TWO Months = TOO Long!!!!

Yes, it has been 2 months since I last updated - been a little busy around here!!!  Haven't had a ton of time to be crafty, but I've tried to sneak in a few projects lately!!!  :)  Here's a quick project I managed to finish recently:

* Chair Make-over:
Madelyn has a (kinda cheesy) black chair in her room, so I thought I'd jazz it up a bit!  I saw this fuzzy pink zebra fleece at Hobby Lobby & had to have it!!  It was a remnant, so I think I only paid about $2 for it!  Here's what I did:
- Unscrewed the seat & back from the chair frame.

 










- Peeled off plastic piece from the back of each cushion.
- Laid each piece face-down on the wrong side of the fleece.
- Hot glued (could have used a staple gun, but for some reason, couldn't find mine!!) fabric around the back of each piece (back of chair & seat), pulling tightly as I glued, and trimming excess.

 
















- Snapped plastic pieces back on (a little tricky).
- Screwed pieces back onto frame.   - - Viola - a new cute chair for Madelyn!!!  :)












I've started a few other projects, so hopefully I can finish them soon & get them on the blog!!
