i love when our girl family members or my friends have bdays because i get to make cute girlie things!
i ran across this idea a week or so ago when i was searching my crafty resources:
being the wife of a cabinet designer, we tend to have random pieces of wood, doors, counter tops, etc laying around the house that we feel the need to keep rather than throw away. conveniently with the basement flood i found a door with speaker screen in it that shaun had brought home from work. i thought this would be perfect!
here is the final product:
i didn't have much to do on this project because the screen was already in, the wood was already finished, so it took me all of 5 minutes.
i hot-glued the flower on the front, staple gunned the ribbon on the back...i used two staples on each side to get the ribbon to lay correctly.
the screen required some tape to get it to stay, so i used some of the duct tape i had left over from the art tube i made our niece for Christmas.
i really like how this turned out. thanks to those folks who publish crafting ideas...i'd like to think that i have original ideas, but rarely is that the case!
genna, if you're reading this, i hate to ruin the surprise, but you're getting something similar for Christmas! it was just too cute, i had to post it.
am i reading this? ha! every last little word, my precious! :) good thing i loved it before i got to the last paragraph! hahah... you're right,though, it did turn out nicely. And i got very excited when you mentioned your STAPLE GUN!!! i JUST got one this year. Chip said he hadn't gotten me one before because he figured i had several.. "and probably some that staple different colored staples or something" is actually what he said. ha! :)
