I wanted to do something fun for Easter this year and I have seen all the fun Farmhouse style signs, and wanted to try one myself.</div>

I didn't get a picture of my husband cutting the wood - I guess I was in a hurry to start the the project :). We cut a piece of MDF to the size I wanted the sign, and then cut the the trim pieces for the frame. Then, I stained the frame with some wood stain that we had in the garage. I like to use a cloth to apply it.</div>

I then cut the letter out of vinyl using my cricut, and free handed a bunny. I then put the vinyl on the wood and used it as a stencil. For the bunny used some graphite paper and traced it onto the wood.</div>

I then painted the letters and the bunny, and pulled up the vinyl.<br />

<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
I started out with some misc. wood pieces, candle sticks and finials.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/--Lvl9lunbEo/WQUGz74mqkI/AAAAAAAAB98/K1WsR-KVdYQinlugnmmhPVU9eMu-YxkmQCLcB/s1600/DSC00228.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/--Lvl9lunbEo/WQUGz74mqkI/AAAAAAAAB98/K1WsR-KVdYQinlugnmmhPVU9eMu-YxkmQCLcB/s400/DSC00228.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
I nailed and glued them together.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ccs4KjlC3DY/WQUHJWvacuI/AAAAAAAAB-A/FOuDA3TDRd8uTGdnAeASM9oX514MIEo2ACLcB/s1600/DSC00275.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ccs4KjlC3DY/WQUHJWvacuI/AAAAAAAAB-A/FOuDA3TDRd8uTGdnAeASM9oX514MIEo2ACLcB/s400/DSC00275.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next, I painted them with silver and black and paint.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Then, I painted over them with a warm white color and sanded them here and there to antique them.<br />
<br />

<br />
I started out with a cabinet door, some wood medallions and a couple of round medallions.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rX0jCxY67lM/WQUHm0Dy-rI/AAAAAAAAB-I/21aQq55hQMgn9JDQua7yeGZI_ThdvlACQCLcB/s1600/DSC00229.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rX0jCxY67lM/WQUHm0Dy-rI/AAAAAAAAB-I/21aQq55hQMgn9JDQua7yeGZI_ThdvlACQCLcB/s400/DSC00229.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I glued the wood medallion to the cabinet door.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Withe the medallion pieces I painted them separately.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I painted them a silvery gray color to start.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
After they that dried, I painted over it with an Heirloom white color<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I then sanded the pieces some to antique it a bit. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The gray silver color starts to show through.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6kIXPUXVvHI/WQUKjwzrj5I/AAAAAAAAB-k/PbTFVFLjiQ8tz1bIKMh82ztBnzbMmtd-QCLcB/s1600/034%2B%25288%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6kIXPUXVvHI/WQUKjwzrj5I/AAAAAAAAB-k/PbTFVFLjiQ8tz1bIKMh82ztBnzbMmtd-QCLcB/s400/034%2B%25288%2529.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>

<span style="text-align: start;">My daughter had her birthday this weekend, and we have a family tradition of having a pinata at the party, so this year I made her a shopkins pinata!</span></div>

<span style="text-align: start;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: start;">I started out with some oatmeal containers and some cardboard. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
I couldn't find the right size container for the bottom layers, so I made it out of cardboard. I cut out 2 circles and cut some other cardboard to fit around it.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;">Next, I glued all the parts together and taped the lipstick part to the top of the container.</span></div>

Now it is time to mix the paper mache paste.</div>

<br /></div>
This is what you will need:<br />
Flour<br />
Water<br />
Cinnamon (optional)<br />
<br />
<br />
Mix the water and flour together in a 2 to 1 ratio. For example, mix 1 cup flour with 2 cups water. I use warm water because I like it better. I also add a little bit of cinnamon to the mix. I do not like the smell of the water and flour mix - cinnamon makes is so much more pleasant!<br />
I use my cheap project mixer to mix the lumps out.<br />

Now for the fun part - goooooooey paper mache.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
First take some newspaper and rip it into 2 - 3 inch strips.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Q4srkGFiuhc/VcWGbJ2SB3I/AAAAAAAABBc/noY-SEG52gU/s1600/011.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Q4srkGFiuhc/VcWGbJ2SB3I/AAAAAAAABBc/noY-SEG52gU/s400/011.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next, dip the newspaper strips in the paste and run it through your fingers to get most of the excess paste off.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rcphNZS7O6c/VcWI0eH4BOI/AAAAAAAABCI/JJL-iGUlMwE/s1600/paste.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rcphNZS7O6c/VcWI0eH4BOI/AAAAAAAABCI/JJL-iGUlMwE/s400/paste.jpg" width="360" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Then lay the paper strips on the pinata.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I usually do 2 to 3 layers of newspaper and then add another layer of paper that is the same color you want the pinata.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "times new roman"; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "times new roman"; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Then, paint the pinata. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "times new roman"; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "times new roman"; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "times new roman"; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; text-align: start;">Next, cut 3/4 inch slits about 1/2 inch apart on a streamer. Then, wrap the streamer around the pinata and glue it down.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "times new roman"; text-align: center;">

