I’m not sure where I saw this idea for using contact paper to cover your old food cans, but I have been trying to find time to try it for a couple months.

Finally did and it was so easy… here I’ve used it not only as an organizing element, but also as a little flower pot on our “brand new” thrifted table we purchased this week for $8!! I love cool cheap furniture.

I wonder what else could I cover in wood grain contact paper… HMMMMM????

My first attempt at making an applique…the “right” way. Not sure why I settled on a pair of lips, but hey… it’s fun! (at least I think so, even if it does end up just being a p.j. shirt) My favorite part about the shirt is that the lips are soft. I used some red flannel fabric my husband had purchased a while back. I have never worked with flannel before so I hope it will hold up alright over time. Either way, it was fun and easy to make! My promise to you… MORE APPLIQUES TO COME!!
