I finally made one!

Ok, I have been looking, ogling(that's right), tagging, these all over crafty-blog world and now, I finally have one for myself!! I wasn't sure where I'd ever get the materials, they seemed so evasive. Hello Habitat for Humanity Restore, and thank you very much free garage sale stuff! So, here's what I made:


I started off with a $2 drawer from the Restore, some dowels and of course my never ending supply of ribbon!

I ripped out the contact paper, drilled my holes, and sanded it down a little.

This is Dustin's "coat hanger from the rafters" paint set up. I decided the fumes might be a little too much for me.

I had Dustin paint the dowels too, but the canary yellow basically looks like the color of a dowel, oh well. I glued little ribbon flags on one end to help avoid little fingers pushing them all the way through.

Here's a close up. The back looks "eh" because of where the contact paper ripped off the original paint, but it's not that noticeable from far away.

I'll be linking up with
