Lamp Makeover

THURSDAY:  Yeah!  Another Creation!

I grew up with two lamps on top of my piano.  When I got married, my mom gave them to me.  They became our bedside table lamps.  This is what they looked like in their first makeover to fit my Americana room.

Time for a second makeover.

I love spray paint!

Check this site to see how I made over this lamp.

New lamp shade redo.

I glued burlap over the shade and added ribbon to the bottom.

HIS Lamp

My hubby is pretty laid back, so when he cringed at the rosettes adorning his shade, I quickly took them off and added them to mine.

He went to bed happy.

Whew!

HER Lamp

So chic tucked into my corner of the room.

Burlap Message Board

Monday:  Yeah!  A Creation!

Our family message board.

I picked up this nice frame at the thrift store for 5 bucks.  $5 is usually more than what I spend on a frame - I think I was paying for the picture - I liked the size so I bought it anyways.

I spray painted it black.

I printed a big J off my computer and taped it to burlap that was cut to fit the frame.

Hot glued it to the back of the board.

It's missing something....hmmm...

How about some layered paper flowers?

That's better!

Now for some 'J' news on glass with a dry erase marker.

I love frames!

I got the memo board idea from The Tidy Nest.

The paper flower idea come from Inspiring Creations.

Thanks for the ideas ladies!

No-Sew Burlap Bunnies and Flowers

Thursday:  Yeah!  Another Creation!

I about fell over when I saw these bunnies on Oopsey Daisy (with a tutorial) last week.

I had to make them!

I waited a week because I didn't want to get my sewing machine out to make them.  

Then I remembered the glue gun!

Hallelujah!

(me dancing)

I followed Oopsey Daisy's tutorial (thanks) and used the glue gun where she said to sew.  Instead of stuffing the bunnies with beans, I stuffed them with stuffing - ha ha.

Then I used a sharpie to color the eyes and nose and a crayon for the ears and cheeks.

So easy and oh so cute!

Baby's hair bow.

They are so cute in their little homes (cans).

I love the flower bow. 

Here's a small tutorial on these no-sew burlap flowers.

Steps...

1. I made a lopsided cloud to use as my pattern and cut out four scraps.

2.  Put a dot of hot glue in the center and fold over (top left).

3.  Put another dot in the new center and fold over again (top right).

4.  Glue it onto a felt circle (I used paper here and then switched to felt).

5.  Continue with the other three scraps until you have a flower (top right).

6.  Make a smaller lopsided pattern for your pretty fabric and follow steps 1-5 (bottom).

7. Glue the pretty fabric on top of the burlap flower and add a button.

How cute is that!

I got a little carried away and made lots of hair flowers.  

I just glued hair clips onto the back of them.

Even my teenage daughter swiped one for herself on the way to school.

Happy Bunny Family

They're rockin' on top of my antique radio.

I am in love....
