Well I have knocked 2 more items off my Pinterest Challenge list! So that makes 4 out of the 6. I hope to get to the other 2 at some point...1 of them is a card so you think that would be fairly easy to accomplish! ;)
I have been wanting a flat iron holder for quite some time now. When I came across this pin on how to make one from a pot holder I was sold on making one. Well I finally got around to doing it the other day!!!
Here is the pot holder I started with. I found it at Wal-mart for about $3. It came with a towel, spatula and recipe card! All I did was fold it in half with the pocket on the outside and stitch from the pocket down all the way around the bottom. I did have to take my foot of my sewing machine for it to fit in there. Even then it was a tight squeeze. But I got the job done!
Here is my straightener....snug as a bug in a rug! The cord even has a nice snug home in the pocket!
Next up was some elephant art. I had this one on my list to do but changed to this as my inspiration. It will work double duty for me. First as a welcome to guests on the entry table at my sisters baby shower. Then as art work on the wall in her nursery!
I loved the giraffe picture that I took my inspiration from. I just went to my friend google images and searched for a profile picture of an elephant head. Then I cut it out and traced it onto decorative paper. I hand sketched the "hello" at the bottom. I am loving how it turned out!
The other pins I finished for this challenge were patches for jeans and cinnamon roll waffles.
