M!!! for MEHR!

Okay.. So, This is what my door looked like two days ago.. Embarrassing.. I know. My poor beaten wreath is gone now and replaced with a fun, bright, "Wishing sping was here" M.
And Here is how I made it!

These I bought at Wal-mart for cheap.. Get as many as you need for you letter. Mine is a M

First you cut them into the shape you need...

Then hot glue them together. (very easy right?)

Here is my Marvelous M glued!

the cover it with fabric, so the foam doesn't show through.

Now you glue on the fabric flowers (how to make these is on the next post)
Glue big ones on first then work in the smaller ones.

Add some buttons and ribbon, AND.... you have an Awesome, Bright, M!!
(or other letter)

Take a closer look!!! I am in love!

If you aren't in to the scrappy look try and more subtle approach. I made these flower balls a year (ish) ago, with the same (foam) idea in mind. But I used round balls and just poked the flowers in. You could do the some thing with your foam letter!!

here you can see the foam..

hope that inspires you! Happy crafting,
HALEY

EASY PILLOW!!!

I made this pillow the other day so I could add some blue around the house.. And I was surprised how easy it was!! So, for all you people out there spending 40$ on a pillow like this.. STOP NOW!! This pillow cost me 4 bucks, took me about 30 minutes, and I got to let my inner pyro out!!

Here are the very easy steps:
1. Buy a pillow.. basic. (I got mine at Ikea for 99 cents)
2. Buy some Organza fabric ( mine was $3 a yard. and I got 1yd.)
3. Get out your hot glue gun, and LIGHTER!
4. Cut organza into 3ish inch strips and burn all the way down each edge.
5. Hot glue the fabric in a spiral starting on the outer edge onto the pillow...

then..... Wa LA!!

you go from this......

TO THIS!!!

Far behind... I know...
