Barrett Holder

I found the cutest way to make a barrett holder from a new blog I found. As soon as I saw it, I wanted to make it. It's so easy and very cute. Here is the idea I found. The blog is http://theidearoom.blogspot.com

She has a lot of cute ideas and a lot of fun recipes.

Here is the one I made. The light is kind of funny because it looked horrible using the flash, so this is what I got.

Here is how you make it. Get a frame and either use the backing for it, or cut out cardboard or whatever. Just make sure it fits in the frame. I got my frame for 99 cents at Goodwill. I spray painted it brown. Next cut out batting to fit the backing of the frame. Then cover it with material. I was super lazy and just taped it to the board. Next cut strips of ribbon and tape them to the back. You can put how many ever strips you want.

Add some cute bows and then place it in the frame and there you go! It was so easy and it looks cute. I like the idea of using batting. It gives it a nice look.

Here is a picture frame my mom gave me last Christmas. I had it hanging in Anna's room and then took it down when we painted. I haven't put it back up yet because the frame is black. Well, I was looking at it the other day and decided to try sanding it and see if it was wood or not. Well, it was wood, so I sanded the whole thing and spray painted it brown. Now, it matches Anna's room and I can hang it up.

I still want to put something above Anna's crib, but it's going to have to be vinyl or something. I can't hang anything there in case it falls down. Pretend the vacuum isn't there. :) I still don't have a good place to put that thing.
