Craft idea

You may remember our boring, blank wall opposite our couch in the living room. Well, I did a little makeover and thought you might be interested in learning how it was done. For the record, it was my sister's idea. She's so creative.

Step 1: gather materials: Styrofoam in desired shape, fabric, measuring tape, hot glue gun, scissors, and wall mounting thingies.


Step 2: Measure fabric and cut, giving yourself a good margin.


Step 3: Center the styrofoam onto the fabric. Fold the fabric over, as tight as possible, and glue down with "special styrofoam glue" that you just bought as a craft store for $4. Squeeze hard.

Start getting angry at the label which reads "easy flow". Squeeze harder, and clench jaw.

Get mocked my your husband who tells you that you have to cut the tip of the bottle before squeezing. Whupps! Riiiiight.

Step 4: Resume anger emotions when the "special styrofoam glue" doesn't even stick.

Step 5: Try stapling. Cross fingers.


Step 6: Uncross fingers to pull out stupid loose staples.


Step 7: Decide to make a friend across the way to borrow a hot glue gun. Hope?


Step 8: Do a little happy dance, until the glue runs out.

Step 9: Let your frustration out without destroying your project.


NEXT DAY.
Step 10: Bike to CVS to buy hot glue sticks.

Step 11: Continue the project, leaving aside your resentment toward it.

Step 12: Secure the wall hanging thingies (with glue gun) to the back of the project.


Step 13: Hang project on wall, and go picture crazy.




Step 14: Leave the house so that you can come back later and be happy when you see it again. :)

So in 14 easy steps, you can makeover a wall in your house! ;)
