More Burlap Madness

Do you remember the other day I posted a plain and simple burlap banner that took less than 20 minutes to put together from start to finish?  You can check it out here.

I decided to make another one with a different twist.

Burlap Banner in Minutes

First post of the New Year.  Hope you had a great holiday and were able to create lasting memories with your friends and ohana.

I was feeling ansy this morning and had all the supplies on hand and decide to add a little something to the guest bath.

Do you see that burlap banner hanigng across the top of the mirror?  Took less than 20 minutes from start to finish.

You will need jute or yarn or something comparable to that, some burlap which I happened to have from a previous project, hot glue gun and sticks, and scissors.

Pin It

I first measured out how long I wanteed my banner to be.  Then, I started cutting triangles.  I just rough eye-balled it.  Doesn't have to be perfect.  Then add hot glue along the top of the triangle and place string in glue trail.  Once I had them all in place I hung.  No dry time needed. 

Simple, right?  How do you like it?  Quick, easy, that is the kind of projects I like.  I love it when a plan comes together.

Now you could dress it up, but I like it plain.

Our Newest Addition

Introducing our newest addition to our Ohana. He was an early Christmas present for my daughter. His name is Aka {ah ka} which means shadow in Hawaiian. After 4 days he was living up to his name and following my daughter around like a shadow everywhere she went.  He has moved on to following the rest of the ohana as well if one of us leaves the room he is in.

He loves to give kisses <3

And, he loves to chew fingers....

Elmer&apos;s craft night

Omg! Soooo much fun. Just the break I needed from homework and the cure for my crafting withdrawls I have been having. 

I was one of the lucky few who got to attend the Elmer's craft night hosted by Lil' Luna and Lollyjane Boutique. 

We were told to bring a 12x12 glitter scrapbook paper and 2 dozens of cookies. 1 dozen to share that night and then a plate full to take home. They were going to be supplying everything else. And boy oh boy did they.

Check out the bag FULL of goodies we each got.  This was sitting on our crafting places.

Ohhhhh, look what you can see.

Did you see it all.  Glue dots, exacto knife, scissors, foam board, cutting mat, gel pens, painters makers, fabric glue, glue stick, and more.

I even won another cutting mat and scissors from one of the numerous drawings they had throughout the evening.

And check out this merry JOY banner that we ended up making.  See what the glitter paper was used for?

Thank you to Elmer's and Lil' Lolly!  hahaha!  Lil' Luna and LollyJane Boutique.  You guys seriously rock!
