Towel Rack


We have gone without a towel rack in the bathroom for about a year thanks to Austin. He ripped it out of the wall swinging into the bath tub (you gotta love little boys!) I thought it could be fun to make a more personalized place for the boys to put their towels. I found the board at DI for $2 and with a little paint, hardware, and vinyl it's like brand new.

Cardboard Project

I have been looking for something to hang above my bed and after making my jewelry board I realized that working with fabric is so fun and the ideas can be limitless. This is an inexpensive, unique way to make a little art on the wall. You will need: cardboard or cork tiles, fabric, glue gun, and adhesive.
Step 1: I covered my cork with fabric. Tacks work great on cork.


Step 2: Cut your cardboard and cover with fabric, it's better to use your hot glue to attach the fabric.

Step 3: I played around with how I wanted it to look before I glued the cork onto the cardboard.

Step 4: Hang it up, I hung mine up with adhesive velcro.

Another view, I really like how it turned out.

DIY Jewelry Holder

 I was inspired to make this for two reasons: I wasn't wearing a lot of my necklaces and they were becoming knotted up in my bathroom drawer. This was very easy to do and it's a great bathroom decoration. Here's what you will need: 1. cork board ( bought mine at DI for $3, it's also at Hobby Lobby for $8) 2. fabric 3. tacks 4. old frame 5. hooks
Step 1: I took the frame off this cork board and wrapped it with my fabric.

Step 2: Tack the fabric tightly around the it.

Step 3: I took the glass out of this frame and duck taped the cork board to the back of it. I added the hooks last and then hung it up. It's nice to have my jewelry out where I can remember to wear it.
