Right now on Canvas People you can grab an 8×10 canvas for FREE! These canvases look amazing with or without a frame around them.

Look how Amee Nelson Photography (above) displayed various size canvas prints – now is a good time to stock up on the 8x10s! Photo found on Pinterest.

Special Effects Idea!

These Canvas People Prints have Special Photo Effects. Choose Photo Enhancement, Black & White, and Sepia. While they do not offer the above option for FREE I would say go ahead and get a black and white picture and have fun adding paint to your print… I could be a neat way to allow your child to make a craft for Grandma and Grandpa!

If you do not want the FREE 8×10, get $50 off any size canvas. See the price chart above.

Instead of doing a photo, you can also upload a child’s artwork! You could mix imagery when you hang your photos – portraits, family shots, and children’s artwork in a fun display/collage. I love the idea form Centsational Girl where you display items on a shelf. I think it would look great with a mixture of Canvas Prints – maybe of your artist with paint all of her face/hands! It doesn’t have to be the most formal picture, capture fun!

Head to Canvas People to make your new artwork for FREE!

Do It Yourself Child’s Desk from Old Crib

(Scroll over image to Pin to Pinterest)

Crib Desk

Well I did it! I converted my daughter’s crib into a desk! I had a Pinterest “you must be drunk” moment when I saw an example online and I found this project to be incredibly easy. I did it without help and no sewing! It was a great way to recycle an old crib and reuse my little girl’s oversized furniture.

How to Turn a Crib into a Desk:

I took off the front part of her bed (her bed can easily convert into a day bed or a full bed.)
I placed the crib in the highest position. This gave elevation for a desk and room for my child’s legs.
I measured the width and length of where the mattress pad normally lays. I had a board cut to size. Note: Home Depot cut it up for FREE. This was about $20 with plenty of extra scrap board for other craft projects (the wheels are already turning.)
I primed and then painted the board which chalkboard paint. This was about $20.
I used my daughter’s old bed skirt to hide the area below the crib. Underneath the desk, I have plenty of hidden storage! This is probably my favorite feature.
For less than $40 at Home Goods, I was able to get baskets and display suitcases to place paper, crayons, markers, and other desk activity items. This was $40 and included the price of a lamp on clearance for $20.
I hot glued ribbon that I had already around the edge of the cut board. This gave the trim extra detail and prevented the “rough” sides from rubbing against my kids when they played.
I used two chairs I had in the house to complete the seats for the desk.

Total: My total out of pocket to repurpose the crib was about $80.

Save More: I could have saved at Home Goods by using items I had around the house or hitting the Dollar Store for possible storage solutions. I also purchased a board that was more expensive. There were cheaper options at Home Depot.

Love this idea, pin it to Pinterest! Scroll over the image to upload.

It is a great idea for a future craft!

Vinegar is a miracle (cheap) liquid that no house should go without! I was looking around on Pinterest for a list of Vinegar uses and came across this awesome list from 7thhouseontheleft.com (isn’t that a cute blog name?) called 77 Uses for Vinegar!

My top 5 Favorites are:

Soothe bee or jellyfish stings with vinegar.

Get rid of deodorant stains by rubbing the stain with vinegar, then wash as usual.

Make homemade stickers. Boil vinegar in a pan, then turn down to low and add some gelatin. Let the mixture cool and brush it on the back of your “sticker art” then cut in your desired shape. Let dry and you have homemade stickers (from here)!

Boil better eggs by adding 2 tablespoons of vinegar before boiling. This keeps them from cracking and helps the peel to come off easier.

Deodorize the kitchen drain by poring a cup down the drain once a week.

Moss Covered Monogram Craft

April 1, 2012 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Crafts, Education, Pinterest

Is springtime buzzing with activity at your house? It sure is for us, so we thought we would bring you a simple but buzz worthy creation for your home.

All you’ll need is…

A wooden initial (first or last name will do!)
A sheet of moss (sold in sheets that are folded and bagged at your local craft store)
A hot glue gun
A craft knife
Embellishments such as bees, butterflies optional (found in the florist section of your local craft store)

Unfold the sheet of moss on a flat surface. We recommend laying down an old tablecloth. That makes cleaning up the moss debris easier! With a heated glue gun, outline the initial (the side that you want to cover with moss) with a fair amount of glue. Quickly, arrange your wooden initial on the sheet of moss face side down. Apply a little pressure to make sure the moss has adhered to the initial. Use an craft knife to trim away excess moss. Depending on the season, add embellishments to your initial. We couldn’t resist these little bumblebees. We didn’t have to glue them on; we just tucked their legs in the moss which allows for an easy change out later on. However, a spot of glue on an adornment wouldn’t hurt.

So quick and simple that you can buzz on to your next activity!
