Thrifty Thursdays

A couple of weeks back was my beautiful nieces 3rd birthday. Instead of running to Toys"r"us to buy her a gift I decided I would make her present this year. I went to Target and purchased a pair of leggings and a long sleeve shirt for $9. I have tons of fabric that is just sitting on my craft shelf so I didn't need to purchase any:) I cranked up the sewing machine and this was my result.....

I was so pleased with the way it turned out, lets just hope it holds up!

Thrifty Thursdays

I never throw away greeting cards, I simply recycle them and use them as gift tags.......

Supplies you will need.....

Scissors, Hole puncher, decorative scissors (optional), Ribbon, Old Greeting card, and a Marker

Step one: Cut the off the back part of the greeting card.

Step 2: Using your decorative scissors cut out what ever shape you like out of the front of the greeting card ( I choose to do a square)

Step 3: Using a hole puncher punch a hole in the top left corner.

Step 4: On the back side of the card write a message or To: & From:

Step 5: Using Ribbon tie the gift tag on to gift bag or box ( On gift bags I like to tie the ribbon to the little plastic hook used to hang it on the display).

And there you have it, a frugal gift tag!

Thrifty Thursdays

For this Thrifty Thursday I pulled out my sewing machine and made my little man some rockin pajamas. I am thinking about making all my nieces and nephews some for Christmas.

Thrifty Thursdays

This is a project I did awhile back, let me tell you the storey behind it first. One of my best girlfriends lives in a big fancy house, her husband is a custom home builder so you can only imagine the beautiful details. In every room she has one wall custom painted to a certain theme. Every time I leave her house I am inspired to go home and fix up my tiny little house. I decide to copy her walls by attempting to paint a few walls in my house myself. I am a very crafty person but I can not even draw a stick figure so had was in for a challenge. I went to Hobby Lobby (my absolute favorite) and picked up a stencil and brushes then I stopped by home depot for paint. First let me show you her walls (I hope you don't mind Ginny).....

Aren't her walls AWESOME! To have someone come in and custom paint you walls can start at around $300 and go way up from there. My walls cost me a total of around $50 for both walls, there not as good as her beautiful custom walls but they look pretty darn good if you ask me!

Happy Thrifty Thursday!!!!