I started out with a plain unfinished cabinet door.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I glued on a wood embellishment and painted the whole project silver/gray.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I wanted to make some fun decor, but I wanted something a little different than red, white & blue, so I had some fun and came up with this fun project!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-A_llrXQEQzg/WTmvcINwWuI/AAAAAAAAB_Q/BBZnKqMlII4h3Y4JwU_YkcyAOxF9bi6dQCLcB/s1600/Independence%2BHall.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Independence" border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-A_llrXQEQzg/WTmvcINwWuI/AAAAAAAAB_Q/BBZnKqMlII4h3Y4JwU_YkcyAOxF9bi6dQCLcB/s640/Independence%2BHall.png" title="4th of July" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
I started out with an old cabinet door if found at a thrift store. I painted it red and antiqued it a bit.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0a71lAHTZDU/WTngkj-BSFI/AAAAAAAAB_g/F0X9mon41L8c16zCg9oJ0X9p4rLtsmBwACLcB/s1600/DSC00893.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0a71lAHTZDU/WTngkj-BSFI/AAAAAAAAB_g/F0X9mon41L8c16zCg9oJ0X9p4rLtsmBwACLcB/s400/DSC00893.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next, I cut out a piece of vinyl chalkboard the size I needed and put it on the cabinet door.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then I round a design I wanted to use and enlarged the image. I have a tutorial <a href="http://www.muchmorecreative.net/2015/04/vintage-moms.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> on how I make my chalkboard art if you are interested.</div>

