I'm starting to focus on my holiday projects..
When I was at a garage sale I found these frames...
for $1 each, this is when my inspiration hit me.
Took them home, painted white, and took apart.
I made a template of the frame back by using a manilla file folder ...
I sprayed the template with spray adhesive and placed a piece of burlap on top.
Placed it back in the frame...
I've always loved plaid for the holiday's
Cut into 1 1/2" strips (length of material), my machine wasn't set up,
so I did a quick hand running stitch down then center..
Pulled the thread to gather, place on top of burlap and hot glued down.
Dollar Tree has these glitter squares for a buck..
I used black because I like how it popped!
After cutting my letters out, hot glued to center.
Here's the Joy I've been working on...
I will use them as wall decor, but right now my walls are filled with Fall decor.
What Joy have you been working on?

Cathy, those turned out awesome! I was at $T a couple days ago and found small glitter letters but not the glitter sheets. I'll definitely have to go back and look again. Love the plaid too!! =)
Well now, aren't those just too cute? Nice job - they look lovely!
Those are so cute and pretty! Nicely done! Hope you have a grand Sunday. Toodles, Kathryn @TheDedicatedHouse

I LOVE that plaid, so festive. I love anything for Christmas that says "Joy", my Mom's name is Joy!
Thanks so much for linking up to Make the Scene Monday, hope to see you again next week!
Beautiful!. I happened upon your site and now it's in my favs. I would love to go back to my home house. It is occupied by a lady who has kept it up and seems to enjoy decorating it. At. least that's what I can glean from the outside.
Really cool and great deal on the $1 frames! Thanks for sharing and....
Congrats on being featured this week at Wow Us Wednesday!
