Hair Accessory Tutorial

The best thing about this Hair Accessory Holder is that is is super cute and only took about ten minutes!

I picked up a burlap wrapped canvas board at Walmart in the Art section for about $4.  You could also replace the fabric on  a regular canvas board.

 Decided how many rows you want to make sure they fit.  Don't limit yourself to just one or two kinds of ribbon like me, get creative!

 Measure & mark for ribbon placement.  A glue gun works great, but it will depend on your material i.e. fabric or wood.  Could also use flat push pins or nails.

 These little hooks are so simple to use that after the initial push in my 6 year old daughter finished them up.  Found in the hardware store at Walmart.  We don't have much more available to us when it comes to supply outlets.

Lastly is to fasten a ribbon on it for hanging.  I tied the Ribbon first and them tied the ends onto nails.

Fridge Frames

Items needed: magnets, decor paper or scrapbook paper, foam board, glue, paint.

These are super cute and really easy. Simply cut out your desired frame shape and apply chosen paper covering, fold paper to cover inside edge and paint outside edges. You are free to emelish as your heart desires. To finish apply magnet to back of frame.

Recipe Book Cover

Items needed: Binder (either recipe or paper $2-5), fabric (may draw from my collection), plastic cover available in the sewing area at walmart.

This will take you back to the good old school days when you had to cover your text books. It's pretty much the same technique only it's covered with fabric and whatever embilishes you wish, and then a protective plastic cover.
