Airplane decor
We picked these airplane prints up at the HAFB museum LAST summer! They have been sitting on the floor in the boys bedroom because I had no idea what to do with them. 4 frames this size would be too much money, and my husbands idea was great...but I wasn't going to wait around for him to do a project, he's too busy!


So this is what I came up with. I got a tip from an overly friendly lady at a craft store one day that canvases were cheap at Big Lots. I can never find anything there, but I gave it a shot. Sure enough they were a great price! (only if you're not looking for high quality though)


Anyway, easy and painless, I painted them brown first, then mod-podged them on to the canvas.


Hung them up in a sqaure and they look great on the blue and brown walls! My next project is this same idea with the canvas and the mod-podge, but with the IF temple.

I FINALLY learned how to make a blanket like this!
You know, the ones with the perfect corners and a 2 inch border around the whole thing. Well, our local fabric store had an example hanging on the wall and some instructions (thank you Ben Franklin). I could not wait to try it. I fell in LOVE with this fabric and made it for my daughter Lucy (who does not need any more blankets)! Anyway, when I needed a little help I just googled self binding blanket and so many tutorials popped up! I'm so excited, I wish someone else would have a baby so I can make you a blanket!