My twin boys wanted a nerf party for their birthday this year, and we have a tradition of having a pinata as part of the celebration, so I got busy and made one.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--r6JyouYgsE/WQkrAX4abII/AAAAAAAAB-8/0qsM1cGFypskpco_83QAVeikXL9RUZp6wCLcB/s1600/Nerf%2BPinata.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Nerf" border="0" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--r6JyouYgsE/WQkrAX4abII/AAAAAAAAB-8/0qsM1cGFypskpco_83QAVeikXL9RUZp6wCLcB/s640/Nerf%2BPinata.jpg" title="Nerf Pinata" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I started out with a circle pattern that I traced twice on a heavy piece of cardboard and cut out. You can used whatever design you want.<br />
<br />
Then cut some 3 inch strips of cardboard that will be used to go around the pattern<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-W9g3Xh0TRyQ/VcWEF-maoiI/AAAAAAAABA4/oAcOwuIUzMA/s1600/007.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-W9g3Xh0TRyQ/VcWEF-maoiI/AAAAAAAABA4/oAcOwuIUzMA/s400/007.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;">Next, glue the cardboard strips around the outside of the pattern, leaving a 2 - 3 inch gap in the perimeter so you have a place to put in the candy!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SXZDzDtuv9Q/V-dRjUzv7mI/AAAAAAAAB1U/WTxHuhs84c0Uwqm_wcFZi5RoIcYieUb4gCLcB/s1600/DSC00173.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SXZDzDtuv9Q/V-dRjUzv7mI/AAAAAAAAB1U/WTxHuhs84c0Uwqm_wcFZi5RoIcYieUb4gCLcB/s400/DSC00173.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;">Use part of one of the cardboard strips to make a circle, triangle, or whatever shape you want. You are going to glue this in the middle of the inside of the cardboard shape. This makes the pinata sturdy, so when you add the wet paper mache, the pinata will not become concave when it drys.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Now it is time to mix the paper mache paste.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NWg4pAyZBb4/VcWG2GWRVOI/AAAAAAAABBk/QpLqEHn082g/s1600/014.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NWg4pAyZBb4/VcWG2GWRVOI/AAAAAAAABBk/QpLqEHn082g/s400/014.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
This is what you will need:<br />
Flour<br />
Water<br />
Cinnamon (optional)<br />
<br />
<br />
Mix the water and flour together in a 2 to 1 ratio. For example, mix 1 cup flour with 2 cups water. I use warm water because I like it better. I also add a little bit of cinnamon to the mix. I do not like the smell of the water and flour mix - cinnamon makes is so much more pleasant!<br />
I use my cheap project mixer to mix the lumps out.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Now for the fun part - goooooooey paper mache.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
First take some newspaper and rip it into 2 - 3 inch strips.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Q4srkGFiuhc/VcWGbJ2SB3I/AAAAAAAABBc/noY-SEG52gU/s1600/011.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Q4srkGFiuhc/VcWGbJ2SB3I/AAAAAAAABBc/noY-SEG52gU/s400/011.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next, dip the newspaper strips in the paste and run it through your fingers to get most of the excess paste off.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rcphNZS7O6c/VcWI0eH4BOI/AAAAAAAABCI/JJL-iGUlMwE/s1600/paste.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rcphNZS7O6c/VcWI0eH4BOI/AAAAAAAABCI/JJL-iGUlMwE/s400/paste.jpg" width="360" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Then lay the paper strips on the pinata.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Hy56EwaEYAM/V-dSAIKBn1I/AAAAAAAAB1c/AOcm5zyPWacq0Q9s-H76BNKWOQs7JwPWgCLcB/s1600/DSC00177.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Hy56EwaEYAM/V-dSAIKBn1I/AAAAAAAAB1c/AOcm5zyPWacq0Q9s-H76BNKWOQs7JwPWgCLcB/s400/DSC00177.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I usually do 2 to 3 layers of newspaper and then add another layer of paper that is the same color you want the pinata.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here is a picture of the frames after I bought them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SfnqGNrUV4s/WIbMdjCe5JI/AAAAAAAAB5E/5ald2EkYaHcqv332W_GLmWT86gBEtt5HgCLcB/s1600/DSC00285.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SfnqGNrUV4s/WIbMdjCe5JI/AAAAAAAAB5E/5ald2EkYaHcqv332W_GLmWT86gBEtt5HgCLcB/s400/DSC00285.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I started out by painting them in Heirloom white.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bopNdyOGdAE/WQTuH5MTDkI/AAAAAAAAB8w/oWdhWBEN3hs-bfcXKlhER7SCzH2w5gg8wCLcB/s1600/Herlium%2Bwhite.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bopNdyOGdAE/WQTuH5MTDkI/AAAAAAAAB8w/oWdhWBEN3hs-bfcXKlhER7SCzH2w5gg8wCLcB/s400/Herlium%2Bwhite.jpg" width="218" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After I painted them, I antiqued them a little by sanding them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img height="207" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JfqiknSVUYo/WLjqwUJoQ8I/AAAAAAAAB7Q/EOJGSaDDLYI64mSZXkd6LFlBcq0sut0pQCLcB/s400/Sand.jpg" width="400" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I really like how the frames turned out, but now onto the wreaths.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I started out with a pool noodle that I had purchased from the Dollar Store and a small piece of poster board.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7bIK090v_Tg/WQTuXP6eZFI/AAAAAAAAB80/buxS2rJrpnIh6As7p4iD8anR9_dfg2OWwCLcB/s1600/DSC00491.