Winter Tags


It is winter -the days are shorter and the air is getting cooler.
It seems like there are tons of Christmas decor and projects to make, so I decided to make a project just for winter!

snowflake



First, cut the boards from a wood pallet or an old cedar fence.


Next, my handy husband cut the pieces of pallet into tags.  The large tag is about 12 inches high, the medium is about 10 inches high and the small tag is about 8 inches high.  They are all 6 inches wide.




Then, I painted the tags and sanded them a bit to rough them up.



Next, I used my cricut to cut the stencils, but a cricut is not required, any stencil will work for this.  I then painted them and pealed off the stencil.  Lastly I added the rope.  There is a full tutorial HERE on how I make my tags.



There are such a fun project!!

Deer Pillow

It seems like the season is flying by, and I am still trying to get some fun projects done.


Pillow


I have been wanting to do another fun deer project and Oriental Trading sent me some fun products to review and the box included these great burlap pillow covers.

What you will need:
Deer pattern - I just found one on the internet
Burlap Pillow cover - found HERE
Heat n Bond
Plaid fabric




First, iron the Heat n Bond to the fabric.



Next, trace the deer pattern on the paper of the Heat n Bond - make sure that your pattern is inverted, so it will be facing the right way on the pillow.



Then, cut out the deer.



Next, peel off the paper from the Heat n Bond and iron the deer on the right side of the burlap pillow cover and stuff!


Didn't he turn out fun!
