Upcycled Organization for Hair Assesories

I bought this organizer at a yard sale for $3. I loved the 50's flower pattern it had on it and that the box itself is metal! I thought it would be great to use for my daughter's hair assessories!

The drawers were all plastic. I cleaned them out and lined all of them with scrapbook paper.

Then, to make the fronts of the drawers look cuter, I hot glued some scrapbook decals on them.

All the drawers done.

It fit her bows perfectly! They are now organized, and we can see what we have each morning when I am doing her hair!!!

DIY Valentine Decoration

When I was using my Cricut to cut out "tags" for my kids' Valentines, I cut two that were way too big for what I needed (they were 10" long). I loved the way they looked though - I really liked the paper and the shape. So, I came up with an idea. My husband cut some scrap wood that was the same shape and size as the "tags" and drilled out holes to correspond with the holes on the paper "tags". I Modge Podged the paper "tags" onto the wood templates. I then tied some ribbon onto the top. They make a perfect Valentine decoration - I hung them on my front door!

Homemade Wreath - Cute and Easy!

I sat down to make something I had seen in a magazine. It didn't work because I had to use wrapping paper and I was trying to do it with scrapbook paper. The scrapbook paper was too strong - it didn't fold like wrapping paper would. So, I started messing around with what I had and I think I came up with a cute little wreath that is simple to make!

You will need: an embroidery hoop (any size), 4 sheets of 12x12 scrapbook paper - (I had a big hoop to work with so you may need fewer pieces of paper if you have a smaller hoop. You can use any color/pattern)

The first thing you need to do is cut your scrapbook paper into strips. You don't need to be precise on this. I just started cutting them into strips without a guide. I got about 10 strips per paper. Then, I cut the strips in half. I folded them over and stuck them between the hoop. I had to keep adjusting the hoop and opening it while I put more paper in it.

I alternated colors/patterns with each paper I placed. I tried to keep the "hoop" as tight as I could while I did this. If I found it hard to put the paper in, I loosened the hoop a little.

I did this around the entire hoop (you can make it as big or small as you need - depending on the size of your hoop). After I had all the paper in place, I tightened the hoop as much as I could and then added a ribbon at the top (see top picture) and hung it on my front door.

I have had so many compliments on this wreath! I hope you have fun doing this wreath. I found it to be so easy and it turned out so cute!