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7bIK090v_Tg/WQTuXP6eZFI/AAAAAAAAB80/buxS2rJrpnIh6As7p4iD8anR9_dfg2OWwCLcB/s400/DSC00491.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next, I rolled the poster board up, and glued one end of it into one end of the pool noodle.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bu5t3SSFWmI/WQTuji4qRLI/AAAAAAAAB84/PCv8nqsFCIUzd-HOjjIUdke5SBJGrFQ2QCLcB/s1600/DSC00492.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bu5t3SSFWmI/WQTuji4qRLI/AAAAAAAAB84/PCv8nqsFCIUzd-HOjjIUdke5SBJGrFQ2QCLcB/s400/DSC00492.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then, I glued the other end of the poster board in the other end of the pool noodle.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also put some clear tape over the seam to reinforce it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VmWvYAQv6xU/WQTutj907DI/AAAAAAAAB88/8OjxOWtvn7caO77P-D8QYSk_bqR7xFCEACLcB/s1600/DSC00494.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VmWvYAQv6xU/WQTutj907DI/AAAAAAAAB88/8OjxOWtvn7caO77P-D8QYSk_bqR7xFCEACLcB/s400/DSC00494.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next, wound some green rustic ribbon around the wreath and added some pretty flowers. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oPupryRGwVQ/WQTu3ADEwyI/AAAAAAAAB9A/a9Nyn8vqlMc6LGOxQTkqVXcXOaEvJRRoACLcB/s1600/DSC00495.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Rustic Wreath" border="0" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oPupryRGwVQ/WQTu3ADEwyI/AAAAAAAAB9A/a9Nyn8vqlMc6LGOxQTkqVXcXOaEvJRRoACLcB/s400/DSC00495.JPG" title="Rustic Frame" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To finish the frame, I measured the poster that was inside the frame and cut some weather wood paper the same size and stapled the paper in the frame and added the wreath.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have been wanting to make a new fun Easter/Spring tablescape.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ER6TlX_f03A/WOFoO6VWAXI/AAAAAAAAB8E/MsALtwQKJdoCiI66VCac2cFkhd7sJpwSwCLcB/s1600/Spring%2BTablescape.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ER6TlX_f03A/WOFoO6VWAXI/AAAAAAAAB8E/MsALtwQKJdoCiI66VCac2cFkhd7sJpwSwCLcB/s640/Spring%2BTablescape.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I started out with various candle sticks, cloche, and wood pieces.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KKanpAjvewo/WLjn-p8W-jI/AAAAAAAAB7A/fDdPXAzoMfY5BO4L5dzFSOjsHAkfloKPwCLcB/s1600/010%2B%252817%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KKanpAjvewo/WLjn-p8W-jI/AAAAAAAAB7A/fDdPXAzoMfY5BO4L5dzFSOjsHAkfloKPwCLcB/s400/010%2B%252817%2529.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I then used by favorite primer - Zinsser cover stain . I decided I wanted them white, so I added a few coats of the primer and didn't add any other paint.</div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0vFMGIsdHjA/WLjqo19XrzI/AAAAAAAAB7M/YE1rBloBhmEdXe0lA6qlADd6l8x1VHf3wCLcB/s1600/Zinsser.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0vFMGIsdHjA/WLjqo19XrzI/AAAAAAAAB7M/YE1rBloBhmEdXe0lA6qlADd6l8x1VHf3wCLcB/s400/Zinsser.jpg" width="181" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After the paint dried, I sanded the pedestal a bit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Lastly I put in nests, eggs, bird, & butterfly.<br />
<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-harp-maSbc4/WM3IKELRewI/AAAAAAAAB7k/xVKjjFj4mEQ3mpDYQAPT5kGcwjepyStfgCLcB/s1600/Rabbit%2BPinata.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Easter Pinata" border="0" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-harp-maSbc4/WM3IKELRewI/AAAAAAAAB7k/xVKjjFj4mEQ3mpDYQAPT5kGcwjepyStfgCLcB/s640/Rabbit%2BPinata.jpg" title="Bunny Pinata" width="516" /></a></div>
<br />
I started out with a small bunny pattern that I enlarged on a copier to the size that I wanted the pinata to be.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
Then I traced the pattern twice on a heavy piece of cardboard and cut out the cardboard patterns.<br />
<div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gV76OLBb8JA/V-dRXQvVEBI/AAAAAAAAB1Q/H6qPGeqloNkHwo-jL4iIEK1Pr8aAybUQwCLcB/s1600/DSC00162.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gV76OLBb8JA/V-dRXQvVEBI/AAAAAAAAB1Q/H6qPGeqloNkHwo-jL4iIEK1Pr8aAybUQwCLcB/s400/DSC00162.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Then cut some 3 inch strips of cardboard that will be used to go around the pattern<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-W9g3Xh0TRyQ/VcWEF-maoiI/AAAAAAAABA4/oAcOwuIUzMA/s1600/007.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-W9g3Xh0TRyQ/VcWEF-maoiI/AAAAAAAABA4/oAcOwuIUzMA/s400/007.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;">Next, I glued the cardboard strips around the outside of the pattern, leaving a 2 - 3 inch gap in the perimeter so you have a place to put in the candy!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SXZDzDtuv9Q/V-dRjUzv7mI/AAAAAAAAB1U/WTxHuhs84c0Uwqm_wcFZi5RoIcYieUb4gCLcB/s1600/DSC00173.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SXZDzDtuv9Q/V-dRjUzv7mI/AAAAAAAAB1U/WTxHuhs84c0Uwqm_wcFZi5RoIcYieUb4gCLcB/s400/DSC00173.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;">Use part of one of the cardboard strips to make a circle, triangle, or whatever shape you want. You are going to glue this in the middle of the inside of the cardboard shape. This makes the pinata sturdy, so when you add the wet paper mache, the pinata will not become concave when it drys.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Acn3t9kiRMc/V-dRuospYJI/AAAAAAAAB1Y/fXIY4qQY5ckmxTwcjIn5wxhuEZSETj8pwCLcB/s1600/DSC00172.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Acn3t9kiRMc/V-dRuospYJI/AAAAAAAAB1Y/fXIY4qQY5ckmxTwcjIn5wxhuEZSETj8pwCLcB/s400/DSC00172.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Now it is time to mix the paper mache paste.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NWg4pAyZBb4/VcWG2GWRVOI/AAAAAAAABBk/QpLqEHn082g/s1600/014.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NWg4pAyZBb4/VcWG2GWRVOI/AAAAAAAABBk/QpLqEHn082g/s400/014.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
