Who knew wipes could look so good....

Another project done! I have seen wipe containers redone in many different ways...and decided to try my hand at one. I am hoping it's not too feminine for his nursery. So I tried to keep it as simple as possible.

Supplies needed:

1 Container of Wipes

2-3 Pieces of Coordinating scrapbook paper

Hot glue

Mod Podge

Ribbon

Button

Step 1: Make a pattern for the the top and sides of your wipes case. The sides are the easiest. I just freehanded the sides...but the top is a whole other problem.

To do this I put a piece of paper on top of the wipes case and used a crayon to get the outline of the wipes. I then cut out my pattern. It worked like a charm.

Step 2: Mod podge your pieces of paper onto the tops and sides of your container.

Step 3: Hot glue ribbon around your edges.

Step 5: Embellish. I just cut out a piece of paper and then layered it with ribbon and a paper flower.

Who knew wipes could look so cute? :)

I am participating in the following parties:

Whatever Goes Wednesday

Show and Tell Wednesday

Charlie's Blanket

It is finally done.

I feel like this project has been going on for as long as I've been pregnant. (which by the way..is almost 33 weeks!)

The front is cozy baby flannel and the back is really soft minky-like fabric.

We made it WAY bigger than crib size because we wanted him to be able to use it for a while.

I got the elephant pattern from one of my most favorite blogs---little birdie secrets

The colors match perfectly with everything else in his nursery.

Thanks to my mom for her sewing skills and helping me get this project done!

One more project checked off the list! :)

Dollar Store Nursery Decor

I have slowly been working on things for Charlie's nursery. I am still working on all of the bedding, blankets and burp rags and I have decided on a Jungle theme for his nursery. After spending a fortune on fabric for all of that, I decided I needed to try and make all of his nursery decor for as little as possible. I went to our local thrift store and found a perfectly good wood shelf and 4 frames all for 8 bucks!! I will be re-doing all of those in the coming weeks, but today I made some dollar store frames into some Jungle themed nursery decor!

Here is how I made them:

Supplies:

8 X 10 wood frames (I bought mine at the dollar store)

Paint

White cardstock

Painted Wooden Animals (I got these at my local craft store for .79 cents each)

Brown Ribbon

Hot Glue

Brown Cardstock

Step 1: Paint your frame

Step 2: Cut out the letters for your animals. I used my cricut cartride Jubilee and I cut them 2" long.

Step 3: Place your cardstock in your frame and then your glass BEHIND your card-stock. This creates a hard surface.

Step 4: Glue your letters on

Step 5: Hot glue your wood animal on your card-stock.

Step 6: Glue ribbon around the edges of your frame.

Each frame ended up costing me about $2.50 after they are all done! They were super easy and they will go great in his nursery! Now I just need to decide where to hang them!!
