{Drab to Fab}

I found this cute little jewelry box at the DI for 1 buck!! Love a good deal!!! So I took this baby home and did a nice sanding job and painted it all black. We distressed it up and then added some cute little vinyl flowers to the top. Sis loves it and she now has a place for all of her little bracelets and necklaces :) Love finding drab things and turning them into fabulous creations!!! :)

Flower Bow...

These are my favorite bows out of any of the kinds of bows I have made...they are easy and soo cute and you can combine so many different ribbons!! Here is how you do it!

Item's Needed:

For this bow:

4 different colors or patterened ribbon

1- large button

Hot glue gun

Scissors

Step 1: Take your ribbons...Cut the one you want on the bottom longest, then get a little shorter until you get to the fourth one. You will need 3 of the two longest, then 2 of the 3rd shortest and 1 of the shortest if that makes sense!!! :) Pictured below:

Step 2: Take one of the pieces of the longest ribbon. Fold in one end to the middle and glue, do the same with the other end. It will look like this:

Step 3: Do that to all 3 pieces and then glue them together like so:

Step 4: Take your next layer of ribbons (3 of them) and glue them the same way.

Step 5: Glue them together like so:

Step 6: Glue your layers together

Step 7: Do the same with your third layer (2 pieces)(black in this photo) and then make a figure eight with the top piece and glue all the layers together.

Step 8: Glue a large button that matches to the top. I made a set! Also glue an alligator clip to the back of your cute bow and ENJOY!!:)

Step 9: Get busy cutting ribbon and make a bunch! Here is what I did in one sitting! They are so fun :) One piece of advice that helped me to get down faster was to cut all the ribbon first and then sit and glue them!! :)

White Letters for your childs name

Coordinating Scrapbook paper

Mod Podge

Paint Brush

Glue

Sanding Block

Razor Blade

Embellishments

Step 1: Take each of your letters, lay them face down on the backside of your scrapbooking paper and trace them.
Step 2: Cut all of them out.

Step 3: Do a thin layer of Mod Podge on your wooden letter and lay your paper onto the letter...press it firmly to make sure there are no air bubbles!

Step 4: Let all of them dry really well!!

Step 5: Mine weren't perfect and had to be trimmed up around the edges...so I used a Razor Blade to do so...

Step 6: Sand the edges of your block and paper to make them blend better...it also leaves a little white edge around it and is soo cute! Also if you wanted to distress them..now is the time to do it!

All sanded and ready to embellishStep 7: Do a layer of Mod podge over top every of your letters to secure the paper on

Step 8: Embellish them as you wish...buttons ribbon, and paper flowers (My new love!) (tutorial soon to show you how to make these babies)

Every letter can be the same or different...

Let them all dry very well and Enjoy!!! :)

I can't help but smile everytime I look at them they are perfect for her room!!! :)
