My crafty Side!

I love anything that involves me getting creative! Thanks to Pinterest I have found so many things that I want to do! I plan to check at least 4 off of my to do list every month! Tay's birthday makes one, and this next project makes #2.  To start with I'm trying to give my living room a vintage feel. This is hard since my couch and lamps are very modern but what can ya do! LOL This was one of the most creative and fun projects I have ever worked on so I was super stoked! Even better I made it for around $5 , so I got a beautiful piece of art work with out breaking the bank! First I will start with a picture of what I made and then walk you through the process.

First I started at the Habitat For Humanity where I found the window already painted a perfect shade of red (that was $2) I then found some vintage picture frames (.25/each) and 4 vases (also .25/each)

Next I took some plastic chicken wire type stuff, we already had this from a different house project so thankfully I didn't have to buy that. I measured it out and used a staple gun to secure it, and used a glue gun to make sure it was good to go!

The next step was to take my frames and lay them out where I thought they should go. I then secured them with picture wire, and some more super glue ( I LOVE super glue , lol) I did the same with the vases. But I also wrapped some black ribbon around the vases.
Lastly I took some flowers that I already had that really matched the room and I arranged them into the vases.

So the entire project took me less then an hour, cost less then a poster, and fits wonderfully in the room! I'm going with a A+ for this project!
Here is the finished piece up on the wall. I couldn't be happier!
