DIY Ceiling Tile Bulletin Board

Ceiling Tile Bulletin Boards

{DIY Crafts}

My daughter had a barbie party over the weekend and I needed something unique for the food table. Not only do I like to create things for parties, but I like to use the creations through out the house if I can get away with it. Why waste so much time and money for something that you will only use once.

 I decided to make her this Barbie Ceiling Tile Bulletin Board to go over the food table at the party. After her party was set and done we put it in her room. She official has 3 ceiling tile buttetin boards hanging on her walls. 

It is so easy to DIY....

Get a Ceiling Tile. I have tons of these in my garage thanks to my father in law.

Paint it however you'd like. I just used black spray paint and added an aqua barbie silhouette. Then I added a pink barbie silhouette over the aqua.

Hot Glue a boa to cover the edges.

Simple and this cost me less than $10 to make :)

I do not know how much it would have cost if I had to buy the ceiling tiles, but I can not imagine ceiling tiles being too expensive.

Barbie Party Food Table (well before all the food was out)

 Here is another one I made years ago. When Madison had a princess room. I just painted it pink and used foam stamps in black paint.

She, also, has one with a huge princess crown and wand with her name going across it.

This would be a great gift to give to kids or teachers. You can even cover it with fabric and use it at your home office or command center.

Peppermint Candy Bouquets. Sweet Friday.

Peppermint Candy Bouquets

 I made these candy bouquets during Christmas time and just now remembered. Opps. lol.

These candy bouquets are in margarita glasses and has a straw.

I added a card holder (card not pictured) wishing people a Merry Christmas. It was a cute gift to give to the hostess at the Christmas parties we attended.

I hope you are having a Sweet Friday!

Christmas Countdown Crafts. Chalkboard Countdown

Simple Chalkboard Countdown

This is the Chalkboard from my Picture Wall in my livingroom. I really love the idea of having a chalkboard in the livingroom.

This year we made a simple Christmas Countdown. Just 25 days on a chalkboard. The kids put an "X" through the numbers day by day and a foam snowflake goes on our current day til Christmas. Today we have 18 days until Christmas!

*(17 if you are reading this via email subscription. If you haven't yet sign up to the right. It's FREE!)

We have done the paper chains. Just make 25 paper chains and tear one down everyday.

We have done the Santa Claus beard. Cut off a section of his beard day by day.

We have added a sticker to a Calendar day by day for 25 days.

It doesn't matter how you do it. The kids just love counting down the days until Christmas :)

How are you counting down the days until Christmas or another Holiday?

Christmas Present Shirt & Bow

.Applique Christmas Present Shirt.

 I made Jaxson his Reindeer Shirt and was planning on making Madison the same shirt with the reindeer wearing a bow, but Madison decided she didn't want to match her brother. So I made Madison a Applique Present Shirt with this matching bow.....

This bow came out adorable! It's something any Mom can learn how to make.

This is her Applique Christmas Present Shirt. I hand painted on the HO HO HO on the white ribbon after it was sewn on.

Madison

Madison wore this shirt to her school Christmas party. I had several Moms and her teacher asking me where did I buy that adorable shirt and bow. It was a nice compliment :)

During our Christmas break....

I am organizing the house, donating toys, making a cake, and spending time with my kids! Madison is out of school and we are having fun playing with her Pet Shops.

During this time, I made a Zebra Diva Crayon Coin Bank, Zebra Diva Fabric Wreath, Zebra Diva Pillows and more! Can't wait to show you after the New Year :)

I hope you are having a wonderful Christmas break!

What are your plans this Holiday season?

Reindeer Applique Shirt

I made this Reindeer Applique Shirt for Jaxson last night. I love how to came out and I'm making Madison one tonight or tomorrow. Her Reindeer Applique Shirt will be wearing a hair bow :)

Supplies Needed:

Brown, Beige, White, Black, and Red Fabric

Brown, Beige, White, Black, and Red Thread

Heat N Bond Lite

Iron

Sissors

Pen

Reindeer Applique Template

White Shirt

All you do is...

1. Make a Reindeer Applique Template. I drew my template by hand, but I'm sure you can find one through google search. The reindeer's head is like a candy corn shape. I drew a candycorn with ears, antlers, a nose, and eyes. I then made a copy of the template from my printer.
2. Cut out your Template seperating the parts. This is when the second copy comes in hand.
3. Iron Heat N Bond to your 5 Fabrics and trace the body parts on the back of the heat N bond.
4. Cut out each shape
5. Arrange the Reindeers face on your shirt and iron in place
6. Use a ziz-zag stich and sitch around your applique. Make sure to match the thread to the fabric you are sewing.

I will post step by step instuctions along with pictures in a feature date. I'm a picture person learnern =)

This is the most detailed applique I have ever made. I can't wait to make more :)

Jaxson loves it. I ask him "where is the red nose reindeer" and he points to his shirt and smiles.

Happy Thursday!

Christmas Tree

I am BACK from my Thanksgiving break! I'm so thankful for so many things, but I'm most grateful for my family....

Of course, they can drive me insane at times, but they still make my heart smile everyday :)

CHRISTMAS TIME!

We always put up our Christmas decorations on Black Friday. When do you normally put yours up?

This is the first year Jaxson is really seeing all the Christmas Decorations since he was only 2-3 months old last year. He couldn't get enough of them. He laughed and wanted to grab EVERTHING. He loved the lights the most.

Madison always puts the star on our tree with Daddy's help :)

Here is our finished tree! I do not use glass ornaments. I've heard of kids chocking on the metal caps of the glass balls and passing away. I'm a worrier and rather play it safe. All my ornaments are plastic or metal. 

Our Glitter Star Burst Ornaments.

These ornaments value for $2.99 a peice. My husband worked at the store that sold them and after Christmas they gave him 2 small boxes full. We got over 40 of these ornaments for FREE!! They were on a display tree at the store and after the holidays they were just going to throw them away.

Frugal Tip: Stores throw away all display items after Christmas or sale them for dirt cheap. Ask the manager how you can get some display ornaments after the holidays. Great frugal way to have some great Christmas decorations.

I'm thinking of adding some pink and purple ornaments to our tree.

What color is on your tree?

Send pictures of your decorated tree to TutuFairy@sbcglobal.net. Will be featured on an upcoming blog post.
