Valentines Day Ribbon Wreath

 I have been getting crafty lately so I thought I would share what I have been up to.

Supplies:

a bunch of ribbon

scissors

craft wire

needle nose pliers

needle

brad

I bought craft wire at Jo Anns

I took my pliers from my scrapbooking tool kit that I bought at Archivers and used it to bend the craft wire into a heart shape.

Not too big but not too small either.

I cut up a bunch of coordinating colored ribbon about 3 inches long

I started at the bottom of the heart and while watching a movie I tied them onto the wire.

Once finished I tied one long piece of ribbon to the middle of the heart so it could be hung from a door hanger.

I looped it around and used a heart shaped brad to secure it in place.

I trimmed to make sure all the ribbon looked even.

 

Happy Valentines Day!

A Vintage Suitcase Makeover

So I was visiting my mother-in-law a while back. She lives in an active Senior Living facility in Decatur. Anyway, on my way out the door I passed by this awesome vintage suitcase by the trash. The inside was hideous. But I ripped out the inside, aired it out and bought some gold fabric and decided it would make a great prop!

First you need GOOD scissors, fabric and a hot glue gun (I don't sew) 

 I started with the top. I glued one inside edge and folded the fabric down for a clean edge and pressed it into place

I smoothed out the fabric and repeated on the sides and the on the bottom edge 

 I did the bottom the same way, folding the edges and gluing them in as best as I could

the final product

I did not make it perfect as I am going to mainly use it for newborns and it will be filled with blankets and pillows so I did not need it to be perfect
