While spending our days waiting for the return or our ascent, we use our gifts. Gifts of love, gifts of serving and the gift of creativity...

Project: Zipper headband #1

Project: Zipper Headband #1

This was a fun one!! This was my first attempt at the Zipper Headband. My addiction to yo-yo's can definitely be seen here.

Supplies
Apprx 20" zipper
5" of 3/4" elastic
Embellishments (yo-yo and buttons seen here)
Sewing Machine

Project: Couch Pillows


Project: Couch Pillows

We got a couch for about $100 for our new apartment, but the pillows were horrific. I watched a "pocket pillowcase" tutorial and was able to use the filling from the old pillows. The floral fabric was reversible (shiny grey and floral grey), so I used that and a turquoise for the color pallet to match the dull grey.

Supplies:
Cotton stuffing from old pillows
Fabric
Sewing Machine


Before. Enough said.




Project: Headboard #1

This was my first headboard project. Our church has a yearly Junk-a-tique that has more awesome stuff than one can fathom. I found this headboard for $10. There was like 7 of them and I should have bought them all. As you can see I had to sand it down to bare bones. Painted then lined with my favorite fabric. This fabric was also used at our wedding as the portrait studio backdrop (re-using is always great in crafty world). This was NOT what I had in mind originally but I love how it turned out.

Supplies:
Headboard
Sandpaper
Favorite fabric
Tacky brand Fabric adhesive
Paint




Excuse the AWFUL Photo. I shall retake soon!
