You are a "Tee-rrific" Dad {Free Printable}

Last week I shared this over at Tatertots and Jello.  Thought I would share it here in case anyone missed it last week! 

Father's Day will be here before you know it and I have the perfect gift idea for the Father's in your life.

My hubby LOVES to golf and so I wanted to make something special for him that involved his favorite hobby. 

I did three different color schemes, so you can pick your favorite!

Let's get started!

Tutorial:

Supplies Needed

1 bag of tees

1 Tag 

1 piece of coordinating card stock cut to the size of tee tag

Tape

Staples

Jute 

Step 1:  Print your free printable here.  (this one is for the color scheme shown)

I have designed 3 different color schemes 

Red

Blue

Brown

Step 2: Measure the tag on the tees.

Step 3: Cut out your tags and cut out coordinating scrapbook paper to the size you measured.

Step 4:  Staple scrapbook paper to the bag.  (Try to staple in far enough that your tag will hide your staples)

Step 5: Tape your tag onto your scrapbook paper.  I used scrapbooking tape for this. 

Step 5: Wrap jute around the bag loosely about 3 times and tie in the back. 

Step 6: Tape your circle tag onto the front of the bag in the middle of jute. 

And you're done! 

Super simple and easy to make.

Hanging Letter Frame

I know I haven't crafted for a couple of weeks.

It has been kind of busy around here lately and I just haven't had the motivation to be crafty. 

I seriously have a huge list of things I want to make, but I just don't have the time or the motivation to actually make it! :)

I was able to put together a simple craft today, that I am actually using for a wedding present.

It was super easy to make, and was really inexpensive.  I had all of the supplies on hand.  

Yes, I even had the M.  

I was planning on using that for another project, but it just so happens that the last name of the newlywed couple begins with M.  

Tutorial:

Step 1: Paint your frame.  I painted mine black.  It required a couple of coats. 

Step 2: Paint your letter black, or whichever color that you prefer. :)

Step 3.  Mod podge some paper on your letter and then use sandpaper and distressing ink to make it look old.  Then use lace and a button to embellish.  I tried to keep it simple.  This person has a very similar style to my own, and I like to keep things looking simple. 

Step 4: Tie a small bow (I used fabric, that I ripped) around the top of your frame.  Then secure another piece of fabric to hot glue to your letter.  

 And your done! 

I really like how it turned out! The best part was that it only took about a half hour to put together and I didn't have to run out and get any supplies!

I think I might make myself one in the future.  We will be moving soon, and when we get settled I would really like to have a gallery style wall and I think this would look perfect for my wall!

Mod Podged Key Frame {tutorial}

So last week I posted this tutorial over at Brown Paper Packages, so I thought I would post it on here in case anyone missed out last week! :)

Right now I am loving the vintage look.  I am slightly obsessed with lace at the moment and I can't stop crafting with it! So today I thought I would show you a project that is both vintage looking and uses lace!

 I started out with this frame.  If you don't have a frame lying around your house I am always finding a ton at my local thrift store for super cheap.  

Alright, let's get started!

Step 1: Paint your frame.  I started with a coat of antique white so that when I distressed the edges white would show through.  

After your white paint dries, paint your frame black.  When the black dries, use some sandpaper to rough up the edges so it looks like this:

Step 2: Cut out a piece of cardboard or matte board to fit the size of your frame. 

Step 3: Paint it black

Step 4: Cut out a piece of paper to the size you like and mod podge it onto your cardboard.

Step 5: Cut out a key. (I used my cricut machine) Then mod podge it onto your paper. 

Step 6: Attach lace.  Apply a thin layer of mod podge to the edge of your board. 

Then carefully place lace onto mod podge.  You will want to trim the edges to the size you want. 

Step 7: Hot glue black ribbon around the edge of your lace. 

That's it! You're done! I love how it turned out, and I love the vintage feel of it.

Spring Blocks

I love spring!

Last year, when I was doing Craft Night we made these blocks.

I finally just got mine out of our storage and was so excited to put them up again this year!

They were so much fun to make and I really love how mine turned out!

So I thought I would repost the tutorial, incase anyone missed out last year.

Here is the tutorial!

Supplies Needed

6 wood blocks, differing in sizes.

6 coordinating pieces of scrapbook paper

2 sheets of lighter color scrapbook paper for your letters. I just used white.

Paint

Mod Podge

Buttons

Ribbon

Hot Glue

Step 1: Cut out your blocks and sand them.

S: 9 x 5 1/2"

P: 6 x 3 1/2"

R: 7 x 5 1/2"

I: 3 1/4 x 4"

N: 5 x 3 1/2"

G: 4 1/2 x 3 1 /4"

Step 2: Paint your blocks. For these blocks I used antique white. I like it because it isn't stark white and it has a little bit of a yellow undertone.

Step 3: While your blocks are drying, cut out your paper to fit the size of each of your blocks.

these are the sizes of paper for my blocks

Step 4: After your blocks are dry, apply a thin layer of mod podge to the FRONT of your blocks and apply your paper. Make sure you flatten it out really well so you don't get any bubbles.

Step 5: While your mod podge is drying, cut out your letters. These are the sizes I used. The font is Alphalicious (cricut machine)

S: 5 3/4"

P: 3 3/4"

R: 6 3/4"

I: 3"

N: 4"

G: 3"

Step 6: Mod podge your letters on the front of your blocks.

Step 7: Add any embellishments and ribbon that you like! If you want to make paper flowers you can find my tutorial here.

You're Done!
