Contact Paper Window DIY
Labels: Art, Crafts, DIY, Leslie, Window | at 6:24 PM
I have an old wooden ikea tv stand, we keep tons of junk in the bottom since there is lots of storage. Well, I was sick and tired of looking at the junk all the time so I decided to cover it up. My first try was a complete failure because I was going to use scrapbooking paper in the windows. It looked cute, but the cable box is down there and it totally blocked the signal, so while it was cute it was completely inconvenient!
Next, I went to Make-Man and did some snooping around and found some contact paper that I could put in the windows that gave it a blurred effect and I could most likely still get the signal to the cable box..bingo! I took it home and cut out some cute images on my Cricut then traced them on the contact paper, cut them out, and stuck them to the window!! Sooooo simple and it makes the doors look super cute!!!
(*NOTE: I tried the contact paper in the cricut and it was a no-go! The cricut pulled the paper and demolished the contact paper.:( )
Here are some pictures:
How do you like it?? Give me some feedback:)!!!

"Do Not Touch!!!"- Reuse craft
Labels: Crafts, DIY, Lauren | at 7:33 AM
So I'm sure for any of you who have kids have used the phrase "Do not touch!" or maybe its "NO! You may not have that!". Well I felt like I was using it DAILY with my (almost) 2 year old. I'd turn around and she'd be crawling on my desk, reaching for a pair of scissors...or un-rolling ALL of my tape.
I saw this idea on Pinterest and HAD to use it. I took our old Shower hanging Organizer, named it to the wall above my desk, and used it to organize/hang all the stuff that Skyzilla shouldn't touch. It's an easy "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" type of DIY thing- which is always the best because it means its cheap and handy.
Try this yourself, its super handy!

Queen of the Jungle
Labels: Crafts, DIY, Lauren | at 7:25 AM
So, I did this awhile ago (actually almost 2 years ago) for my daughter, Skyler's, room. We chose a jungle theme when I was pregnant with her and we went to town on making these hanging letters.
First, I bought the letters from Walmart and Michaels. The reason I went to both is because Walmart didn't have some of the letters I needed. So the "Queen" letters are different from the rest- no big deal at all.
I chose to paint the "Queen" part first. I had to use 2 coats of pink paint but I used a darker shade of pink for the edges; which also needed 2 coats. We chose green and brown for the rest of the letters until we got to "Jungle".
I had my boyfriend hang the letters for me, using a mix of tacks and small nails. We had these Jungle animal wall stickers from The Dollar Tree, so we added them on the wall around the letters to keep with the theme.
The total project took about a week- this was in our spare time. But I believe it could probably be done in 2 days, if you work tediously!
Give it a whirl, its fun and its a cheap, easy decorations for ANY room!
