Small Craft Storage




  I've had this small wooden mail holder around for quite some time.  I purchased it months ago from the thrift store.  Today I decided to something with it!


  I placed stickers on the mail holder,


and gave it a couple coats of spray paint.

 
Once the paint dried, I peeled the letters off.  It looked plain, so I decided to add to it.


  I cut small triangles pennants from leftover fabric.


 

  *Quick tip:  When cutting shapes from fabric, try placing a piece of thick, sturdy paper behind the fabric.  It makes cutting through fabric A LOT easier!


  Using my glue gun, I attached the pennants to the holder.  I added rosettes made of twine and felt leaves to finish it off.




  It's the perfect size to store small craft items!

Hey there, Brandi!
It's fun to pop by your blog because I never know what you'll do next. Very cute idea! The addition of the burlap rosettes and banner give it personality.
I keep wanting to say, "have a nice weekend"! Think I'm done with the week already, haha!
Alright, have a super night my friend! XOXO
