Project #1 - cardboard letter sale at Hobby Lobby = "READ" sign on my mantel for about $4 and some spray paint. Question: should I stagger the letter height by stacking them on re-covered books? Or will that be too busy?
Project #2 - I've had these awesome damask print letters on hand for a while and I've been keeping my eyes open for a six opening collage frame. Tonight at Wal-mart I hit the jackpot. Approx. $25 total. Just pretend you can't read my last name, especially if you're a crazy.
Project #3 - I have never had decent jewelry storage. I'm not kidding. Never in my life. And the sad part is that I have some really nice pieces. I have several strands of pearls, including some that are heirloom pieces passed down through my family. Of course, most of these I keep sealed and stored, but a few of the pieces that I wear regularly (and what Southern lady doesn't wear her pearls regularly?) have always been kept in boxes stacked everywhere. Tonight I fixed that! Behold my craftiness:
Goodwill frames + two sheets of half off scrap book paper + modpodge +hooks. Total cost: $5
I LOVE the frames! That's a great idea, my toddler has discovered my jewelery box which means I have been discovering my grandmothers diamond ring in his mouth!
ReplyDeleteAnd I like the READ the way it is, I think adding books would make it look to busy. But it's a great idea!
I LOVE the jewerly frame idea! I just have boxes in my drawer!
ReplyDeleteTherese
I would like to see a picture of the READ with books underneath to adjust the height. I think it would look cute that way.
ReplyDeleteI love the "Read" sing over your mantel! That's fabulous.

Leave the READ letters as they are. Stacking them would be too busy in my opnion. They are great now.
ReplyDeleteI did the same thing for my jewellery but even simpler. I used a cutting board, painted it and put some very simple hooks in it, not even framed it. The jewellery is all the decoration it needs.