This is what you will need:<br />
Flour<br />
Water<br />
Cinnamon (optional)<br />
<br />
<br />
Mix the water and flour together in a 2 to 1 ratio. For example, mix 1 cup flour with 2 cups water. I use warm water because I like it better. I also add a little bit of cinnamon to the mix. I do not like the smell of the water and flour mix - cinnamon makes is so much more pleasant!<br />
I use my cheap project mixer to mix the lumps out.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-baioKLDrSR0/VcWHyNucsWI/AAAAAAAABB0/dhx66hwKGKo/s1600/015.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-baioKLDrSR0/VcWHyNucsWI/AAAAAAAABB0/dhx66hwKGKo/s400/015.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Now for the fun part - goooooooey paper mache.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
First take some newspaper and rip it into 2 - 3 inch strips.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Q4srkGFiuhc/VcWGbJ2SB3I/AAAAAAAABBc/noY-SEG52gU/s1600/011.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Q4srkGFiuhc/VcWGbJ2SB3I/AAAAAAAABBc/noY-SEG52gU/s400/011.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next, dip the newspaper strips in the paste and run it through your fingers to get most of the excess paste off.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rcphNZS7O6c/VcWI0eH4BOI/AAAAAAAABCI/JJL-iGUlMwE/s1600/paste.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rcphNZS7O6c/VcWI0eH4BOI/AAAAAAAABCI/JJL-iGUlMwE/s400/paste.jpg" width="360" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Then lay the paper strips on the pinata.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Hy56EwaEYAM/V-dSAIKBn1I/AAAAAAAAB1c/AOcm5zyPWacq0Q9s-H76BNKWOQs7JwPWgCLcB/s1600/DSC00177.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Hy56EwaEYAM/V-dSAIKBn1I/AAAAAAAAB1c/AOcm5zyPWacq0Q9s-H76BNKWOQs7JwPWgCLcB/s400/DSC00177.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I usually do 2 to 3 layers of newspaper and then add another layer of paper that is the same color you want the pinata.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Uha78LLXqfY/V-dST2xvmvI/AAAAAAAAB1g/BVlTkLofUZ0hWjhjAOKewO97_V0VlCM9QCLcB/s1600/DSC00199.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Uha78LLXqfY/V-dST2xvmvI/AAAAAAAAB1g/BVlTkLofUZ0hWjhjAOKewO97_V0VlCM9QCLcB/s400/DSC00199.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Then, paint the pinata. (This happens to be a hello kitty pinata I made)</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-70_NcKrBrGs/VcWKq3ndj9I/AAAAAAAABC0/cHbdxCAJEM0/s1600/005.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-70_NcKrBrGs/VcWKq3ndj9I/AAAAAAAABC0/cHbdxCAJEM0/s400/005.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Next, cut 3/4 inch slits about 1/2 inch apart on a streamer. Then, wrap the streamer around the pinata and glue it down.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-okbJ6d0vf98/VcWLMsXaoMI/AAAAAAAABDE/vGZfw9gIpBk/s1600/006.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-okbJ6d0vf98/VcWLMsXaoMI/AAAAAAAABDE/vGZfw9gIpBk/s400/006.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Next, cut the eyes out and hot glue them to the pinata.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SeU_XO7_hUM/VcWMeWKx8HI/AAAAAAAABDU/MquQDyO32tw/s1600/eyes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="276" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SeU_XO7_hUM/VcWMeWKx8HI/AAAAAAAABDU/MquQDyO32tw/s400/eyes.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
Lastly, add a ribbon and you are done!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I can't believe it is already March! I had to make fun Shamrock for St. Patrick's Day!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YMTyyij81uQ/WLjfkC3cmxI/AAAAAAAAB6g/Y1IC8X-Iis4JluOi3I8Zd_WahtfnwLvegCLcB/s1600/Shamrock.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YMTyyij81uQ/WLjfkC3cmxI/AAAAAAAAB6g/Y1IC8X-Iis4JluOi3I8Zd_WahtfnwLvegCLcB/s640/Shamrock.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I started out with a wood shamrock that I pick up last year. I already had some fun scrapbook paper, so it was a quick, easy and inexpensive project!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CZcrotA-JLw/WLjfvgrVphI/AAAAAAAAB6k/jzIyJNSnv7QTQURrcebJ2AQnG33CxzOcwCLcB/s1600/DSC00675.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CZcrotA-JLw/WLjfvgrVphI/AAAAAAAAB6k/jzIyJNSnv7QTQURrcebJ2AQnG33CxzOcwCLcB/s400/DSC00675.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I took off the jute hanger so I could trace and cut the paper to the shapes of the shamrock. Then, I trimmed 1/8" off the straight side of the shapes, so that you could see the separation in the wood. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I used modge podge to glue the scrapbook paper down and replace the jute hanger.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Quick and easy!!</div>

