Wall Mail Holder


I needed a place to put the mail... especially bills that need to be paid. So I made this. Really like how it came out. I had been dying to use this paper by Webster's Pages. I cut the house out of one sheet and adhered it to some chipboard so it would stand out a little more against the background paper. And I just love that tree cardstock sticker! Two pieces of twill are used like hinges to keep the cover from opening all the way.
Project Ingredients:
Webster's Pages Hello Beautiful
Mod Podge
twill
Chipboard Covers (from an unused project)

Meal Planner Wall


This is the second version of my Meal Planner Wall. I really like this one. I found the most perfect paper for it. It was very easy to make. I bought a magnetic/dry erase board for about six bucks at WalMart and covered it with the paper (using magnets). I can change the paper if I want without anything ripping.
I had some magnetic backed paper that I cut into strips for the meals. I like that I can rearrange the meals without erasing and what not. The clipboards on wither side were altered to match using some more of the same paper. One clipboard is for my grocery list and one is for my WalMart/Costco list. The bookshelf under helps anchor it all. Originally that was not there...but it really made a difference. It also gives me a place to house my cookbooks and cooking magazines as well as my Recipe Nest (love that thing!). I got the Bon Apetit wall vinyl at Kohl's. I had a coupon and $10 in Kohl's Cash. It ended up costing under $5.00. So...I figure this project cost me well under $20 since a few items were repurposed. Not bad...and ever so functional!
