LOVE

I saw this and immediately fell in love!!!  However when I got here I didn't love the price!!! Right away I thought "I can do that!!"  So I set off to make my own variation. 

I had a painter's canvas in the craft closet, I measured it up, chose my fabric and measured and cut it to fit.  I added an inch and a half so I could wrap it around to the back.  I sewed the color blocks together and ironed. 

I found a nice font on the computer and printed it out the size I wanted.  Cut around each letter and traced them onto the fabric.  Then I sewed on my buttons!!  When I was done I sprayed the canvas with spray adhesive and lined up the center of my fabric, smoothed out all the bubbles and pulled it tight around the back.  I used the heavy duty stapler to attach the fabric to the back!! 

TADA!!!  for just a couple of bucks for the canvas I have some pretty new bedroom art!

Fabric covered composition notebook - part II ~

I find that I take a notebook pretty much everywhere that I go!  So I wanted to have something that catches your eye! 

I had a chance to finish up the set of composition notebooks that I had started yesterday.  These have fabric permanently attached to the covers.  

Then I decided that I wanted to jazz them up a little bit.  So I added bright ribbons and buttons!

I am thinking that maybe these would make good gifts for some little holiday!

I have 3 lovely ladies in our lives that would probably like to get one of these!!

My 13 year old daughter tried to confiscate this *toadstool* one - but didn't succeed!!!  It's my FAVORITE!  I thought of you LISA when I added the rainbow buttons to this one!!!

So maybe, just maybe these will get wrapped up for gifts - or maybe I will just hog them for myself!!

Happy crafting
