Project Number 2

This is a "half way done project". I say that because even though I did everything I wanted to do, and even more so far, it still doesn't look quite right. These projects were meant to be fun, EASY ways to make Samanthas room look more "Samantha". Anyways, this is what I started out with:

and then opened:

Hmm... that fabric is looking pretty foldy and creasey. So we took out the iron:

We then put the fabric over the front of the board

and used a stapler to staple the sides:


Be careful to make the corners look good!

Trimmed the excess fabric from the back:

And I got 2 matching boards that look pretty good:

The plan was to use ribbon on the front, but it didn't work exactly as planned and I ended up using very thin rope-like elastic:



And the "semi-finished product"


My mom found some buttons and pretty stuff that we are going to try decorating with:


So I shall let you know how that goes. But for now, it will work for what I have in mind, which YOU will find out as soon as I get the chance to work on her room!
