Shutter Love

No, not photo shutter love, this old shutter love!

I grabbed those old blue shutters that Greg had replaced on a house and was going to throw away.

I brought one up and haphazardly painted a bunny on it. I wanted the blue to seep through.



I hot glued a ribbon (with wires) to it.



I cut out some eggs from paint samples that I stole was looking for colors for a room and glued on.

Then I made a puffy (kind of) tail. If you want to see how I made the tail, go here.

It was warm the day I took that picture. It's supposed to snow this weekend, so as soon as Spring is really here, I'm going to put it on the front porch.

Recycled Shutters

First off I have to say, these pictures are BAD! I might even get kicked out of blog world over these bad pictures! Here's my excuse. For the past 3 days I have worked my butt heart out getting 5 Advent Calendars done before Dec.1 and yes, I did it! I wanted to post today and pulled these pictures out and well, you'll see, they're bad.

I know it's hard to tell but that is a shutter Greg replaced on someones house (if you are the old owner of this shutter, too bad). When Krissi moved to her new house I thought the girls needed a little something to hang their masterpieces on.

I painted one side of it with chalkboard paint.

Mod-podged paper to the other side and covered clothespins that I glued to it.

I cut out the letters and mod-podged them on and made some fabric flowers.

Hope you get the idea. I did one for Jalynn and I'll get better pictures of it to show you. By the way, do you notice the JoAnn's coupon hanging there? That's for me!
