For the 4th-24th of July I just took off the burlap decorative tie and added this large piece of red burlap fabric and hung it over the door.  Now the back side of my door looks strange, I don't know how to inconspicuously attach it to the door yet.  Any ideas?

The red ribbon/fabic comes in a large roll from Hobby Lobby and was $9.99 -50%.  So it was around $5 and there is a lot left over for other projects....

...In fact I used some (very little) of the red burlap to make a star to put on my chevron garden flag out front.  I make these garden flags and will have to do a tutorial on them soon.  All I did was cut out the red burlap (free hand, not too perfect) and then painted on a star with regular craft paint (free hand as well) and then sprayed it with one of my favorite products ever, Mod Podge spray enamel.  If it gets wet the paint won't run.



ps the flag above looks crooked but it's not.  I took it at a weird angle so it looks like one of the sleeves is shorter than the other.  But they are even.

Oh and that last picture is a random picture of some cute kids I found. ;)

I made this banner for my sis and old friend, Wendy from DC about a month ago. Wendy's shower was held in DC, my sis flew out to attend and brought this flag banner with her. Rozzie (as I call her) ;) took pictures of the shin-dig below.

I made this flag banner for my sister. Her good friend is having a baby and she asked me to make this for her. Her shower is Safari themed and had the green, blue, brown and orange in it and so I tried to get some cute fabrics with those colors.

Next, take your ribbon and lay it out straight, don't cut it until you have layed out all of your triangles. Then hot glue each triangle to the ribbon and cut.

I wish I had better pictures, but above is the mirror I bought from the DI for $10. I bought some "oregano" colored spray paint and washed off the hand-painted embellishments from the mirror, taped around the wood with painters tape so nothing got on the glass and sprayed....

I actually made them! The flag banners that is. Above is a picture I took of them. I am going to use them for Mimi's party and in her room when I actually put it together. I will post a tutorial this weekend.
Above are the two cake stands that Mimi and I made for her party.

I am working on a flag banner right now for Max and Mimi. So far I only have the material, printed pattern and about 3 triangles cut out. I will post the finished product in about a year. ;) In the meantime I will admire these adorable flag banners from paperfish.
