It’s FINALLY done…the $5 Tulle Ruffle Skirt
First, before you buy your fabric you are going to need 2 measurements. The first is a waist measurement, in my case I need 20 inches. Then take a length measurement,in my case 10 inches (waist to knee measurement). I made this particular skirt for a 2 year old. Now to know how much fabric to buy.....double the waist measurement. Mine will be 40 inches. Add 2 inches to the length measurement. Mine will be 12. You need a piece of fabric 12 inches by WoF(width of fabric that you will cut to 40 ... View the Post

Cut the fabric to fit your board---allow yourself 2 extra inches on each side---enough to wrap it around and secure it on the back side.#3. Attach the fabric by stapling it to the back side.#4. Make your ruffle. (Should we post a step by step tutorial on ruffles?)#5. Hot glue (yes, hot glue, the love of my life) the ruffle along the line where ... View the Post
$5 Friday…An Old Felt/Cork Board Make-over Finished…Almost
Here it is...the finished version of my old felt/cork board.I chose some fabric I got on the clearance rack for $2.00 a yard at a fabric store in Provo. I paired that with a remnant roll of canvass I got at Wal-Mart for $2.17. Then I used a ruffle I left off of an apron I made last week. And finally I glued on some flowers from left over fabric pieces and a doilie I had leftover from the place mats I made.I love the results. I am dying to hang it on my yellow wall and add the quotes, ideas, etc. ... View the Post
