Towel Hanger Tutorial

MAKE SURE YOU ENTER THE GIVEAWAY FOR ONE BEAUTIFUL APRON! THE WINNER WILL BE ANNOUNCED ON AUGUST 12TH, 2010.


Hey Guys I posted this tutorial over at Crystals Craft Spot but I really wanted it in my list as well so I am posting it here too!!!

Here is the tutorial for how to make a perfect towel hanger for your kids room... I wanted something unique for my kids rooms and I stumbled across a blog Aly&Ash and she had this great idea. I made one for Joshua's room and one for Peytons: Here is the easy 30 minute craft you all can do.

Supplies

-Wood frame from Michaels or your local craft store
-Mod Podge
-Sponge Brush
-Scrapbook paper of your liking
-garnishments (a letter, ribbon, Pearls or rhinestones)
-Dresser knob of your choosing from your local hardware store
-An adorable picture of your baby!

Start off by tracing your frame onto your paper



Then cut it out and take the mod podge and place a thin layer all over the front of the frame... I used a thin layer with Joshua's frame and then a thicker layer with Peyton's and it wasn't as nice...I don't have pictures but I was actually disappointed at first and almost started over.


Let it dry

Add a thin layer on top of the paper

Let it dry

Add another thin layer

hmm... and you guessed it let it dry

Then add your letter or pearls or whatever you would like... I chose to mod podge my picture to the cardboard backing but you don't have to.

The last thing that you will do is drill a hole through the frame and place your knob on... I don't have a picture because... OK the truth... my husband moved my craft stuff from the kitchen island to the dinning room table, in that move the screw for my glass knob was lost... I looked all over then in frustration I super glued it to the frame... and it worked like a charm!!! I searched for weeks for the right embellishment, I looked a ribbon or more paper but then stumbled across these pearls and I love it...




Here is Joshua's...Again He loves soccer but has a red white and blue room...
