I found my hobby: No, not blog reading. Well, okay I read blogs on a daily basis, but crafting and recreating things I find from other blogs. This has also given me creativity to create things that I think of. Whew, didn't know I had it in me! Here is something I made by going to a fabric store, picking out something I love, and hanging it up on some free wall space in my husbands bathroom...
Here is the fabric--a pretty green and white print design. My husbands bathroom is brown, green, and a neutral light brown.
I got a yard of this fabric for $8 and then split that with a friend. She was thinking the same idea for her bathroom. I then went to Target and purchased a frame for $19.99...
I thought the brown wood frame would look good against the tan brown wall color and framing the green/white print. I was unsure of whether to keep the white mat in the frame and played around with the idea, finally deciding to keep it in...Next step, I taped the fabric to the back of the mat. There might be a more professional way to do this, again I'm new at this...
And then framed it!
I have yet to get my husband to hang it, more pics to come when it is in his bathroom. So there you have it, quick, cheap (total $25, and I'm sure you could find a cheaper frame) and easy!
Now what to do with all this leftover fabric, any suggestions? It is a little less than 1/2 a yard.
There has got to be something cute I can make with the leftover fabric....but what? I don't know how to sew, but that is on my to-do list for summer break!! Have a good day!!
