Pinterest Party

Pinterest .... so much fun ... so many ideas ... so little time!  After discovering Pinterest a few months ago, I have to limit the time I spend on on the site.  I could literally spend hours looking through different ideas! You can follow my boards by clicking here.  I will be sharing more of my holiday ideas from these boards in the weeks to come.


Over the weekend, my friend Stacey and I had a Pinterest party and made one of the many projects we have found on the site.  We love the way they turned out and it was fun to be able to spend time with a good friend and spend time talking about how the Lord is moving in our lives.


I am going to use the canvas in place of a wreath during the Christmas season, but it could really be used anywhere and I purposely picked ribbon that wasn't necessarily holiday ribbon.  I spend about $20 on the materials to make both of them.  Cheap and super cute!


 My assistant Drew is pointing out our supplies.

 Looks like we aren't the cleanest crafters! :)
 We trimmed our fabric to match our canvas
 Then we wrapped and hot glued the fabric down
 We used a sponge brush to paint the stencil on the fabric
 Neither of us are master bow makers but we searched for that on Pinterest also!
 The finished product!
 You will have to excuse the Thanksgiving door hanger ... of course I will take that down for Christmas!
I picked this stencil and ribbon because I thought it would look cute with the pillows on the bench on the front porch.
