Vinyl Projects~

Over the past couple of months, I've done a couple of vinyl projects for myself or friends that I wanted to share.

 

Wedding Tiles are always popular but I like how these have the first initial instead of the last name that you see all the time. I also like the simplicity of the date...and no 'Est.' in front of it.

Unless you've been living under a rock...you know that SUBWAY art is all the rage these days. Here are a couple of projects I've just recently done.

A good friend of mine is from San Francisco & wanted to surprise her parents with a large sign that had all the places they used to go in SF when they lived there. So she sent me the words & I imported the logos or fonts that matched the place, then put the board together. LOVE the way it turned out!!

Recently, 2 of the ladies who serve in YW with me JUST had babies. They were both 3rd babies so I REALLY wanted to do something special for them but different since they weren't really in NEED of baby stuff. I found the idea of baby subway art on Pinterest & thought it was DARLING!! Here is what I came up with for them.

When I was called as YW Pres, the YW closet had some value boards in there. I liked the idea of having a board with each value but the boards in the closet were old and needed a little face lift. So...to get ready for New Beginnings in January, I re-did all the boards. I'm proud to say that I modge-podged paper to the front of a wood board. I've NEVER MODGE PODGED BEFORE!! SO YAY FOR ME!! Then added the value in white vinyl & a small flower to match. I was really happy with how they turned out!

 

Every Christmas, I decorate my downstairs bathroom in lots of holly berries. I add hand towels, Christmas ribbon, & a Christmas soap dispenser. This year I also added this vinyl to our glass shower door. This vinyl makes it look like the glass has been etched but really its just a large vinyl applique. It is subtle but I think added the perfect final touch to the bathroom. 

  

Happy Crafting Everyone!!

CHEAP Dollar Store Jewelry Organizer!

Maybe I'm the only one!?! I don't know. I've had a jewelry box for years but in the last few years Ive collected costume jewelry, I've had no where to store it with out it getting tangled up into a HUGE mess of necklace. Then I would never wear it often because it wasn't easy to see or coordinate with my outfits.
I was on a hunt for a wall mounted jewelry organizer where all my necklaces, bracelets and rings would be easily displayed and most importantly...NOT TANGLED!!!
As I looked & looked I found some jewelry displays online that I liked and would work BUT they were pretty spendy. I didn't want to pay $75 to display my jewelry. I'd rather spend $75 ON jewelry.

Then I found these accordion hooks at the Dollar Tree. AHHHHH...I LOVE DOLLAR TREE! They were well within my budget of what I wanted to spend. I bought 6 of them. Then I went to Staples and bought a roll of  Command Double Sided tape. I hung them on the back of my sliding closet doors.

I was so happy when it fit ALL my jewelry PERFECTLY!! All my necklaces, bracelets & rings are now on these hooks. So I see all my jewelry displayed as I get dressed in the morning. Let me tell you, that makes all the difference!! I wear jewelry WAY more often now. I kept my earrings in my jewelry box but even that is more functional now that it only houses my earrings and all the other clutter is gone.

I know, I know, they are NOT as cute as some of the adorable jewelry hangers you see on Pinterest or Etsy. BUT it is functional and it was cheap!! With the accordion hooks and the tape the total cost was about $12!! SCREAMING DEAL!! AND I love it!!!

Measuring Up!

Apparently these ADORABLE Ruler Growth Charts are all over the web aand have been sold by Pottery Barn. But I JUST discovered them!!!

The minute I saw them, I wanted one. I told my hubby to buy me one off of ETSY for my Mother's Day Gift. By coinsidence, after Idiscovered them, a couple friends of mine happen to be making these for our monthly church craft group. Talk about good timing!!! Soooo I bought the wood from them for $10 (wood measures 6' x 12"). I then stained the wood myself to look as much like a real ruler as I could. I cut & applied my own vinyl to fit it...again to look most like a ruler.

It was a pretty easy craft project. Only took a couple hours total.

My hubby hung it up for me on Mothers Day Weekend and I just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the way it turned out!!!

All I need to do now is actually measure my kids. :)
