Here is the third and final installment to the wall art series :)

This last piece was a little difficult for me!

Here's the end result:

(It actually has a lot more twigs now!)

And here is how you do it:

1. Get an old frame and spray paint it

Lovely Burnt Orange

Breathing protection....don't want to harm my baby!

The ugly old frame.

2. Find some twigs!...

I found some on top of my hutch :)

3. Attach twigs to spray painted frame, once it's dry of course!

I tried using a staple gun....fail. A hot glue gun works much better!

I didn't take any pictures of me hot gluing...but I think you know how to use one ;)

Then, viola! You have a cute frame with twigs :)

Now that each piece is completed.....you have a three piece set for wall art :)

Bridal Shower Busy-ness!

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 :)

Click here for the awesome tutorial I found on Pinterest. 

<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!
