Christmas Headband

So-spending several days in a hospital sitting around brings on boredom--definitely. It also provides plenty of Internet cruising--blogs, Pinterest. Which all means finding ideas of things to create. UCreate had this cute headband the other day and we decided it was something we could make while we were sitting down. So, on one of our hospital breaks, we went to JoAnns and rounded up the supplies---glue gun and scissors too. The funny thing is, we didn't do it until the last night (as we waited to see if our hotel room smell would get under control). Side Story: We came back to the hotel room after being gone for 10 hours and it smelled as if someone had just left after smoking---it was AWFUL. They sprayed some odor neutralizer--but we had to switch rooms.

We started the project in the hotel lobby--next to the fireplace. There are three different types of flowers and I put some metallic silver netting in it for fun. We'll have to add a picture of it actually in someone's hair. It was good to have something else to think about for a while and we've decided we need an emergency craft kit in the car.

Chevron chair

Merlynn still has a few chairs left from her grain silo adventure. When they showed me this wooden one, I knew it would be the perfect chair to paint. As we were talking about our tree for Caring & Sharing, we decided we would incorporate some chevron into the tree. At that point--I KNEW what I needed to do with this chair.

I spray painted the seat white.

Then, I cut Chevron stripes from vinyl with my Silhouette. It took two of us to apply these stripes to the chair. (Yes, it was kind of a pain!) Then I spray painted the entire chair red. After I let the paint dry for several hours--I just pulled the vinyl off the chair.

 And I ended up with this VERY cute chair. I love it.

 It looks very cute next to our decorated Christmas tree. The only thing that would make it cuter is if it wasn't red:)

 And one more picture because I love it so much:)

Sneak Peek

It's getting to be Christmas time! I am working a little Christmas project. My class and another teacher's in the school are decorating a tree for the Caring & Sharing Festival. I am sooo excited about it. We've got the ornaments figured out, now we just need to the kids to make them. Here is a sneak peek. I can't wait to put it all together on the tree. #chevronlove

This chair is going to be sooo cool (I Hope). It's a chair from Merlynn & Steve's storage shed buying. I have great plans for it--lets' hope it looks as good as I want it to.
