*dorm room picture holders*

This week I decided to make my sister and her roommate Courtney some cute picture holders. My future sis-in-law Leatha gave me this idea. She made a Christmas card holder for hers.  This project is sooo easy and simple I can't wait to show you how to make one for yourself ;)

Supplies

• Cardboard  circle
• clothespins
• fabric or scrapbook paper   *I used fabric
• hot glue gun
• fabric glue
• paint (optional)
• ribbon

First you cut out your cardboard to the desired size....mine measured 15 inches




Then cut your fabric or scrapbook paper to cover the front




Next I covered my cardboard with fabric gluing it down with fabric glue  * *fabric glue I found works best



Cut off excess material from the back



Flip over and start hot gluing down you clothespins ** Also I used the ribbon here....to make a loop so they can hang securely   (see 2 pics below)


Once you have glued the pins down you can start personalizing your picture holder....** I painted my pins and also stenciled  there names in the middle....** I also made a few fabric flowers and added them ...

My Sisters...
I painted the pins white and added fabric flowers  sorry the pic quality is bad it's took from my blackberry
Courtney...her roommate
I didn't add anything to hers just painted the pins blue and green

Both of them.....I love these and I know they will too! :)  
Enjoy!!
