Wall decor

I took a board from a broken dresser for this project. You have to have tape for this project and I prefer freezer tape instead of painters tape.

How I did this

I painted my board white first then I looked up tutorials for cheveron patterns, but this popped up. I've tried the cheveron pattern before and found this pattern easier. after the paint dried, I taped out my pattern and spray painted it metallic silver. I removed the tape and...done.

Foot stool

The fabric I used for this project I actually painted. As in it was white fabric that I painted the pattern on. The fabric is the same as the fabric I used for the *just be you* project. I couldn't find the legs that I wanted for this so I used these... I don't even know what they are called. 

How I did this

I painted the board first. After that I laid the padding out  on the board. Then laid the fabric on top of that. Using a staple gun I stapled the fabric and padding to the board. The "legs" I screwed on. This was actually a pretty simple project.

Chair makeover

This chair from my school when they got new chairs. It was this ugly green-tan-ish color. I didn't use a staple gun for the fabric I just hand sewed it.

How I did this

I took the cushions of and set them aside. Since it is metal I spray painted the frame a metallic-silver. while the paint was drying I traced and cut out the fabric. I hand sewed the fabric straight to the cushion. the cushions screw on and of so that made it easier. after the paint was dry I put the cushions back on.

Arrow Decor

I saw this really cute arrow decoration at the mall the other day, it was a bit pricey so I made my own.The gold paint is done with a paint marker. I LOVE GOLD PAINT! I use it on probably every project if I have it.

How I did this

I had this board cut down two 12 inches. I made a stencil out of paper (the measuring is the hard part).Trace around the stencil with a pencil. Going straight through the center of the arrow I drew a dot every inch. Since I did the middle stripe a different size I just eyeballed  it. Measuring an inch from the dot, draw a slanted line to the outer line of the arrow. You can add dots or anything extra how you want to. Then paint!!! 

*just be you*

This was my first go at embroidery so I didn't use my embroidery thread and fabric. I didn't use an embroidery pattern for this project I just free handed it with regular thread.

How I did this

• Use any scrap of heavy, neutral fabric and an embroidery hoop that fits your project size
• A regular needle
• Regular thread. Since I used regular thread I threaded it through the needle about 4 times to make it thick.

1. With a pencil, Lightly draw the pattern you want to sew onto your fabric.
2. Thread your needle.
3. Sew your pattern as you would hand sew, but before you move to the next stitch poke the needle through the middle of the last stitch from beneath.
