Texas Tutu

We just finished up a cute custom ordered bumblebee tutu and put it off into the mail and sent to TEXAS! So excited to see what this sweet soon to be 3 year old will look like in it! I only took a few pictures on my phone of it but it was sooo stinkin cute! Ashtyn begged to keep it for herself! We will have to make a duplicate!

Crayon Letter Wall Hanging

This year for Christmas Ashtyn really wanted to make her own gift for her teacher, Mrs. Johnson. We saw this idea and she LOVED it! So we decided to give it a try! Here's what we did.

Material Needed:
Frame (without the glass)
Spray Paint (if wanted- we spray painted the frame and the matting to match)
Crayons
Glue Gun & Glue Sticks

What To Do:
1. Spray paint your frame
2. Align the crayons the way you would like them (it helps to lay them out first to make sure you have enough room)
3. Use your hot glue gun to glue each crayon individually (you don't need a lot of glue but make sure to glue each crayon)

And wallah! You're done, so incredibly easy and I had everything on had to make it :)
Enjoy!

The finished Project! A "J" for Ashtyn's teacher :)

Little Guys Neck Ties

Here are 4 matching Christmas ties for the cutest family of 4 boys! It makes it so much fun to make knowing the are going on such handsome and sweet boys!! :)

Sending a little holiday cheer!

Decorative Tiles

The kids and I really enjoy making these decorative tiles, they can be used for coasters

or you can hang them on the wall or use a clothes pin and some wood glue and they can be set up anywhere!

They are so cute, easy and very affordable to make!

Ashtyn and I made a few sets for gifts this year, here's what we did!

Supplies:

Tiles (We got ours from Menard's, you can buy them from any hardware/home store)

Scrapbook Paper

Paper Cutter (Rotary Cutter, scissors)

Ruler

Mod Podge

Paint Brush

*Gems/Ribbon, ect. Ashtyn likes to decorate hers a little more than just the paper :)

WHAT TO DO:

1. Cut out your scrapbook paper to fit the tiles

2. Put a THIN layer of Mod Podge on the tile

(note-- make sure to not use to much or your paper will bubble)

3. Place the scrapbook paper onto the tile rub it until smooth

4. Place a layer of Mod Podge over the entire title.

5. Let dry (if wanted you can decorate with gems/ribbons/ect.

6. Repeat with another layer of Mod Podge

7. Let dry for 30 min.

Titles that we bought from Menard's

I have found using a roatary cutter and large ruler is the quickest and easist way to do this!

Paint on the mod podge then add your paper, then paint another layer of mod podge!

Press down the paper, get out all those bubbles!

Woala! Finished products! GREAT GIFTS :)
