and the soon to be named
glue gun
Then I took some green fabric and made some binding just like I did for my levi aprons.
Then I hot glued it along the edges of the burlap
hot glue hot glue..more hot glue
all done.
Then I took my freaking awesome ruffle fabric...
cut a rectangle...and hot glued it to the ends of each side of the burlap.
I actually tucked it underneath the binding...so maybe you should have done the ruffle fabric first....)
put it across my table.
decided it need a centerpiece.
do you like this cute glitterfied shamrock?
had no intention of doing this...but I came upstairs to my daughters room and found......
kameron. did you touch mommy's stuff?
"nope"
hmmm..
So I did a quick cutting out of a shamrock shape.
painted them
and covered them with glue.
Then I took them upstairs, laid them on the floor...and shook out the rug and bedspread on them.
a mom has got to do what a mom has got to do.
I cut out a few other shamrocks...and hot glued them to sticks.
much better!
Really festive! Now all you need is some green beer :o)

seriously need some of that fabric. the possibilities are endless!
ReplyDeleteOh you can't be mad at her... she just trying to be like mommmy. Glitter just needs a child-proof lock, just like medicine. Children and glitter always equals a mess, even with supervision.

ReplyDeleteLove it! That runner looks so easy & quick- my kind of project! The shamrock center piece is so cool!
ReplyDeleteYou are seriously the queen of the glue gun!! That is one of the cutest runners I've ever seen! And I LOVE that you used the glitter from the "accident". Totally something I would do. :)
ReplyDeleteWow! I'm going to have to make a fabric run now. I hate to sew, and to pull out my sewing machine is like pulling out a tooth. But, now I am going to have to give my glue gun a name and put her to work making table runners in every possible theme and holiday! Thanks for sharing.
