Today, my friends and I hosted a vintage lingerie shower for my best friend that's getting married next month! (She is the one I mentioned in my favorite things of 2011)

So I have been really busy crafting things for the shower and making sure everything was planned out. It paid off because it turned out really beautiful! There will be some pictures coming soon :)

Here are a few pictures of some of the crafts I made.

<3 Paper flowers for the center pieces made from tea-stained doilies and coffee filters :)

<3 Sash I made for the bride-to-be using her wedding colors: blush & navy :)

She looked super cute in it! My other friend and fellow bridesmaid helped with the 

concept, so thanks Popsicle! 

<3 Tea-stained doily bunting strung with Jute string. We used it against a burlap backdrop for 

pictures, real cute. 

I am glad that the shower went so well :)  Now, there are still some crafts to do for the wedding...I'll be sure to keep you updated!

In other news, I am really trying to get my crafting business Zip Tied Creations to take off. I am making some cute things for Valentine's Day so stay posted for some pictures and maybe some tutorials :) If you wanna check out my facebook page, click here!

DIY Time: Wall Art 2

Hey Friends!

So.....I kinda forgot that I promised to show you my wall art :/

Blogging more consistently is definitely going to be my New Year's Resolution!

To continue with the wall art.....

I created this cute piece of art using an ugly old picture in a cool frame with some pretty fabric.

:)

Here is what I started with....

Pretty ugly picture, right?

The Supplies:

Tacky glue mixed with equal parts water and a paint brush.

Ugly picture, cool frame, and pretty fabric.

The Steps: 

First, paint the glue on small sections at a time.

Next, press the fabric onto the picture. (You'll want the fabric to be slightly larger than the picture)

Continue painting some sections and pressing down the fabric until you have covered the whole picture.

Next flip it over and glue down the edges.

You can let it dry for about an hour or if you are impatient like me...just stick it back in the frame!

Since my picture fit in the frame, I just needed to press down the staples that were already there.

Then, Violia! You have a cute piece of art :)

What do you think?