<br />
<br />
What you will need:<br />
A container<br />
Spray Paint - I used the zinsser primer<br />
Paint for a hightlight<br />
Sand Paper<br />
Brush<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KKJVoLHWQ3M/VUa3H9eVZuI/AAAAAAAAAlE/PMOWEgrlDjo/s1600/001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KKJVoLHWQ3M/VUa3H9eVZuI/AAAAAAAAAlE/PMOWEgrlDjo/s1600/001.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
First make sure your container is clean and then spray a few coats of primer and/or paint.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0NIrZN8z1HI/VUa3yfVfDiI/AAAAAAAAAlM/coqoM5vvZH4/s1600/003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0NIrZN8z1HI/VUa3yfVfDiI/AAAAAAAAAlM/coqoM5vvZH4/s1600/003.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Next, after it has dried, sand it to give it give it an antiqued look.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BVBDdHTSCTo/VUa4GPLnD_I/AAAAAAAAAlU/F_VISiYdhFc/s1600/004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BVBDdHTSCTo/VUa4GPLnD_I/AAAAAAAAAlU/F_VISiYdhFc/s1600/004.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
I wanted to give it a bit more dimension, so I used to grey paint on the know and on the design.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GAudMAfAi2M/VUa4e182uhI/AAAAAAAAAlc/S4YArZ7DqQM/s1600/006.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GAudMAfAi2M/VUa4e182uhI/AAAAAAAAAlc/S4YArZ7DqQM/s1600/006.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
I don't have a picture, but I decided to sand it a bit more after I the grey paint.<br />

