Ikea Kid's Bed Makeover
Hello All! I hope you're having a great week! A few weeks ago we took a few days off work and stayed home with no plans - it was amazing! I got a few projects done that have been on my list for a while. The biggest one (besides cleaning my whole house) was this kid's bed makeover for one of my favorite little me, my nephew Dylan. I made him some name blocks a few months back to go with his room, and it's almost time for him to switch to a big boy bed, so I volunteered to paint this bed to match his football-themed room too!
Dylan's parents found this bed at Ikea for $19 in the as-is section - love that section!

Here's the before... (yes, I painted in my kitchen - it was too hot outside!)
And here's the after...
I used a light gray paint as the base, red for the lines and brown for the guard bar. I cut out Dylan's initials using my cricut and traced them on the headboard and then hand painted them with the light gray. I also glued a wooden football from Hobby Lobby with Gorilla Glue. I love the way it turned out - so cute!
Well, thanks for stopping by, have a happy Thursday!

Bleach Tie-Dye
Happy Thursday everyone! Today's project is brought to you thanks to my experience of being a leader in a high school youth group. We tried bleach tie-dye for shirts for a trip, and then I tried it again to make fun shirts for a friend of mine. The great thing about this is that it's cheap!
I didn't get many good pictures of the process, so sorry about that.
All you need is bleach, a colored shirt, a bottle, and rubber bands. I got my shirts for $5 each at Walmart, and I already had everything else.
Start by pinching a section of the shirt and then twist the it around. Wrap 3 or 4 rubber bands around the shirt so it looks like a pie. Then pour the bleach in every other section of the shirt on both sides.
Let the shirt sit until you can see the bleach working. Anywhere from 5-20 minutes, depending on the shade of the shirt.
Once you've let it sit, rinse out the shirt and then run it through the wash by itself. And then you're done!
This is a great project to do with kids, and you don't have the mess of all that dye to worry about (only the bleach...). I suggest lighter colors because they make a better contrast in the end. Now, go channel your inner-hippie!
Have a great weekend! Don't forget to link up to the party this week!
