off my kitchen that is decorated in Black and White.  I love the monogrammed toilet.  I cut the "M" out of black vinyl on my cricut.  It was so easy but adds a lot!
