So I've cured the bald spot above our bed. finally!

And if I do say so myself, I'm thrilled with how my little painting project worked out!

Getting Crafty

Morning lovelies.

So I've just about knocked off my Christmas List for family.

{I happen to love giving gifts. I love wrapping them even more...

I'll post pics later of my themed packaging!}

I decided to DIY one gift for a girlfriend of mine and I'm happy with how it turned out.
It's super affordable {I spent approx. $20} and I guarantee it will be appreciated!

Here's the play by play:

Framed Earring Holder

Supplies Needed:

• Picture Frame (the one I used is 11" x 14")
• White Needlepoint backing (they come in sheet rolls, found mine @ Michael's)
• Scissors
• Hot glue gun + glue

1. Measure needlepoint backing to fit within innermost edge on back of frame.

  2. Cut backing to fit within and hot glue on all edges to frame.

{Once the backing is secure, I go back on top and seal all edges with glue just to be sure}

3. Final Product! Hopefully she will like it!

{This is one I made for me @ home!}

Ho! Ho! Ho!
