Ribbon Board

I am not a crafty person so my addiction to Pinterest is pretty ironic really. Cruising the girly things for the past 6 months has brought me to some fun inspiration (and yummy recipes might I add.) Now I have to admit I have a little obsession – bows, flowers, and all sort of hair things and a huge jar just wasn't holding it all. So I combined a few pins, got some tips from a friend who is a crafty blogger at Our Fifth House and set out to create Noelle's ribbon board.

The Inspiration:

I doodled out a plan and gathered my items.  I had this HUGE frame from the old condo that I saved just for something special.  I was hesitant because it is SO big, but I love that it is now a statement piece in her room.

Thank goodness for my hubby who helped me with almost everything, I had the vision and he executed most of it.  Being 9 months prego I couldn't spray paint, bend over the floor, twist hooks (that’s more of a girly wimpy hands thing) and so on.  I measured, made marks gathered supplies (shopping – I can DO that!) and we started off on our project!  Gus pray painted the hooks, helped staple ribbon, glued scrapbook paper to the canvas and lined up her "N" perfectly.

And here is the final result on Noelle’s wall, I LOVE it!