I used a charger that I had in craft supplies, vinyl chalkboard, and a designed a valentine saying in word. <br />

It is winter -the days are shorter and the air is getting cooler.<br />
It seems like there are tons of Christmas decor and projects to make, so I decided to make a project just for winter!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "walter turncoat"; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px;">First, cut the boards from a wood pallet or an old cedar fence.</span><br />
<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "walter turncoat"; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px;">Next,</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "walter turncoat"; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px;"> 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.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Then, I painted the tags and sanded them a bit to rough them up.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6zDyo2tfJp0/V-dQCVRKUYI/AAAAAAAAB0w/hiUxLHVFyyASBegxY7fSb2r0THlOidXGwCLcB/s1600/DSC00179.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6zDyo2tfJp0/V-dQCVRKUYI/AAAAAAAAB0w/hiUxLHVFyyASBegxY7fSb2r0THlOidXGwCLcB/s400/DSC00179.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
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 <a href="http://www.muchmorecreative.net/2016/01/valentine-tags.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> on how I make my tags.</div>

<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0aFbdbuFSyk/WENdmaJo2OI/AAAAAAAAB4I/JntHcOLcglcCHFyekvq5418w5CIfkTwzgCLcB/s1600/Dear%2BPillow.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Pillow" border="0" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0aFbdbuFSyk/WENdmaJo2OI/AAAAAAAAB4I/JntHcOLcglcCHFyekvq5418w5CIfkTwzgCLcB/s640/Dear%2BPillow.jpg" title="Deer Pillow" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
What you will need:<br />
Deer pattern - I just found one on the internet<br />
Burlap Pillow cover - found <a href="http://www.orientaltrading.com/burlap-pillow-square-a2-13744245.fltr?Ntt=burlap%20pillow%20covers" target="_blank">HERE</a><br />
Heat n Bond<br />
Plaid fabric<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WyU8L_uT0fc/WENd0Mi5EcI/AAAAAAAAB4M/4OxFGi3IBi0bpbiMVRCLSkNqCJfNNt-WACLcB/s1600/DSC00404.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WyU8L_uT0fc/WENd0Mi5EcI/AAAAAAAAB4M/4OxFGi3IBi0bpbiMVRCLSkNqCJfNNt-WACLcB/s400/DSC00404.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
First, iron the Heat n Bond to the fabric.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3ndsVSUwlWw/WENd-4SE8CI/AAAAAAAAB4Q/RP68Exp18wEbptVQHqaRZ-CYaGjn6KydgCLcB/s1600/DSC00405.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3ndsVSUwlWw/WENd-4SE8CI/AAAAAAAAB4Q/RP68Exp18wEbptVQHqaRZ-CYaGjn6KydgCLcB/s400/DSC00405.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
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.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This was a fun project!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XXNdoiUotgQ/WCkOPVnx9zI/AAAAAAAAB30/rPEaGxmhoqQ5_BXx34eP-KpTavNzE7E6QCEw/s1600/Deer%2BPallet.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XXNdoiUotgQ/WCkOPVnx9zI/AAAAAAAAB30/rPEaGxmhoqQ5_BXx34eP-KpTavNzE7E6QCEw/s640/Deer%2BPallet.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
First, cut the boards from the wood pallet to the length you prefer. I cut my 14 inches long.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vOwA1K8X7S8/VTxfR13j4DI/AAAAAAAAAj4/8ybSKJ5YzXI/s1600/006.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vOwA1K8X7S8/VTxfR13j4DI/AAAAAAAAAj4/8ybSKJ5YzXI/s400/006.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
Next, you will want to fasten the pieces of wood together. I was going to glue mine together, but my handy husband suggested something a bit more sturdy. He used his pocket hole jig to screw the boards together.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-l9H8NQG_wS8/VSiqffkKkFI/AAAAAAAAAaY/qoFpmgrc8lk/s1600/012.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-l9H8NQG_wS8/VSiqffkKkFI/AAAAAAAAAaY/qoFpmgrc8lk/s1600/012.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I used my cricut to cut an anchor pattern, but a cricut is not required, any stencil will work for this.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-t-Gg4YT_01g/V-dPLwdtkvI/AAAAAAAAB0o/0rEwJ2A-yUUvFplIrFZVhttFCZvJ13VbQCLcB/s1600/DSC00175.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-t-Gg4YT_01g/V-dPLwdtkvI/AAAAAAAAB0o/0rEwJ2A-yUUvFplIrFZVhttFCZvJ13VbQCLcB/s320/DSC00175.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
Stick the stencil to the boards and paint in the anchor.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-N3VAPNAS07c/V-dPlwIsvII/AAAAAAAAB0s/TNV9uFjL0_w_UTrpmm8RGiNfesp8eyJigCLcB/s1600/DSC00176.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-N3VAPNAS07c/V-dPlwIsvII/AAAAAAAAB0s/TNV9uFjL0_w_UTrpmm8RGiNfesp8eyJigCLcB/s400/DSC00176.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Next, decide where you want your rope and hot glue it on.<br />
<br />

<br />
I have been itching to make something for fall. I had bought a cabinet door from a recycle center and had some old cedar fence boards to use, so I put them together, and this is what I came up with!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DzqtJ5pokpo/V-HVE3RC8QI/AAAAAAAAB0A/Y1Z0eP8iUZsAfxids578MIaNEyCiGYX7ACLcB/s1600/Fall.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Fall Sign" border="0" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DzqtJ5pokpo/V-HVE3RC8QI/AAAAAAAAB0A/Y1Z0eP8iUZsAfxids578MIaNEyCiGYX7ACLcB/s640/Fall.jpg" title="Fall " width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I started out with a plain unfinished cabinet door.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I glued on a wood embellishment and painted the whole project brown.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I then sanded it a bit here and there to give it a little of an antique look.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br />

