Mini dresser

So my little sister's had a mini dresser (something you would put jewelry or small things in) that was about to be thrown out. They had colored on it and one of the drawers had fallen off. My mom was going to throw it out until I saved it :) I sanded down the old paint, repainted it, stenciled an H for their initials on top, papered the drawers with mod podge, and then applied a thin coat of polyurethane to make it shiny. It took 3 days but it turned out too cute.  Here are the before and after pictures.




Another wreath :)

I seriously cannot get enough of making wreaths! They are just so easy and fun. I sound like a total old person but I don't care. This one I made for $3! I was at Target and found all the stuff at the front $1 section. I got a round tinsel wreath and two tubes of plastic ornament balls. I glued them with hot glue just like the coat hanger wreath.

Christmas wreath

So I have made at least 3 things since my last post but I'm just going to post my new Christmas wreath I made today :) It was so quick and easy to make. All I did was hot glue ornaments onto a coat hanger that I had bent into a circle. I painted the hook parts so they matched. It was fun and you could make tons of different types.
