Mini Bookshelf Wall Hanging

Hi everyone!  It is my birthday and here I am with a DIY!

This is a tiny and cute bookshelf hanging.  Here is how I did it.

You'll need:
















Paint in a color of your choice
a small wooden plaque
a miniature bookshelf (I got mine at Hobby Lobby)
miniature books 
wood glue
a picture hanger

Paint the plaque whatever color you want.  While it's drying, glue the mini books together.

















When the glue has dried, pure more glue on the bottom of the row of books and press it onto the bookshelf.

















When the books have dried on the bookshelf, glue the whole thing to the plaque.

When that's dry, glue a hanger to the back.  I used Amazing Goop for mine and let it dry for a couple of days.


















TA-DAH!

Love is in the Air

This probably fits better in a Valentine's Day post.  However, my sister is getting married in a couple of weeks, so love-themed things are on my mind.




I did this for my boyfriend.  It's framed in a 4" frame and took me about half an hour to stitch up.  I washed and dried it so that it's not all stiff and you can't see the transfer lines.

What I've Been Doing

Here are some photos of things I've done over the past few months.  The cheeseburger is from Mrs. Wooly and the rest are from the Makoto Oozu book. 


Tomorrow- a new project and some goals for the year!
