We draw names for all the kiddos and set a budget. My budget was $20. Since I live in a world of nothing but boys I always jump at the chance to make something girly. Yea for GIRLS!! I set off to make my niece, Nadiya, something for her room. Colors are hot pink and brown. A friend of mine made cork boards for her daughters room and that had me inspired. I looked and looked in Michaels and just wasn't feeling it. Have you ever had one of those days where nothing is inspiring to you? After round 3 of walking each isle I stopped at the 12x12 scrapbook frames. Hmmm, I can buy cork in 12x12 sheets! Hmmm, those Gerber Daisies are on sale!!(or so I thought) I used my 50% off coupon for the cork, bought pink and brown ribbon, bought some paint and the pink daisies to border the frame. I ended up taking the daisies back because they were not on sale and found a pink Hawaiian lay necklace that was hot pink for $3 and bought that instead. I cut the string to the necklace and pulled the flowers off. I painted the frame chocolate brown and hot glued the flowers on it. Placed a shiny stud in the middle of the flowers and braided the ribbon together so she could hang it on her wall. Plus, I hot glued her name on the cork. I will try to get a better shot but this hopefully gives you the idea.
