{FuN} Last Minute Teacher Gift Idea!

These were some FuN key chain wristlets that my sis-in-law whipped up for our teachers this year.  She used two different styles of 1.5 size ribbon {that she bought @ Hobby Lobby} ...and a strip of Warm n Natural quilt batting to place  in between both ribbon layers. 

First she sewed both ribbons together on the outsides...then using a safety pin attached to a strip of Warm n Natural...we worked it through the sewn strips of ribbon {to give it a little more cushioning}.  Then singed the frayed edges of ribbon...then folded them over 3 times...and placed in the key chain and used a clamp to clamp the metal together. { Boy I really hope that made sense :) }

Then I found a picture of a key online...and printed it out and used as a template to have my kiddos trace on some scrapbook paper.  Then they cut out...and wrote their little thank-you notes on the back.  We made one for each their teachers and and their bus driver. 

My sis-in-law purchased her clamp key ring hardware online somewhere...but for the life of me...I can't remember the site...Uggg... but I know you can purchase some on Etsy.   Does anyone else know where to find them??

Anyways...they were a BLAST to make...and would really make a FanTasTiC gift for anyone!

Happy Crafting!

Another take on my {$3 Frame Makeover} and Great Gift Idea!

Ok...sooo do you remember this:

{my $3 frame makeover}

 Well... for our Super Saturday...we wanted to make these dry-erase calendars...but wanted a simpler way of doing the grids instead of drawing them on with a permanent marker.  Sooo...I asked my awesome sis-in-law {owner of Daisy Dot Design and Decor} if she could make the whole calendar out of vinyl. 

 And...this is how it turned out:

LoVe it!!!

 

 I  just bought a 11x14 frame @ Walmart...and stuck the vinyl on the inside of the glass...then added scrapbook paper behind the glass.  The paper just sat in there {just like a photo would} so that I can change it out each season etc.

It was as easy as sticking a big sticker on the glass...and you're DONE! 

Wouldn't this make a great neighbor, sister, friend, co-worker Gift??!!

For more info...or if you would like to purchase this vinyl...go HERE...and  tell my sis-in-law...HI!   :)

{Beadboard} Photo Display Tutorial

Just in case you missed it... here is my tutorial for making these FuN beadboard photo displays that I posted here:

{DIY} Beadboard Photo Display

First I cut a piece of beadboard to the size that you want. {mine was 9 1/2" x 10" ...and I used a 4 x 6 photo} 

Then... trace your photo on the foam board {that I bought at the dollar store}...

Then cut out with exact-o knife...

Then I used  spray adhesive...and sprayed my  foam board with a good even coat...and stuck my photo on...

Then on the beadboard I painted on stain over the whole board...then wiped most of it off except for in the cracks...

Then stuck the foam board to the beadboard with E-6000 adhesive...
and tied a piece of netting around the bottom.

And there ya have it!!  A super easy inexpensive gift for any parent or grandparent on your list!
