Kitchen Bling From Dollar Store Items

8/21/2017

Dollar Stores are fun places to browse.  I love my local spots and frequent them often.  It is hard to pass up things that have bright colors and are inexpensive.  I look for things that can be embellished with personalized embroidery. If I can alter something to give it a new purpose or look, it makes the creative process even more satisfying.
Picture
The friend I made these items for absolutely loves to be in her kitchen. Blue is her favorite color and she loves the beach.  So when I saw these bright blue potholders and the tropical towel, I knew I had to come up with something cute for her.
Picture
I was lucky to have a dish drying mat in my stash that matched the towel perfectly so I incorporated it.
Picture
The entire gift came together nicely and she absolutely loved it.  I have a video on my you tube channel showing the process. You can watch it here.

Personalized Burlap Sign

8/14/2017

Personalization is always a great choice for gifts.  I really love to create special items for people that would be difficult to find in retail stores.  When their name is on the gift, it shows the receiver you went that extra step.  It doesn't have to be fancy.  The little burlap sign above is made entirely with remnants.  Burlap is a homey textile and the family this was designed for loves that style of decorating.
Picture
The embroidery is a combination of a purchased design and software creation. Red canvas material really makes it stand out while muslin gives it a solid background to frame the design.  Layering fabrics and trims helps to give the sign a more substantial look.
Picture
The best part is seeing the sign in the home of this wonderful family. They really loved it.  If you would like to see my process for sewing this sign, there is a download below. I hope you have enjoyed this post, share what you learn and are generous with what you make. Someone will appreciate your hard work!