<br />
<br />
I started out with a windowed cabinet door.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IPt9UHn6DVY/V0CJkp-DV8I/AAAAAAAABw0/TAJHrIPAaf8bBdGDO0OUCoKne_uuc0puACKgB/s1600/003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IPt9UHn6DVY/V0CJkp-DV8I/AAAAAAAABw0/TAJHrIPAaf8bBdGDO0OUCoKne_uuc0puACKgB/s400/003.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I painted it an Heirloom white and antiqued it a little.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next, I glued some jute to the back side of the window (the branch the birds will sit on).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
I cut the birds out of different scrapbook paper and used some double sided tape to attache them to the front.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
What you will need:<br />
Cabinet door<br />
Small strips of wood<br />
Paint<br />
Sandpaper<br />
Faux Glaze<br />
<br />
First I painted and antiqued the frame part of the cabinet using gray paint. There is a tutorial <a href="http://www.muchmorecreative.net/2015/07/wedding-chalkboard.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> on how to do this.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I then painted the strips and antiqued them a bit also. There is a tutorial <a href="http://www.muchmorecreative.net/2015/08/colorful-cabinet-doors.html" target="_blank">HERE</a><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then I assembled the flag.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-K1NiWjCiZXQ/V1nvnwc9V1I/AAAAAAAABxk/tF_FE3AKCa0DxReZwaOkOcvATPKD7F4RgCLcB/s1600/007%2B%25288%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-K1NiWjCiZXQ/V1nvnwc9V1I/AAAAAAAABxk/tF_FE3AKCa0DxReZwaOkOcvATPKD7F4RgCLcB/s400/007%2B%25288%2529.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then it was time to do the stars.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZEHJJVGieS8/VZN0a-bwDnI/AAAAAAAAA6k/MtIdy2Srqdo/s1600/015%2B%25288%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZEHJJVGieS8/VZN0a-bwDnI/AAAAAAAAA6k/MtIdy2Srqdo/s320/015%2B%25288%2529.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
First I made a pattern for the sides of the star, traced them and cut them out of script scrapbook paper.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dk_-ps2i8tQ/VZN0FlhzvkI/AAAAAAAAA6c/1UYJKrTZIpE/s1600/017%2B%25289%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dk_-ps2i8tQ/VZN0FlhzvkI/AAAAAAAAA6c/1UYJKrTZIpE/s400/017%2B%25289%2529.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<br />
Then, I used some Modge Podge to adhere the scrapbook paper to the star.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eAtep2LKgNg/VZN06GS3JWI/AAAAAAAAA6s/Rz7nxE5LS-0/s1600/019%2B%25288%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eAtep2LKgNg/VZN06GS3JWI/AAAAAAAAA6s/Rz7nxE5LS-0/s400/019%2B%25288%2529.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Lastly, I glued the stars on the flag.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I love flag decor!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
First, cut your scrapbook paper 4x6 to fit in the frame.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next, the embellishments. I hot glued some ruler ribbon and a flower on for my embellishments</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Lastly, hot glue the sticky notes. It makes a fun stand for the teacher to write her notes on!</div>

I didn't get any pictures when I was doing the design on the chalkboard, but <a href="http://www.muchmorecreative.net/2015/04/vintage-moms.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> is a tutorial on how I create my chalkboards<br />
<br />
<br />
Then I cut some old fence boards to the size, so cut them to whatever will fit your project.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Next, you will want to fasten the pieces of wood together. I was going to glue mine together, but my handy husband suggested something a bit more sturdy. He used his pocket hole jig to screw the boards together.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<br />
I added a little paint to the boards, because I like the look.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Lastly, I glued the chalkboard to the boards!</div>

My daughter loves to where jewelry, but her necklaces were tangled up in a drawer in an organizer on her dresser. I decided to maker her a jewelry hanger to help her keep her necklaces untangled. She loves it!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sC5RZKg60zk/VwFEA7cUhfI/AAAAAAAABuA/GwOzRMOUjdsmujtSUXebJouXWG2RoWTng/s1600/Jewelry%2BHanger.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Jewelry" border="0" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sC5RZKg60zk/VwFEA7cUhfI/AAAAAAAABuA/GwOzRMOUjdsmujtSUXebJouXWG2RoWTng/s640/Jewelry%2BHanger.jpg" title="Jewelry Hanger" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
First, I took an ordinary cabinet door, drilled holes where I wanted the pegs and glued them in. I also glued a wood embellishment in the middle.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pid0fVXgF-o/VwFFQ8CVSnI/AAAAAAAABuM/R1CR3A2r5boitFbqLI0Yy79-jP2lNDq7A/s1600/002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pid0fVXgF-o/VwFFQ8CVSnI/AAAAAAAABuM/R1CR3A2r5boitFbqLI0Yy79-jP2lNDq7A/s400/002.JPG" width="331" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next, I painted the cabinet door a silvery/gray color. I like a contrasting color under the top color.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then, I painted it one of my favorite paint colors: Herloom White. I painted a couple coats.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next, I sanded it a bit to antique it.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here is a picture of it before my daughter hung some of her jewelry on it.</div>
