This Week's Trash to Treasure

Remember this boring valance from yesterday's post.


Well....I decided to dress it up a little!I wanted the valance to match this shower curtain in our master bath.
So, I made a similar leaf stencil out of card stock using my Xacto knife.
Here is the finished product!


I think that it is a step up from where it started.


Now, I want to stencil leaves around the top of my bathroom walls.

One thing always leads to another....





On to the leaf candle dishes.....



I bought 2 autumn harvest votive candles at Hobby Lobby today. They were on sale for $.50 each. I then used a piece of scrap fabric and tied them together. I want to add a tag that says, "I am so glad that I have "fallen" into your kindergarten/pre-school class."



My little man saw them when he got home from school.


He said, "Mom, these are CUTE!"


He wants to take the one that is less "pointy" to his teacher!


Gotta love this $1 teacher gift!
