My Featured Picks!

Here are a couple of the shares from last week that I absolutely LOVED!  Make sure you visit the other hosts too to see their featured picks….it might be you! :)

I love absolutely everything about this DIY Wrapped Canvas Embroidered Wall Art by Sadie Seasongoods!  Isn’t it just lovely??  I mean she upcycled a thrift store frame and some vintage linens by jazzing them up with some hand embroidery.  Genius!  Since I have a ton of embroidery thread left over from my no hammering faux wood string art project, I think I may have to try out a project like this in the near future! {PIN IT!}

 

Now here’s a great way to get that super trendy metallic letter look.  These DIY Faux Metal Letters by Meatloaf and Melodrama are just the ticket….and they’re way less expensive than buying the real thing! {PIN IT!}
