One of my Facebook friends had a huge G initial from wood. I did my own with a 3D C cardboard from Hobby Lobby:

Zebra Duct Tape Decor

I love duct tape, especially cute duct tape. I embellished several things for my office. The first I just taped around the clock. Second picture is PVC Pipe with a Drain PVC thingy that it fit on (Home Depot) I will use it for a plant that I have. You can also use it for umbrellas or whatever.

Let your imagination go wild!

PVC pipe!

I cut the PVC pipe down for my spray!

Easy Maxi

Materials:

Fabric (Measure the fabric around you 1 1/2 times or 2 times and have the clerk at the store cut it for you.)

Elastic (Wrap around you pretty tight then cut it. You want it to gather)

Saftey Pin.

Tank Top

Sewing Machine

Procedure:

This HERE is the best tutorial that I could find for the elastic part.

I bought a ton of colored tanks at Wal-Mart on clearance $2.50.

Found some cute material and the rest is history.

All are knit material except the short one, that is all cotton.

Just cut your tank top short mid rib, then after you complete your dress, I use a zig-zag stitch to connect the top to the bottom.

For the hem I just pined and sewed. I don't like ironing so that was out of the question too, LOL.

Quick tutorial for the dress.

Fold good sides together and sew all the way up the side.

Then for the top of the dress fold over about an inch at least wider than your elastic and pin it all the way around, then sew next to the end of the fold making a pocket for your elastic.

Leave an area open for your elastic.

Take the elastic and add a safety pin at the end of it and pull it all the way through. Connect both ends with the safety pin. Then try it on and see if that will work. That way you can always cut more off so that it is not that loose. Once you have the right size sew the elastic together. Then sew the dress band up.

Make sure when you put your tank inside the dress before sewing that you have right sides touching right sides.

Zig zag it all around.

Done!

Styrofoam (I used the green plant stuff)

Burlap Door Hangers

I thought I would try out the burlap door hanging ideas that I have saw on Pinterest and even some on Etsy.

Materials Needed:

Burlap- I bought at a fabric warehouse.

Hot glue gun and sticks

Plastic sacks for stuffing or you could use batting or even newspaper

Paint (opt)

Ribbons and other embellishments.

Procedure:

The hardest part to me was cutting 2 pieces of burlap the same size. It moves around as you are cutting. Might be best to pin it together. I use a sharpie and draw on the burlap the outline that I need my hanger to be in.

When all cut hot glue the edges around. You could sew it or staple it too if you wish. This step is like making a pillow. Leave enough space to stuff it. Stuff it as full as you like.

Glue up the hole when you are done.

Paint it or whatever.

Take your floral wire and poke through below the glue for better securing.

Wrap the ends around your finger to make a spiral. And hang for all to envy!!

Here are pics of ones I have done. I will post step by step direction pictures soon.

And even a flag for outside:

 

Oh and my kitty LOVES burlap!
