I loved the dainty flowers on this old nightgown, so I didn't want to just throw it away. If you can't tell, it is a light pink material with darker pink cute little flowers on it. I thought it would look cute in the girl's room.
First, I cut out a piece of cardboard and cut out a piece of the nightgown to hot glue it to cover it. Next, I used a transparancy page that I used to paint a tree limb on the girl's wall. After I put all that in the frame, I knew it needed a little something extra.
After the little one got in my cabinet and helped herself to the cupcake liners and I found them lying on the living room floor, I almost threw them all away. Luckily, I thought that I could use them for something. So, I put together a little cupcake liner flower and hot glued it to the bottom right corner of the frame to add a little extra touch.
I think it turned out cute, considering the fact that I didn't spend any money at all and have a new piece of art for their room.
















Adorable! And what a great way to recycle things around the house. Nice job!

Hey, found you on Mom's Monday Mingle. Love the recycling!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute idea! I have kept so many of my children's clothing for sentimental reasons. This is a great use for them!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! What a great idea! Especially since kids outgrow their clothes so quickly! Great job!

This is darling. I love that it adds both texture and dimension to your already cute owl art. And the littles grow out of clothes so fast, these is a fun way to remember a favorite article of clothing. My kids love revisiting their outgrown clothes, sometimes to my frustration. :)
ReplyDeleteI followed you over from the Heatherly Loves linky party. I would love if you stopped by my blog.
Thanks for sharing,

ReplyDeleteVery cute!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea!! I am totally going to be on the lookout for clothes from my kids that could be turned into art. Thanks for the post!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea - saw you on linky party. My post this week is about using a photo frame too!
ReplyDeleteCame over from DIY to see the nightgown makeover. Such a cute idea. When I was young, my granny would make me beautiful gowns with hand-tatted lace. When they wore out, they were tossed. I wish I had them back now!
