Here's a quick and easy little project I put together.  Last Christmas I bought a little banner similar to this at the craft store.  The letters were made with red glitter vinyl.  I bought some of this four inch ribbon at Michael's.

I embroidered the word "Boo" onto the banner and then used some fraying glue to keep the edges from fraying, and hot glue to glue this around a dowel rod with some ribbon I tied on to it.  So simple, and it'll be a really cute addition to my garden for minimal cost.  I might try some of these with iron on vinyl as well that I use my cricut to cut out.

Baby Burp Cloths

Here's an extra little nursery detail.  I'm posting (over the next few weeks) the details of a nursery I put together this fall as a surprise.  I was giving the name for both genders so I could add some personalized details.  I own an embroidery machine, so I decided to make a few decorative burp cloths to match the nursery theme.  I used some of the fabrics from other projects to embellish.  All the details and projects are following shortly!

Fabric Tutu

 About a year and a half ago I got an embroidery machine....my life hasn't been the same since.  I don't think I've blogged about it (?).  I haven't gone into business or anything.  I wanted the machine b/c I'm always taking things to get embroidered, so this saves me a ton of time.  I also had a learning curve, but...I'm getting better.

 I embroidered this shirt for a former co-workers little girl.  She sent me a picture like this and there was a tutu and banner as well to go along with it, so I told her I'd make the whole outfit if she brought me the fabric she wanted...and ribbon.

 She bought about a half yard of four fabrics, and two rolls of ribbon,which was more than enough!

 I sewed a piece of elastic together that was about 18 inches (overlapping).  I also sewed a ribbon to the two ends of the elastic so I can stretch it or gather it in depending on her little girl's waist size.  I then cut the fabric in 18 inch by 1 inch (1 1/2?) pieces.  I used pinking sheers.  This prevents fabric from fraying  (the pinking sheers).

I  just tied it on with a knot.  I alternated several pieces of fabric, and then a piece of ribbon.  You can use the pinking sheers for the ribbon as well, or run it through a candle flame to seal up the ribbon edge.

Here it is with the bow.  

 I also cut triangles out of the fabric using the pinking sheers and used hot glue to fold the very top of some yarn to make a little banner for her back drop.
