Superhero Bins {Tutorial and Printable} To say my son is obsessed with superhero's right now is an understatement.

Superhero Bins {Tutorial and Printable}

He can spot anything and everything superhero wherever we are. . . which is not always a good thing. I am running out of excuses of why we can't buy every superhero thing he sees. So, we are in the process of transforming his room into, of course, a superhero room and making space for his little brother while we are at it. Here is another sneak peek into his decor: What you need: Logo Printout with the font, Hall of Heroes (click on images to print) 4 Fabric Bins from Target & Lowe's Scrap Felt Paper Scissors Fabric Scissors Hot Glue Gun This font has every superhero logo and more. Cut out the each layer/color of the logos. Pin (I found it easier to pin than trace on felt) the logos onto your felt and cut out. Glue your background piece on the bin first and then the rest of the pieces to finish the logo.

Two Easy, Inexpensive Nusery Decor Ideas

There is just something exciting about a nursery. When we were decorating my daughter Addie’s room I found a lot of fun inexpensive ideas. I thought I would share two really easy, inexpensive, and cute crafts I added to Addie’s room that give it a lot of character. The first thing I made are these Embroidery Hoop Frames. They are simple, colorful and about as easy as it gets. All you need are a few embroidery hoops and some fabric.

Here is the final project, if you decided not to paint the frames it will take under 10 minutes and less than $10! The next idea is a really fun and a useful way to reuse diaper boxes. I took one of these boxes, cut off the top tabs, painted a layer of Mod Podge (or any glue) and then covered it with scrapbook paper. Now we have all of Addie’s baby toys stored away until she wants to play with them again. Lined Canvas Diaper Box. You can find almost anything on Pinterest…it’s true.

Upon wasting my time searching the other day, I found a fantastic tutorial on upcycling diaper boxes. Hmmm…what could I do with this? Oh, yes – toys scattered all about our living room floor: check, a desire to get said toys put away when not in use: check, cute fabric laying there staring at me: check! I decided to take on this project! I changed some things from this tutorial I found, but you could use either hers or mine. What you’ll need Diaper Box Canvas fabric (1 yard covered two diaper boxes) Measuring tape Spray adhesive Craft glue Scissors (or rotary cutter and mat) Here’s how.

It also always seems like the ones I have are never quite right. So I buy more, also either not quite right or just waaay too expensive. Until now! We needed something for Kennedy's bedside table so I went right ahead and made it myself! I've seen this idea around here and there, but I've always sort of overlooked it because the ones I've seen haven't really been my style. I just grabbed an ordinary box that was the right size. I used a glue stick to attach a strip of fabric, wrapped a bit of twine, did a bit of stamping and that was it. Oh look at that! Oh well, I have just the right solution to cover this up... Books! So just to recap, here's what happened: OK, now lets all go make about a million of these! Oh, and in case you were wondering, those are green onions I'm trying to grow in the background. Which, apparently, cats eat.
