Christmas Card Cuteness

With Christmas coming around the corner, and many christmas cards coming in, where do you put them all without too much work on a display? I collected several different ways to display your cards without them piling up on your desk or kitchen table!

Don't let those Christmas cards pile up anymore! Use them as decoration for the holidays!

Dressing Up My Dresser

I used to have a plain white dresser and I really needed more color in my room. With a light blue and orange color scheme I knew I wanted to go with one of those colors. I will first start with several years ago when I got the dresser. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures from before I owned it, it was plain, ugly, unfinished wood. I painted it white with regular Behr Interior Eggshell Enamel from Home Depot.

Then after several years of boring, I decided to spice it up with some color. I am extremely unartistic when it comes to painting things, so painting was not the option for me. Instead I decided to Mod Podge my dresser. This idea would also work with scrapbook paper or tissue paper, but I decided to try something new and different. I Mod Podged fabric onto my dresser....

Things you'll need:
1. A Dresser
2. Mod Podge matte
3. Sponge brush
4. Screwdriver
5. Super Cute Fabric (I used a pretty thick orange and white fabric)

Steps to Mod Podge your dresser:

Step 1: Take everything out of your dresser, clothing, items, etc.
Step 2: Take the drawers out of the dresser, makes it easier to measure fabric.
Step 3: Take the handles or knobs out of the dresser drawer.
Step 4: Cut desired fabric into the shape of the front of your drawer (only the part seen when the drawer is closed) leaving a 1 inch margin around the edges.
Step 5: Using the sponge brush, paint the Mod Podge onto your dresser drawer. Do this step quickly and thoroughly because you need to stick the fabric to your drawer next.
Step 6: Place the fabric onto your dresser drawer and smooth out with your hands. Making sure the fabric is in any and all crevices.
Step 7: This step gets messy, so you might want to lay down a towel, newspaper, etc. Mod Podge over the fabric and make sure all corners are laying flat. Tuck the extra inch of fabric around the drawer and Mod Podge the corners very well. (Hint: You may have to hold it for a second while it dries a little in order to make it stick.)
Step 8: Let the drawer dry(20-30 minutes).
Step 9: Put handles back on, I used scissors to poke holes through to get the screws back in.
Step 10: Put the drawer back in its place and put back in items or clothing.

Mine turned out like this.

Looks like a painted dresser without the hassle of paint!!!!! Has a neat texture too!!!!!!

Pinspiration

Whenever I find something on Pinterest that I absolutely have to do, I call it a Pinspiration! Whenever I moved in August I got a Pinspiration for my tv stand. I was actually pretty easy to pull off with stuff I owned already and a quick Hobby Lobby run. I encourage everyone to get out there on Pinterest and find something that you too can copy!

Here was my Pinspiration:

And then was my end product:

Now go Pin and make it happen!
